The picks

One role per product. Where a brand publishes nothing, the card says so — that gap costs it points on purpose.

Best Overall
IKEAStandard crib

Standard crib

IKEA SUNDVIK crib

The crib most parents end up looking at first: a standard 27.5 × 52 inch footprint, white finish, $299.99. IKEA's listing confirms the mattress size and the type but does not publish the material, the mattress position count or an age range, so those rows are blank here rather than guessed. It takes a standard crib mattress, which matters more than any other spec because a badly fitting mattress is the actual safety risk.

IKEA GULLIVER crib

The middle of IKEA's crib range at $249, sitting between the $129.99 SNIGLAR and the $299.99 SUNDVIK. Same standard mattress size, and it is the one IKEA lists in a colour other than white — green, which is why it is here rather than another white box. The same caveat applies to every IKEA crib in this catalogue: the listing confirms size and price, and stops there.

IKEA GONATT crib with drawer

A standard crib with a drawer built into the base — the feature that decides it in a small apartment, where a separate dresser costs $200 and takes floor space the room does not have. $399, still 27.5 × 52 inches, and IKEA does not publish drawer capacity, material or mattress positions on the listing. Compare it with a $249 GULLIVER plus a cheap dresser and the maths is closer than the price suggests.

IKEA SNIGLAR crib

At $129.99 the SNIGLAR is less than half the price of the SUNDVIK and still takes the standard 27.5 × 52 inch mattress. Beech frame, open slat design, no drawers. What you give up is documented detail: IKEA's listing does not publish material thickness, mattress height positions or an age range, so this is a recommendation based on size and price, not on build quality we have verified.
