You're going to be a new parent and are starting to make purchases for your little one. The first major purchase you will make is a baby crib. An infant spends more than 1600 hours sleeping during the fist year alone. Most of that time will be spent in the new crib. When choosing a crib look at baby crib reviews to determine the best crib for your situation.
Quality
Baby cribs are available in almost any price point from about $100 and up. The lower priced cribs typically are not made as well as those with higher price tags. They may not be as sturdy either. However, it isn't necessary to purchase the highest price crib either. Think about your budget when considering the purchase.
Start by looking at cribs that fall within a certain range of prices. Higher quality cribs are made of solid woods or high-grade materials that are meant to last a long time. The upper end cribs are typically heirloom quality. If you plan to have several children who will use the crib you may want to opt for at least a middle-grade crib to ensure that it will stay sturdy for some years.
Features
Features are an important factor when looking at baby crib reviews. To start with consider whether you need to have one or both sides of the crib drop down for easy access. If the crib is to be placed next to a wall there is the need for only one drop side, whereas if the crib is placed in the middle of the room the crib may be able to be accessed from either side.
Mattress height can be adjusted on almost any baby crib. Make sure that the crib has several positions and that they are made to lock in place securely. The drop sides should have similar adjustments available as well. Be sure that you can make the proper adjustments and that the sides do not easily push down. The mattress must fit snugly into the crib.
Some cribs come with rolling castors attached. These provide the ability to easily move the crib as needed. Check to make sure that they can lock in place so that the crib cannot be moved easily. A teething rail is sometimes provided and is attached to the top of the rails.
Convertible baby cribs are a popular choice. These are cribs that can easily convert to a toddler bed, daybed or full size bed as the child grows. This makes the transition easy as the child gets bigger as well as saves you money. Most convertible cribs require the purchase of an additional optional hardware kit to make the transition possible. Toddler beds and daybeds often use the same crib mattress. When converting to a full-size bed the sides or ends are transitioned to the headboard and footboard and a new bed frame and mattress are required.
Safety
Many safety guidelines are in place for baby cribs. The safety standards have been in effect since 1973 with occasional updates. New cribs all conform to these standards and should contain a sticker which tells you that it does indeed conform to safety standards.
Many baby products have been recalled through the years due to safety concerns. Always check with the store or manufacturer to ensure that the crib you choose has not been part of a recall. If a crib is recalled there is often a retrofit kit available to make the crib safe again.

Special Heirloom: Baby Bassinets
When women fantasize about beginning their families, they often have the image of tucking their angelic newborn into a beautiful bassinet. Baby bassinets are always a very elegant, classy alternative to a crib, and are often priceless family heirlooms, handed down from generation to generation. However, there is no need for parents to be to fret if there is no vintage wicker baby bassinet in their family tree. Bassinets can be purchased in every design imaginable, from old fashioned, delicate lace to modern plastic. The choices are endless, and making the right decision is very important if the parents are looking to create an heirloom.
Bassinets are often considered a luxury item, since an infant usually only uses one for the first few months. They serve the same purpose as a crib, but are usually much more stylish. Classic elegance is the theme of most bassinets, and often they are made of a wicker base. No matter which type of bassinet a new parent is looking for, there are some important qualities that parents need to be aware of. Most importantly, the bassinet needs to have a wide, sturdy base. It should not be wobbly or fragile. This is especially important to check for in old bassinets, as years of use can weaken the joints of the base. If there are other small children, or pets in the household, a bassinet should be used with extreme caution, since they tend to tip more easily then a crib. The mattress should be relatively firm, and fit snuggly inside the bassinet. If more than two fingers can fit between the bassinet mattress and the bassinet, the mattress is too small. The hood of the bassinet should be retractable for most convenience; however, this is often not the case on an antique baby bassinet.
Many companies make bassinets, in a variety of prices, from affordable to indulgent. Baby Doll is a company famous for their gorgeous bassinets. They offer a variety of models, each more regal than the last. The trademark of Baby Doll bassinets are the intricate lace designs covering the entire bassinet. While baby bassinets are typically white, Baby Doll offers a variety of beautiful pastel colors, and not just pink and blue! One of their most popular models is the Princess Diana Bassinet. It is made of Oak wood, and has large, sturdy wheels on the bottom for added convenience. The bed of the bassinet is the highest quality, and the outside is breathtakingly beautiful, with white lace all around. It is truly a bassinet fit for royalty.
Not all bassinets are expensive. It is easy to find economy models made by a variety of brands. Cheap baby bassinets, however, often lack the grace and beauty of the more expensive models. They are geared more towards function then beauty.
Since a bassinet is only used for a short period of time, it can easily be stowed away in pristine condition, awaiting the next child to use it. It is one of the first pieces of furniture a baby can use, so a bassinet is something that can and will always hold a special place in the parents heart. A bassinet can be used by generations of babies, becoming the most special of hand me downs.
