10 Best Non Toxic Cribs: Expert-Approved Quality & Safety

Customer Review: “Easy to put together and looks exactly how we wanted it. Very sturdy material but the wood is kind of soft if something hits it, it does leave small marks.”

Customer Review: “I love this crib we’re going on 4 months and it’s holding up great. I love the size of it literally fits at the feet of a twin bed for when I’m putting my toddler and my baby to sleep. I bought an extra mattress in the pictures the one it comes with looks really small, but it actually isn’t. I kept both and just stacked them to raise it a bit without actually raising the crib. The mattress it comes with is the one on the bottom. My baby sleeps through the night very comfortable. Get it you won’t regret it perfect item for the price. I can really see a kiddo using this for 2 years.”

Customer Review: “We got this because our 21 month old grandson was visiting and he had outgrown the Pack N Play he slept in before. The instructions said it would take about 25 minutes to put together. And after having done it once, I can see how you could definitely do it the SECOND time in 25 minutes. But the FIRST time, unless you’re a genius at putting things together, allow a lot more than that.The instructions are not clear. It’s better to look up videos on YouTube. You’ll save yourself some time and effort. However, it does not require any tools, which is nice. Everything snaps together, but firmly with those metal spring loaded rods and holes.Once it was assembled, the crib felt very secure and strong. I felt safe having my grandson sleep in it. We did have trouble with the top padding. It was hard to get on, as it was very tight, and once it’s on, you’re supposed to zip it to the outer cover of the crib. We tried and tried and finally gave up and left it unzipped. It was just too tight. Maybe we did it wrong. But it didn’t interfere with the use of the crib.I’m very glad we chose this one and it worked out very well for us. To be perfectly honest, though, it’s still sitting in our guest room long after our grandson has left. We just are not looking forward to taking it apart. It took so long to assemble, and I’m afraid those metal rods and holes are not going to be fun to undo. But who knows? It might not be too bad. When I work up the courage to try, I’ll update this review and let you know how it goes.But it is a very good crib.”

Customer Review: “Purchased for regular visits from my one year old grandchild (an active sleeper) who was waking herself up in her Graco pack n play.Assembly was simple once I got the over-all idea. The one complexity was that the fabric parts seemed very hard to meet easily into the zippers and Velcro around the skirted corners. However, I found the zippers non-essential for my purposes because the fabric was so tight, no child could pull it off the frame. On the other hand, it feels light and easy to move to adjust locations in the same room, which is what I do need.It looks great and is sturdy. I haven’t traveled with it yet. Might be heavy to transport as the frame is such good quality. Crib mattress fits perfectly, no safety concerns.A preference would be for more padding to the tops of the guard rails, however it’s a minor issue, as the rail is completely protected.I am 5’8” tall and I have no issues bending over the side of the crib to lay her down without disturbing her. She always sleeps well here, which was my goal, so I think this will serve our needs for as long as it’s needed!I highly recommend this product.”

Customer Review: “I was looking for a non toxic mattress for our newborn but finding one for a mini crib and one that’s affordable is challenging. this one felt too firm at first and I almost returned but gave it a chance because it’s so clean. I love the materials it’s made of and baby loves it! I recommend giving it a chance even if it feels firm. it has no smell, fits perfectly in our davinci mini crib, and baby sleeps well in it!”

Customer Review: “It’s not very flat so the side slope down – therefore baby slopes down to the sides of the crib getting arms and legs in the slats – even after placing heavy objects on it and having it for months still the same”

