Most recommended cribs (Articlescad officially announced)

A crib is likely to be one of the most expensive purchases for your nursery. If you're looking for something modern with a minimalist design, or a convertible crib that can turn into an infant bed or a daybed, there are plenty of options there.

However, before you purchase take note of these important features:

1. Stokke Sleepi Bed

The crib is the most crucial piece of equipment for babies that parents will consider when they are acquiring the first baby. It is the place where your child will sleep, so it should be functional and beautiful and, most importantly, it should be safe and soothing. A convertible crib is perfect because it will grow with your child from the very beginning days until they move to a bigger bed. This will ease changes in sleep and ensure that your child is in a comfortable and familiar sleeping area throughout their childhood.

Stokke Sleepi beds are unique 4-in-1 cribs that grow with your child. It features a stunning curved design that evokes an womb-like space. The mattress is hypoallergenic and hypoallergenic, with a washable cover that allows for maximum airflow.

This crib is also made sustainably and complies with all British and European safety standards. It's a little more expensive than co-sleeper cribs or small cots but it has the benefit of growing with your child until five years old - assuming you buy the Junior Extension Kit at the same time.

Another benefit is that the Stokke Sleepi Bed has locking swivel wheels that make it easy to move throughout the room or into narrower doorways. It also has a height-adjustable bed with four different mattress levels.

Our testers put together the Stokke Sleepi Bed in just 45 minutes. It comes with simple instructions that give you confidence in its durability and quality. The only downside is that the Stokke Sleepi Bed doesn't come with a mattress, so you'll have to purchase one separately (which can be costly) but it's worth it as it's one of the best crib cribs for your baby.

3. Babyletto Hudson

Babyletto merges playful modern design with safe renewable materials in their range of furniture for nursery. The Hudson is a great option for anyone looking to create a sleek and modern design at a reasonable price. Plus, this crib grows with your babe from infant cot bed to toddler, changing into a convertible crib that can be used as a 3-in-1 daybed, toddler bed and crib with a conversion kit included.

We are thrilled that this crib is made from eco-friendly, non-toxic wood screened for harmful chemicals and is backed by GREENGUARD GOLD certification. It's also FSC certified which means that it was harvested from forests managed for environmental, economic and social benefits.

All Babyletto cribs are rigorously tested and comply with (and Cots Offers often exceed) all the safety standards set by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association and Consumer Product Safety Commission. This includes ensuring that the slats have a spacing no wider than two and three-eighths of an inch apart so your babe can't get stuck between them. We suggest that you register your crib and pick one that is JPMA certified. This will ensure that you receive a replacement or warning if there is a recall in the future.

Combine this crib with the Hudson Nightstand to keep your baby's essentials in reach. It's constructed from the same sturdy wood but with angular, playful feet and a contemporary design. Additionally, it's GREENGUARD Gold certified, meaning it's screened for 10,000 chemicals and VOCs which pollute indoor air.

4. Babyletto Hudson Convertible Crib

The Hudson crib is a classic mid-century style with flared feet that taper. It's both stylish as well as playful. Like most of our favorite cribs, this one is designed to adapt to the needs of your child and includes an adapter kit that lets you seamlessly transition from midi to toddler bed to a daybed. It also has Greenguard Gold certification for indoor air quality and uses sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine.

In our crib testing, we discovered the Hudson to be a very solid crib, with well-formed corners and a tight spacing between slats (less than 2.4" wide) that will reduce the chance of SIDS, entrapment, or strangulation. The design is simple and can be a perfect match for any nursery decor. The colors are also comparable to the furniture in your room.

Another benefit of this crib is that it is easy to assemble. It scored 9/10 on our crib assembly test, which evaluates the time it takes to lay out and put together the pieces, as well as the clarity as well as the accuracy and clarity of the instructions, and whether the proper hardware was included.

It is essential that the mattress's height of a convertible crib can be adjusted to fit the growth of your baby. This will ensure that they are comfortable and you don't need to purchase an entirely new mattress once they start to sit up. This feature is most commonly found in premium and deluxe cribs, but can be a feature in some basic cribs as well. We suggest you look for a crib with this capability when shopping for a crib, since it will be helpful throughout your baby's entire sleep journey.
