Cribs: baby cribs, cradles and bassinets

A crib is an essential item for any nursery but choosing the right crib for your nursery can be difficult. Cribs come in a huge range of styles and shapes from the regular rectangular shape through to round and even corner shapes. Your baby crib will be one of the most expensive items in your baby’s nursery and will need to last until your baby is ready for a real bed so it is important to choose the right baby crib for you.

Safety is always a big concern with baby cribs. You don’t want your baby’s head or arms to get stuck in the slats nor do you want your baby falling out. Cribs sold in the US today must meet certain safety guidelines so beware if you are purchasing a second-hand crib as it may not meet these standards.

The crib you purchase will be determined by the size and layout of your nursery. The most traditional style of crib is the rectangular shape, however, now that you also have the choice of purchasing corner and round cribs you can be more selective in your choice. Corner cribs are particularly suited to a room with limited space or for multiple births. Two or more corner cribs placed together or in separate corners of the room save space and are easy to access. Round cribs make a nice change and have the safety advantage of no corners as well as increased visibility of your baby.