Customer Review: “I love this crib because it was literally the only one that did what we needed it to do, which in our case was have soft sides and fit a full-sized mattress. The mesh sides keep my baby from wrapping his legs all around the wooden slats, as well as from falling over as he likes to do and banging his head on the wood. Using a full sized regular crib mattress obviously allows for more comfort and a bigger space. Set up was honestly a breeze for me and probably took all of ten minutes, and no tools.In case you’re wondering:- the mesh does stretch a little bit so it may create a small pocket to try and stick your face into. The crib is JPMA certified for safety, and our baby slept in a bassinet when he was smaller, so I am okay with it for those reasons. The walls are stretchier than solid wood, but much more taut than our mesh play yard.- Is this thing portable? Yes and no. It fits into a duffel bag. If you’re in between babies and need to store it, you might lose it in your closet. If you want to transport it, you don’t need a u-haul. Heck, you could hop on the bus with this thing without getting so much as a second glance from anyone. With that being said, would I want to travel with this? Probably not. It’s lighter than most regular cribs, but heavier than tons of travel cribs. It’s also more annoying than other travel cribs to put together. Set up was easy, but not I-wanna-do-this-every-night easy. Most importantly, the biggest advantage of this thing over other mesh cribs is that it fits a full-sized crib mattress, and those are usually not very portable at all. The crib does come with a thinner mattress pad that conveniently folds into the duffel bag as well, but I doubt it’s much better than other travel cribs out there. My advice would be: if you want to bring your child’s actual full sized crib somewhere with you for whatever reason, this is the crib to do it with. If, however, you’re looking for an easy-to-set-up crib to travel around with, I would look into bigger play yards as an alternative.- The crib sits up off the floor, which I like, so the baby is not on the floor directly, but it does only have the lowest mattress height setting, so you have to bend down pretty low to pick up and put down LO.- The crib is not easy to climb out of. Depending on your child, they may or may not get out, but the mesh gives way more than wood, and climbing out is a challenge.- The top and bottom parts are metal. That makes the crib extra sturdy, although the carcass is pretty hard. In our case though, the walls are high enough where my baby does not chew it or hit his head on it.- As every other reviewer said, instructions are there, they’re inside a dedicated crib pouch.Overall, it’s been a great crib for us, and I would recommend it.”

Customer Review: “Absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the Baby Delight Horizon Full Size Mesh Crib! As a new parent, finding the perfect crib was a top priority, and this one ticks all the boxes. What impressed me most was the safety-focused design. The mesh walls are a game changer – they not only provide fantastic airflow, ensuring my baby sleeps soundly, but also give me peace of mind knowing there’s no risk of tiny limbs getting stuck.The sturdy metal frame is another standout feature. It’s robust yet doesn’t compromise on aesthetics, fitting beautifully into our nursery space. I was also pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up. I’m no DIY expert, but the tool-free assembly was straightforward and hassle-free, almost like setting up a playard.What’s more, the crib’s portability is a major plus. It folds compactly and slips into the included storage bag, making it perfect for travel or when we need extra space. And although it didn’t come with a mattress, it fits a full-size one, which was exactly what I wanted.All in all, this crib is a standout product – well-designed, safe, stylish, and practical. A solid 5 stars from this happy parent!”

Customer Review: “The product As promised the breathability is good the outer cover is washableMattress is comfortable enough for sound sleepI have noticed reduced night wakings in my childMy daughter really likes the sea creatures designed on the mattress coverShe is really fond of it whenever i take the sheets offOverall nice good purchase i would say”

Customer Review: “Beautiful mattress. It took 48 hours to open and release fully but when it did it is so comfortable. It fits the bed perfectly. Great for my baby. He sleeps peacefully now with no waking up in the night.”

Customer Review: “This mattress cover was exactly what I was looking for! The bamboo surface is quite soft (and anti-microbial!), and the non-toxic waterproof backing isn’t crinkly or loud. Of course the elastic gussets on the side are not waterproof, but that is fine with me. They are deep enough and fit snugly around the sides of the mattress to prevent and slipping or movement of the pad. I washed it on a gentle cycle, and then dried it on an ultra-low setting in my dryer. The manufacturer’s recommendation is air dry, but it held up fine on the very low heat setting on my dryer. I will probably order an extra one of these pads to have on hand. Incidentally, it has really cute packaging, so it would make a great baby shower gift. I find it very worth the price, as the non-toxic, waterproof material and the bamboo top are hard to find in other covers, and are important features in my mind.”

