These Baby Cribs Keep Your Little One Safe & Snug While They Sleep
Click here to read the full article.
One of the biggest-ticket items on your baby registry is a crib, aka the only place other than your arms that your little bundle of joy will sleep the most. It’s normal to envision different styles of cribs while you nest. After all, decorating the nursery is an exciting time for new moms (not to mention it’s probably the only chance you’ll get to decorate your child’s entire room to your — and only your — specifications). But it’s not solely about #aesthetic: The best baby cribs are stylish, sure, but they should also meet certain safety criteria.
Like any piece of baby furniture, you want the materials to be void of bacteria and chemicals (especially when they start teething and want to gnaw on literally everything they can sink their emerging teeth into), so you should be looking for cribs with a Greenguard Gold certification. You also want your baby’s crib to meet U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards to make absolutely sure risks of injuries are slim to none.

1. DaVinci Kalani 4-in-1 Convertible Crib
Davinci’s Kalani 4-in-1 Convertible Crib is minimalistic chic. Made from 100 percent sustainable New Zealand wood, the structure was built for babies measuring under 35 inches long in its crib form. Once they grow past that (or learn how to climb in and out of their crib), the Kalani converts into a toddler bed, then a daybed and eventually a full-size bed.
In other words, unlike other baby cribs you’d take down and recycle once your child grows out of it, this piece of furniture can grow with your child as long as you’d like. It’s also Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it’s been screened for bacteria and chemicals, and meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International, as well as U.S. CPSC safety standards.
2. Dream On Me Violet 7-in-1 Convertible Crib
If furniture shopping is your worst nightmare, investing in Dream On Me’s Violet 7-in-1 Convertible Crib now pretty much guarantees you’ll never have buy another bed for your child as long as they’re living under your roof. Available with or without a mattress, the baby crib comes in five colors — black, cherry, espresso, white and natural-wood finish — and is designed with a simplistic elegance that can fit in with any decor.
But what really sets this baby crib apart from the rest is it can be converted into a toddler bed, a day bed, a twin bed (with or without footboard) or a full bed (also with or without footboard) — it’s literally built to last a lifetime. Plus, the crib is phthalate-, latex-, lead- and BPA-free, and meets ASTM and CPSC standards.
3. Union 3-in-1 Convertible Crib
In case you weren’t already aware, children grow up and develop their own personalities and opinions — and there’s always a chance that they’ll want a different bed for their room than the one you started with. That’s why the Union 3-in-1 Convertible Crib is such an excellent option for parents who’d rather not buy the all-in-one crib.
The Union was first and foremost designed for babies, but eventually converts to a toddler bed and daybed. The structure is made with New Zealand wood and features four mattress levels you can adjust as your baby gains mobility and learns to sit and stand.
4. Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 Convertible Crib
If simplicity is the style you’re going for, look no further than Babyletto’s classic baby crib. The three-in-one convertible crib with toddler bed conversion comes in eight colors: white, black, espresso, espresso and white, gray, gray and white, washed natural, and washed natural and white.
Made from sustainable New Zealand pine wood, this rounded spindle crib was designed with a mid-century modern style in mind. It’s Greenguard Gold certified, lead- and phthalate-free, boasts a non-toxic finish, and meets ASTM international and U.S. CPSC safety standards.
