Best Mini Crib Available DEALS
Mini cribs are significantly smaller than a standard crib and are much easier to fit into your bedroom and smaller nurseries. They are often on wheels making it very easy to move from room to room if needed.
They also store completely flat making it an easy way to travel or use at a grandparents home. Mini cribs still offer enough space for your little one to comfortably fit until they are ready for a bed around the age of 2 to 3 years old.
In addition to the crib you will also need to purchase the bedding and mattress to fit in a smaller design.

Considerations for the Best Mini Cribs
Before jumping into a purchase it pays to consider and think about a few key things.
Crib Material
What type of material do you want? Wooden or metal? What is the theme of your nursery and will it fit with the decor.
What are the fixtures and are there any ways your little one can hurt themselves. A metal crib is much more long lasting but I personally think wooden ones are a bit more homely.
Crib Design
There are many small, portable options. There are cribs with wheels making it easy to move from room to room. Once you have a better idea of where you want to use your mini crib you can choose the design style. This really is a personal preference.
Safety
In some instances there are reports of heavy metals being present so it pays to check out the safety ratings before selecting a model. You also want to check that there are no exposed parts that could endanger your child – beware of any nuts and bolts that are protruding from the crib.
Mini Crib Safety Certifications
Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA)
JPMA is a national association comprising of 300 companies that are in the manufacturing or importing business of baby products.
Not every baby product is included in this certification although they must meet federal standards in compliance with the law.

ASTM are a global organisation that set standards to improve the quality of products consumers use. In particular children’s products are based on hazard data which provides an insight into how the products are going to be used or misused by the consumer.
Many products such as car seats have mandatory federal standards for safety before they can be sold.
