IKEA SNIGLAR crib
By Dana Whitfield · Specifications checked November 5, 2026 · $129.99 at last sync
Our take
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.
Good fit
Buy it if the crib is a two-to-three-year purchase and you would rather spend the difference on the mattress.
Consider an alternative
Skip it if you want drawers, a convertible bed, or documented build specs.

What we don't like
The section most review sites bury. These are the reasons to walk away from SNIGLAR, not caveats to shrug at.
- No drawers and no conversion kit
- Mattress sold separately
- Material thickness and mattress positions not published
- Plain finish — very much a budget look
What it does well
- $129.99 — the cheapest crib in this catalogue
- Standard 27.5 × 52 in mattress
- Beech frame per the listing title
- Light enough for one person to move during assembly
Who it's for
- Budget-first nurseries
- Second homes and grandparents' houses
- Parents who plan to replace it later
Who it's not for
- Anyone wanting storage
- Buyers who want a convertible crib
- Nurseries where the crib is the centrepiece
How it sits against the others
Same rows, same date. The honest gaps are visible here.

What we did not test: we have not pushed, folded, loaded or crash-tested this stroller. Crash and emissions results are manufacturer claims unless a third party is named. Treat the score as a way to compare published specs, not as a safety certification.
Best for: budget-first nurseries
Not ideal for: anyone wanting storage
