Most Recommended Cribs
A crib is one of the most expensive purchases you make for your nursery. If you're looking for something modern with a minimalist style or a convertible option that can transform into an infant bed or a daybed, there are plenty of options out there.
Before you buy, check for these characteristics:
1. Stokke Sleepi Bed
The crib is the most essential piece of equipment for babies that parents should think about when they are acquiring an infant. It's the place where your child will be sleeping, and it should be functional, beautiful and, most importantly secure and comfortable for your child. Convertible cribs are great because they will evolve with your baby from their very first days until they transition to the big kid bed. This will help with sleep changes and ensure your baby has a comfortable and comfortable sleeping space throughout their early years.
Mini Cot Bed is a unique 4-in-1 crib that grows with your child. It has a beautiful curved design that evokes an womb-like space. The mattress is breathable for maximum air flow and has an easy-to-clean cover that is hypoallergenic.
This crib is also made sustainably and is compliant with all British and European safety standards. It's a bit more expensive than co-sleeper cribs and small cots, but it does have the advantage of advancing with your child until they're five years old, provided you buy the Junior Extension Kit at the same time.
Stokke Sleepi Beds have lockable swivel casters that allow them to move into and out of the room. It also comes with a height-adjustable base with four different mattress levels.
The Stokke Sleepi Bed is also extremely easy to put together and took only 45 minutes for our tester to assemble it by themselves. It also comes with simple instructions that will give you confidence in the durability and quality. The Stokke Sleepi Bed does not come with mattresses. You'll have to purchase a mattress separately.

3. Babyletto Hudson
Babyletto's furniture for nursery combines a playful, modern design with materials that are sustainable and safe. The Hudson is a great choice for anyone who wants to create a sleek and contemporary look at an affordable price. In addition, the crib grows as your baby grows from newborn to toddler, changing into a 3-in-1 convertible crib as well as a daybed and toddler bed with an included conversion kit.
We are thrilled that this crib is made of non-toxic, sustainable wood screened for harmful chemicals and is backed by GREENGUARD GOLD certification. It is also FSC-certified, which means it was sourced from forests managed to achieve economic, environmental and social benefits.
All Babyletto Cribs are rigorously test and meet (and often exceed) the safety standards established by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This includes ensuring that the slats are spaced not more than two and three-eighths of an inch apart so that your baby doesn't get stuck between them. We also recommend that you select a crib that is JPMA-certified and register it immediately to ensure that should there any recalls in the future, you'll be notified of a replacement or warning quickly.
Combine this crib with the Hudson Nightstand to keep your baby's necessities in reach. It's made of the same durable hardwood but has playful angular legs and a contemporary silhouette. Plus, it's GreenGuard Gold certified, meaning it's screened for 10,000 VOCs and chemicals that can pollute indoor air.

4. Babyletto Hudson Convertible Crib
The Hudson crib features timeless mid-century design with flared tapered feet. It is both elegant and playful. Like many of our top cribs, it's designed to grow with your child and includes the ability to transition from midi to toddler bed to a daybed. It also holds Greenguard Gold certification for indoor air quality and is made from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine.
In our crib tests, we found that the Hudson was a very sturdy crib with a well-formed corner as well as an slat area that is tight (less than 2.4") which will lower the risk of SIDS as well as strangulation or entrapment. The design is simple and will complement any nursery decor. The colors are also in line with the furniture in your room.
Another benefit of this crib is that it is simple to put together. It scored 9/10 on our crib assembly test which measures the amount of 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 correct hardware was included.
In a convertible crib, it is important to make sure the mattress's height is adjusted as your baby grows. This will ensure that your baby is in a comfortable position and you don't need to buy a new mattress once they can sit up. This feature is usually found on premium and deluxe cribs, but it is a feature in some basic cribs as well. We recommend looking for a crib that has this capability when shopping for a crib, as it will be useful throughout your baby's entire sleep journey.
