Make sure it is in compliance with the current CPSC guidelines. This includes having less than 2.375 inches between the slats, no ornamental cutouts in the headboard or the footboard, and corner posts that are either aligned with the end panels of the crib or very tall. Anything that is in between poses a risk of strangulation.
Keep all toys away from the crib, since they pose the risk of choking or suffocation. If you're considering using a baby monitor, make sure you choose one with a clear line of sight, so it doesn't interfere with your view. Also, make sure that all cords are out of the reach of your baby and securely anchored. Also, do not keep pillows, blankets, or baby cribs with positioners. These can cause suffocation and choking risks and could be thrown away by your child or pushed down by older siblings.
Also, do not use old cribs since they could contain outdated features that can cause injuries. Even if the crib is in excellent condition, it could have slats that are too wide or be missing some hardware. Old cribs may also have lead-based paint or loose, dangerous screws and bolts.
The Stork Craft Evolur is an excellent value, but might be too expensive for those who prefer a minimal look. Other options, such as the Dream On Me Ashton 4 in 1 or the DaVinci Carter's 4-in 1 have a similar look but less bells & whistles.