Customer Review: “Will be purchasing this again. Main driver was that it’s made in USA. The quality is superb. It’s comfortable, soft, quiet (not crinkly, like some mattress protectors can be), easy to care for/wash and the perfect fit on the crib mattress.”

Customer Review: “This crib mattress fits very well into our toddler’s crib convertible. The mattress is very comfortable and worth the money paid. Once she grows out of the crib, we plan to use this mattress in her toddler bed. We love it so much. The quality of the mattress is wonderful, and after opening, there were no harsh odors. I would recommend this mattress to my mom friends.”

Customer Review: “Just purchased and put together this crib for our upcoming baby, so I’m not able to review its longevity. I’m all about the rest of it, though!This crib is lovely! I purchased it in white to match my current antique bedframe and dresser that I refinished in an arctic white enamel. It’s a perfect match, and even goes well with the rest of the bedroom furniture stylistically.I put this crib together alone, at 6mo pregnant, in a space only about a foot larger than the completed crib. It took about an hour, and went together easily with the included allen wrench and a pair of pliers.I purchased the Dream On Me 2 in 1 3″ thick mini crib/playyard mattress to go with the crib. It fits PERFECTLY – I actually have to push down on it to get it into place.I think that the biggest complaints about the mattresses not fitting are probably due to issues in construction. When you’re putting the metal brackets on the wooden mattress platform, don’t tighten them completely down until you have the mattress support in place and the front panel on the crib; then square everything up and tighten all of the bolts on all of the parts at once. This may also have caused the complaints from some people saying that they had to drill additional holes – I didn’t have one of the legs quite loose enough when I initially went to put the front panel on, and it looked like it wasn’t going to line up correctly with the pre-drilled hole. Once I loosened things up a bit more, though, I was able to get everything threaded correctly, then tighten everything without issues. It was definitely difficult to tighten the bolts on the wall facing side of the back legs once the whole crib was put together when I was trying to wiggle my pregnant bump between the crib and the wall, but I managed! And this way I have a crib that fits together perfectly, fits the mattress snugly, and is incredibly sturdy.My only real complaint would be that I lost hold of the mattress support board at one point while trying to balance it in to attach it, and the metal supports rubbed against the insides of the legs, leaving scratches because the wood/finish is very soft. This would have been avoided if I’d had help in putting it together (but I was too impatient to wait for my partner to get home from work!), but it definitely let me know that I’m going to want to protect the top rails somehow once this little girl starts pulling up and teething, because little teeth will definitely do a number on the softer wood.*****Update:We’ve been using this crib for four months now, and I’m still every bit as pleased! We moved the week before the baby was born, so thur crib had to be taken mostly apart and put back together at the new place, but this gave me an option to tighten everything again before putting a baby in it. She sleeps super comfortably each night, and it’s still sturdy and solid after 4 months of use! My girl is above the 90th for height, but still has plenty of room to grow.So: super cute crib, perfect for limited space, and still fantastic after months of use!”

Customer Review: “I love this crib. It is compact, very stylish and sturdy so far. The assembly instructions are printed literally ON THE BED (the bottom of the bed) so you won’t misplace them. I did put some of the wooden pegs in the wrong spot and didn’t realize until the end, so I had to take it apart and start over, so it might be best to have a second set of hands and eyes if you are challenged with assembling things. I would definitely purchase the exact same thing all over again. Purchase a thicker mattress; the included one is quite thin but would work short term.”

Customer Review: “I purchased the Graco Benton 5-in-1 Convertible Crib in Driftwood for our nursery, and I’m extremely happy with the quality, appearance, and long-term value. It looks beautiful in person and feels very sturdy and safe.”

Customer Review: “this was simple to put together. we use it butted up at our bedside without the front panel for our 3 year old. paint does chip pretty easily tho”
