Safety should be the top priority when choosing a crib. Make sure the crib is sturdy and well-built with well-fitting and secure hardware. Also, ensure it complies with the current CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines: Less than 2.375 inches of space between slats (that's about the width of a soda can), no decorative cutout designs on the footboard or headboard, and corner posts that are flush with the end panels or very tall--anything between can pose a strangulation risk.

Also, keep all toys out of the crib as they can be choking or suffocation hazards. If you want to use a baby monitor, choose one with a clear line of sight, so it doesn't block your view.
