The Westport Cot Bed is a minimalist crib that can look stunning in a Scandi-design nursery. It also offers a great amount of flexibility, with three different mattress support heights and the ability to transform into an infant bed.

Cribs can take up a lot space, so bassinets could be a better choice for homes with small cot beds spaces. Many parents prefer a crib sets because of safety concerns.

Safety

The choice of the best baby cots crib for newborns is crucial for your baby's health and wellbeing. You must ensure that it meets the current safety standards, and is free from any dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be sturdy and well-constructed, with no loose parts that could get caught on clothing or present the risk of choking. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly and use and to regularly check the crib for indications of wear or damage.

The first thing to check is the space between the slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to prevent your baby's head or legs from being trapped between them. You should be able to see and reach your baby's crib. If not see, the slats need to be wider and not as close together.

Another aspect of the crib that you should be aware of is the mattress support system. It is important to adjust the heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the chance of your child climbing out of the crib as is a common event as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is secure enough to fit over the bed and a solid and stable structure are additional security features you should be looking for. Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides. Drop sides could be hazardous for your child. It is also recommended to share a room as your baby for the first six months or so, and only move them to their own bedroom once they are old enough to be monitored while sleeping alone.

Finally, you should make sure that the crib is away from radiators and windows, and that any dangling objects such as curtains or blind cords are not within reach. You should also take away any items that could present a choking risk such as blankets or pillows. Be careful when purchasing used cribs, as they may not meet the current safety standards or have been recalled.

Design

While cribs might appear identical, it is crucial to remember that every crib must meet strict safety regulations. This is why the majority of the cribs we reviewed have a similar design to ensure consistency of structural solidity. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could catch or snag babies. We also evaluated and rated each crib based on how easy it was to put together and use. More parts can lead to more confusion, so we suggest selecting a crib with clear instructions that are easy to follow to minimize frustration.

One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which comes with an elegant, contemporary style and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned.

Mattress

Newborns can be messy, and a clean crib mattress is a must. Baby spills and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and dirty that can cause mildew and other bacteria that can be harmful to infants. Find a mattress cover that can be cleaned with a cloth or scrubbed with mild cleaner. You should also pick a mattress cover with a waterproof material to stop fluids from leaking into the mattress and causing health problems.

Choose mattresses that are designed to last 10 years, so it's prepared for toddlers and beyond. Many of the mattresses we've discussed here are reversible with infant and toddler side. This lets you use them from the moment of birth until your child is ready to move on to their own bed.

A mattress that is firm is ideal for infants, since it will provide the most support to their developing spines. A firm sleeping surface reduces the chance of SIDS which is more likely to happen when a baby's head sinks into a mattress that is soft.

Check the label on a firm mattress to ensure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for waterproofing and flammability as well as lead and other chemicals which could pose a risk for infants. There are also certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which show that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that may cause harm to infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

The weight of the mattress is a further factor to consider. Sheet changes at night require that you move and lift the mattress, so if you struggle lifting heavy objects or don't want handle a heavy product then consider getting a lighter crib mattress. Newton Wovenaire, for example, is only 8 pounds, while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress – Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses featured in this review. It's also made of foam, not inner woven-core, making it much easier to move around when compared to the heavier coil mattress.

Assembly

Avoid cribs that have drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these features aren't up to today's safety standards.

When looking for a crib, bear in mind that you'll need to buy a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you decide to purchase a convertible crib).
