Select a Baby Crib or Toddler Bed

Select a Baby Crib or Toddler Bed

Your baby will spend a great deal of time in her nursery during the first few years, so choose a baby crib or toddler bed carefully. You’ll find cribs in different styles, made from a variety of materials, and offered in a huge selection of colors and finishes.

Baby cribs

Consider the following options to determine which crib, or combination of cribs, will best meet your family’s needs over time.

• Baby bassinets: Enjoy the convenience of a bassinet (or Moses basket), which you’ll move from place to place for the first three or four months of your baby’s life. Most bassinets feature a hood and an oval sleep area.

• Baby cradles: Rock your baby to sleep by placing a cradle (a small bed) near your bed for the first few months.

• Canopy cribs: Make a fashion statement in your nursery with a canopy crib equipped with posts and a frame for securing a fabric canopy.

• Co-sleeper cribs: Co-sleepers function as an extension to a traditional bed, giving the baby his own safe space while enabling parents to easily comfort or feed baby during the night.

• Convertible cribs: Save some money in the long run by getting a convertible crib, which will convert to a toddler bed, and possibly also into a twin bed later, for use throughout childhood.

• Portable cribs: Add a foldable portable crib (or porta crib) to your nursery list to make traveling with your baby easier.

• Standard Cribs: Standard cribs may have one or two drop sides for placing baby inside. Get double drop sides for more versatility. The release mechanism for the drop sides may be metal rods, trigger releases, or knee releases.

Whether you get a standard or convertible crib for your nursery, you’ll also need to equip the crib with a standard 52 x 27-inch mattress. Many options are available, including both foam mattress and innerspring mattress. For maximum safety, however, be sure to select a firm mattress.

Toddler beds

Transition your child from the crib to a bed with a toddler bed. Toddler beds are set lower to the ground, use a standard size crib mattress, and can be found in fun styles including princess beds, fire truck beds, and the ever popular race car bed.

• Baby furniture sets: Achieve the look of a coordinated nursery with a furniture set (often listed as combos or combinations), which offer similarly designed changing tables, dressers, and other pieces.

Crib bedding

Shop eBay for thematic baby bedding sets—such as Winnie the Pooh, princess, sports, and many more—or decorate according to your taste. Crib bedding fits most standard size cribs, canopy cribs, convertible cribs, and toddler beds.

• Crib sheets: Fitted crib sheets should fit snugly around the mattress of the crib to keep baby safe.

• Crib bumpers: Padded bumpers tie onto the corners or the crib, cradle, porta crib, or bassinet and should cover the entire inside perimeter of the crib.

• Baby quilts, comforters, duvets: Use a quilt, comforter, or duvet as a baby play mat. Soft quilts and comforters should not be placed in the crib. Use a blanket instead for sleep time.

• Cribskirts, dust ruffles: Add a finishing touch to your nursery with a cribskirt or dust ruffle.

To get coordinated nursery bedding pieces, look for collections or crib bedding sets designed for a crib, portable crib, or cradle. Sets typically include a baby quilt, comforter, or duvet, bumpers, fitted crib sheet, and a dust ruffle or crib skirt, depending on the intended use.

Decorative accessories

Shop eBay for a wide variety of other decorative accessories to complete your nursery.

• Mobiles: Attach a mobile to your crib to soothe your baby. Be sure to remove the mobile once your baby can push up on her hands and knees, however, to keep her safe.

• Diaper stackers: Get a diaper stacker to store diapers in style and keep them within easy reach.

• Window treatments: From valances to sheers, you can find window treatments to match just about any nursery theme.

• Picture frames: Display family photos and baby’s first memories with decorative picture frames.

• Hampers: Fun and functional, baby clothes hampers can also be found to match almost any décor.

• Lamps and shades: Find lamps and shades to create a well-lit nursery. Select a nightlight for late-night feedings and to help keep baby feeling secure.

• Nursery mats and rugs: Nursery mats and rugs can add warmth and whimsy to the nursery while providing a soft spot for baby to play.

• Wall décor: From signs, unique art, and personalized items to shelving and wallpaper borders, you can find wall decor of all varieties to spark the imagination.

Before making your purchase, make sure you know exactly what you're buying, research your seller, and understand how eBay and PayPal protect you.

Baby product safety

Do your research to ensure baby product safety.

• When you have your sights set on a specific baby product, it’s a good idea to make sure the product has not been recalled. You can either check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission by visiting the Baby portal and clicking on the link in the right-hand column or go directly to the manufacturer's Web site for product information.

• The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) also tests and certifies many baby products. If the JPMA seal is on the item, you can be sure it has passed stability and safety tests.

Know your purchase

Carefully read the details in item listings.

• Figure delivery costs into your final price. If you spend a lot of money, make sure the seller will insure the item when it ships.

• If you want more information, ask by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link under the seller's profile.

• Always make sure to complete your transaction on eBay (with a bid, Buy It Now, or Best Offer). Transactions conducted outside of eBay are not covered by eBay protection programs.
