Style

Both What to Expect and Baby Bargains recommend a steel spring frame as it is more stable than wood slats that can break or loosen with time.

Some reports of nonfatal accidents, including 21 reported deaths identified by the NPR and two deaths reported during the NPR Update, involve crib beds that are too soft. These incidents are characterized by a variety of dangers, such as gaps between the mattress and the crib side or head and footboard that can cause entrapment dangers; infants rolling on or being trapped between the mattress and the headboard or wall pillows and blankets that pose dangers of suffocation; and mattresses that are too hot which causes infants to be afflicted with burns, rashes and other health issues.

Some manufacturers are now marketing "breathable" crib mattresses that claim to help your baby sleep more safely and stop breathing in your baby's carbon dioxide.

Investing in cribs which can be converted into toddler beds or full-size beds can save you money on furniture and make the transition into the next stage of life easier for your child and your family.

Some models are GREENGUARD Certified Gold, which means they emit low levels of chemicals to ensure a cleaner indoor environment.

It is crucial to select the correct mattress for your child's crib, whether it be a convertible crib or standard crib. This will ensure they have an uncomfortably sleeping. You can pick from foam mattresses, innerspring and gel in different sizes to suit your needs. Choose a foam mattress at minimum 2 3/8 inches in thickness or an innerspring mattress that is in compliance with federal safety standards.

If your child is ready to move on from the crib, you'll have to buy a toddler Mini Cot Bed or a full-size bed conversion kit. It is recommended to do this before your child turns two to ensure a smooth transition and that your child is at ease.

Certain things can make the transition to a toddler bed more relaxing for your child, including keeping the decor and bedding uniform and moving the toddler bed into the same space as their crib. Engaging your child in the transition by offering them a choice of toys or stuffed animals to sleep with and encouraging them to go to bed at a regular time can help them adapt to the new bed arrangement.

A crib that can transform into a bed that is full size is an excellent method to prolong the life of your investment, and provide the bed your child needs throughout their teenage years. Conversion kits are available in various styles to match other furniture and are compatible with a variety of mattresses such as twin or full size.
