There are also larger cribs which come with fancy designs, expensive woodwork, and moldings.

Things to keep in mind while buying a baby crib

Some parents get their cribs custom-made and some make them themselves. However, crib safety is an important aspect to be explored when buying a crib and there are certain things that you must keep in mind while buying a crib for your new born.

Some cribs have collapsible locking mechanisms.

These should be checked thoroughly for safety and durability. You have many different varieties of cribs like the traditional sleigh cribs, rounded cribs, and the rocking cribs which are usually family heirlooms. All of these should be checked for sturdiness. The cribs should also be certified by an accreditation organization and should be designed to safeguard the baby from any potential injuries.

The crib bedding also comes in various materials and finishes. The material and finish should be checked before you buy it. The bedding and sheets should be made of cotton or other natural and soft fibers because synthetic fibers can cause rashes and allergies. Similarly, the finishing should be well done because sometimes improper finish can be toxic. To increase the safety of your baby inside the crib, you can install crib tents which can be fastened on all four corners of the crib. This will prevent your baby from falling out of the crib.
