How to Choose the best cots for newborns Infant Cribs

Choose a crib that adheres to the highest safety standards and has no dangling or chewable components. We also suggest a crib with a wide choice of mattress heights and a stylish design that complements your style.

It is crucial to avoid putting any items in the crib of your baby that could potentially cause injury or harm, including pillows, blankets as well as sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information).

These items could easily fall between your baby's crib bars or become stuck within them. They may also get swallowed by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances.

Style

Some are just aesthetic, such as if the slats are all the same length or placed closer than others, while others have an impact on the ease of the crib to use and maintain. Some features like finials and drop sides are not safe and should be avoided. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.
