So, with this in mind, what are the considerations to take into account? The safest option is buying a new crib, instead of a hand me down or a second hand crib. This is because over time wear and tear can make the crib less solid and therefore less safe, also you do not know fully the history of a used crib. Used cribs might have been dilapidated at some point and repaired but it is still less structurally sound even if it has been repaired. Also, if the crib was prefabricated before 1974 it would not have had to meet country standards that were introduced at this point, and while they might have a nice retro look and might have been costly when bought, they are not a innocuous choice. After all the ideal baby cribs are safe baby cribs.
So, if you select to buy a new baby crib there are some other things to note. The more simply designed cribs are the best.

The crib should also feel very sturdy and secure if you test the sides or other areas of it.
Another important note is buying your mattress, it is ideal to buy a crib that comes with a mattress that is designed for that specific crib as it is not innocuous to have a mattress that does not fit the crib properly. Also, the less loose fitting blankets and sheets that are used in the crib the better, as there is a risk of the baby being suffocated. Pillows are an item that should not be used for baby’s cribs as they too can pose a risk.
