As there are numerous styles and designs of baby products today, shopping for cribs for babies can be no walk in the park. Although your budget will largely affect your selection, safety standards of your baby’s crib should be the first thing on your mind as researches have proved that sudden infant death can sometimes be due to an unsafe baby crib. Moreover, choose a design that meets your needs and fits your baby’s nursery.

Before buying a crib, look for product information on the internet. Choose a crib that meets the Federal safety regulations and is certified by the industry voluntary standards (ASTM). Safe crib designs would ensure that the baby crib mattresses are fitting well and are firm enough to comfort your baby. Always check the crib for broken hardware or board cutouts which can be dangerous.

The sides of the crib could be stationary or sliding. Sliding sides could be single or double drop gliding sides. Although sliding sides are liked by many parents, they are not recommended by the consumer product safety commission (CPSC) as they can lead to disastrous accidents. Sometimes a crib can have a drop-gate which is less hazardous than sliding sides, but its fold may become a foothold for older infants allowing them to climb out of their cribs. Drop gates can be dangerous and aren’t recommended by the federal safety regulations.

The corner posts of the crib shouldn’t extend more than 2 millimeters to the top of the end panel as these corners may catch clothing that could get entangled around your baby’s neck causing a disaster. Baby crib mattresses should be chosen to accurately fit the crib. The mattress hangers should be properly supported with tight bolts and closed hooks. An adjustable mattress height feature allows you to gently place your sleeping newborn, then it can be lowered to ensure safety of babies and toddlers who can pull to stand up.

A baby convertible crib is an infant crib that could be transformed to a toddler crib to accommodate your growing baby. The mechanical adjustable rail of the crib should be properly locked so that it won’t pop out causing accidents. Always make sure that the adjustable rail is out of your baby’s reach as he/she can easily spoil its working order. A convertible crib should have a convenient mattress support board, so that the baby can be comforted as he grows.

Keep away from cribs with footboards and headboards that could allow a baby’s head to get trapped between the top rail and the corner post. These designs have been reported to cause strangulation and are predisposing factors for sudden infant death syndrome. If you choose to paint your baby’s crib, use premium quality enamel paints.

Cribs for babies are produced by many manufacturers which produce numerous designs of baby beds. Take care to choose a design that is approved by the federal safety regulations. For more detailed safety advice, you can refer to the safety alert publications of the consumer product safety commission (CPSC).
