It is important to stay clear of putting anything in your baby's crib that could cause injury or harm, including pillows, blankets, sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more details).

They may also be taken up by the mattress.

The best rated cribs cribs for infants are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also meet strict federal, state and local requirements for structural safety.

They're also designed to be tough and reversible, which means they can grow along with your child.

Also, don't purchase or buy a secondhand crib that has an incline side rail, which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to security reasons.

Style

There are a variety of design differences between cribs, despite the fact that all must be safe to use standards. Some are just cosmetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others could make it difficult to clean and use the crib. Certain features such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib is meant solely for sleep for infants, so it's not an area to store toys or clothes. You can also put a crib in your registry to seek assistance from family and friends when you need one.

Cribs come in a variety of sizes and shapes however, the ones we prefer have a mix of style and functionality. For instance the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and looks sharp. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified, which is essential for any product that is free of toxics and can be converted into a toddler bed as well as a daybed (toddler conversion kit available separately).

Some cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1.
