11 best budget cribs
Budget cribs are a cost-effective option for parents who want a safe and comfortable sleeping space for their babies without spending a fortune. Here are some key considerations when looking for budget cribs:
Safety Standards: Ensure that the crib meets the safety standards set by organizations like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the United States. Look for cribs with strong and sturdy construction, non-toxic finishes, and properly spaced slats to prevent entrapment.
Crib Type: There are different types of cribs available, including standard cribs, convertible cribs, and portable cribs. Standard cribs are stationary and provide a simple sleeping space. Convertible cribs can transform into toddler beds or full-sized beds, providing long-term value. Portable cribs are lightweight and designed for easy transport.
Size and Fit: Ensure that the crib fits comfortably in your nursery or bedroom. Measure the available space and compare it with the crib's dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
Mattress Support: Check the crib's mattress support system. It should be adjustable to different height levels to accommodate your baby as they grow. A lower mattress position is safer for infants to prevent climbing out.
Mattress Quality: Invest in a good-quality crib mattress that fits snugly within the crib. A firm, supportive mattress is crucial for your baby's safety and comfort.
Convertible Options: If you're looking for long-term value, consider convertible cribs that can be transformed into toddler beds or even full-sized beds when your child outgrows the crib.
Portability: Portable cribs are a great choice if you need a crib that can be easily moved around the house or taken on trips.They are typically smaller and lighter than standard cribs.
Easy Assembly: Look for cribs with straightforward assembly instructions to save time and frustration during setup.
Durability and Materials: While budget cribs are cost-effective, try to choose one made from sturdy materials that will withstand daily use.
Reviews and Recommendations: Read customer reviews and seek recommendations from friends or family who have purchased budget cribs. Real-life experiences can provide valuable insights.
Price: Set a budget for your crib purchase and stick to it. There are many budget-friendly options available that meet safety standards.
Remember that safety is the top priority when selecting a crib for your baby. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and use, and regularly inspect the crib for any signs of wear or damage. With proper care and consideration, a budget crib can provide a safe and comfortable sleeping space for your little one.

User questions & answers
Question: | This crib shows wheels on the image, but is called a "stationary" crib. So the question is, does the final product have wheels to move it around ? thank you |
Answer: | Yes |
Question: | Can the wheels be removed |
Answer: | Springs |
Question: | What is the mattress support like for this crib? Is it a flat board or is it on springs |
Answer: | My crib has 3 possible heights for the mattress. The mattress support sits at approximately 14", 19" or 24" from the ground with wheels on 13", 18" or 23" without the wheels. These measurements do not include the thickness of the mattress. It is difficult to measure because the bracket that supports the mattress brings the mattress about 3" lower than the holes that it screws in to. I hope this helps.From the bottom of the leg (no wheel) to the bottom border is 12" |
Question: | What are the 2 mattress position heights? I'm trying to match the height close to the height of my bed to use the crib as an attached side sleeper |
Answer: | It’s a pearl w more of a lavender mixed with baby pink .... the pictures make it look a lot more pink but i absolutely adore its soft pearl matte color |
