A crib is likely to be one of the most expensive purchases you make for your nursery. If you're looking for something modern with a minimalist design, or a convertible option that can be converted into a toddler bed or daybed There are plenty of options there.

Before you buy, check for these features:

The crib is the most important piece of equipment for babies that parents should think about when purchasing the first baby. It's the place where your child will sleep, and it must be attractive, functional and, above all else secure and comfortable for your child. Convertible cribs are ideal because they grow with your baby from the earliest years until the time they move to the big kid bed. This will aid in sleeping changes and will ensure that your baby has a comfortable and comfortable sleeping space throughout their entire childhood.

All Babyletto cribs are rigorously tested and comply with (and often exceed) all safety standards set by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association and Consumer Product Safety Commission. This includes making sure that the slats are not more than two and three-eighths of an inch apart so that your child doesn't get stuck between them. We recommend that you register your crib and choose one that is JPMA certified. This will ensure that you get an exchange or a warning if there are any recalls in the future.
