For many people, few things are as satisfying as coming home to a family. And family has always been one of your soft spots and if you believe that the time is right to start one, begin by selecting the modern baby crib among the many other baby furniture, accessories, and other child-care products.

What are modern baby cribs?

After 1974, new laws have been passed to create product safety standards for baby cribs, the result of an alarmingly large rate of baby injuries and even deaths incurred while inside the baby crib. Accidents ranging from minor bruises from falling into sharp protrusions within the crib to finger cuts from sharp latches, and sometimes even death from suffocation in a faulty mattress, all form the long list of crib related baby injuries in the 1970s, leading to the baby crib laws.

Why would you buy one?

The modern baby cribs which conform to the safety regulation imposed by the CPSC are always the best choice for parents. Among the many blunders committed by past baby crib manufacturers include the use of lead paint. Slats wider than approximately 2 ½ inches can also lead to accidents, as well mattresses which do not fit the exact dimensions of the crib’s interior, which could lead to the baby strangling on the loose edges of the corner. Insufficient support has also led to collapsed cribs and bruised babies. With a CPSC-approved crib, you know that your child is getting not only comfort, but quality as well.

The various features

Among the many safety features a modern baby crib has is the standardized vertical slats placed no more than approximately 2 ½ inches from each other, as well as end-posts that are less than 1/16 of an inch in height to make sure that young children’s clothes will not get caught, leading to strangulation. Lead-free paints are also used in modern baby cribs. Caster wheels are also available for you to move the crib around.

Check out the Modern Nursery for a collection of many baby-care products ranging from bassinets to bedding, as well as a wide selection of beautifully crafted and sturdy modern baby cribs to meet the high demands on product quality that only the most discriminating, and child-concerned, parent can bring out.

How to choose one

Look for baby cribs that come with manufacturer warranty, a safety manual, as well as tags indicating the safety specifications of the baby crib as well as the date of manufacture. This will help you track down the product and verify the safety features your child needs.

How much are they?

Most modern cribs, such as Baby Miro’s Mercer Modern Crib sell for $400. However, the prices that come with product quality can also vary greatly, from around $360 for a good modern crib from Dwell Studio, to as much as $1,240 for a modern crib from Newport Cottages.
