Finding the right crib depends on your budget and whether you prefer to shop in-store or online. While all cribs sold in the U.S. must meet the same federal safety standards, retailers differ in their selection of "Greenguard Gold" certified models, which are tested for over 10,000 chemicals to ensure better indoor air quality.
