Choosing the Best Crib
A crib is a crucial element in your nursery for many years and it's essential to choose a crib you enjoy admiring. Avoid cribs with cutouts and drop-sides as your child could fall in. Instead, choose a design which is easily converted into a toddler or daybed.
Safety
As parents as parents, we want to provide our children the best possible start in life, and it starts with a safe crib. You don't need to use an infant crib with many missing or loose pieces, nor do you want one that isn't in line with current safety standards. When purchasing a crib, ensure that it is certified by the CPSC, ASTM or JPMA certification.
The slats that comprise the crib must be spaced so that children aren't falling or catching their heads in them and should not have any decorative cut outs or other decorations which could cause injury risk. A mattress support system is crucial to the safety of the crib, and it should be adjustable to different heights to accommodate your child as they develop.
It is also important to stay clear of dangling objects such as curtains or blind strings, because they pose the risk of strangulation to your infant. Be sure to check your crib for missing or loose items and replace them if they are damaged.
Some cribs come with a side panel that can be lowered but it won't be down for long. They are great for parents who want to sleep with their children without the dangers of bed-sharing, but make sure you're in a room free of windows and radiators and that your baby isn't too close to the window or curtain sill.
If you're seeking a crib that is green, you should consider one made from wood from sustainable forests. It's important to choose a crib that's Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed tests to ensure low chemical emissions. If you're looking for something superior, select a crib that is made from sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA, BPA-based chemicals, phthalates and other chemicals.
Style
Whatever you decide to do, whether you want to create a minimalist or classic nursery, a chic crib is a fantastic option. The SnuzPod4 can be used in tiny spaces since it's slim and sleek. It's GREENGUARD Certified and has an adjustable lower height mattress. Maria Martin, Mother &
