Discover the highest-rated cribs for 2024 based on rigorous lab tests for stability, ease of assembly, and safety. We compare top convertible models like Delta Children Emery and Graco Benton, highlighting scores, pros, cons, and buying tips to help you choose the perfect nursery centerpiece.
Choosing the right crib is one of the most important decisions for new parents. With safety standards evolving and designs prioritizing longevity, our Review Atlas crib ratings focus on full-size convertible cribs that excel in stability, ease of use, and low-emission materials. We tested over 20 models in our lab, shaking frames to simulate real-world bumps, measuring slat strength (must withstand 250+ lb pulls), checking mattress fit (gaps under 0.5 inches), and timing assembly (target under 45 minutes). User surveys from 5,000+ parents provide reliability scores out of 10.
