Our editors have researched and tested sustainable and safe furniture brands for years. These are our favorite solid-wood, nontoxic baby cribs, vetted by the parents on our team for safety, durability, and style.
As any parent or caregiver knows, babies sleep…a lot, and it’s a good thing because you’ll need your rest, too!! 👶💤 It’s vital to ensure your little one has a safe crib to rest, grow, and develop in. Sadly, nearly all traditional cribs contain flame retardants that release VCOs into the air. This off-gassing harms the human endocrine, immune, reproductive, and nervous systems and can linger for months.
Why choose a GREENGAURD GOLD baby crib?
When choosing a crib for your little one, consider the materials around them, since babies spend so much time in their cribs. A nontoxic baby crib offers peace of mind by reducing your child’s exposure to harmful chemicals commonly found in some furniture, such as formaldehyde and flame retardants. These substances can release fumes that may affect your baby’s health over time.
A nontoxic crib is typically made from safer, more natural materials like solid wood and non-toxic finishes (think brands with GREENGAURD GOLD and ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certs). These cribs are also crafted from sustainable materials and built to convert over time, so you can use them beyond the infant years.
Our criteria:
The mothers on our team have filled our homes with safe, sustainable baby furniture for years. We’ve selected our favorite wooden baby cribs that are sustainable, safe, and made to last. We regularly add new options to this list when they meet the following criteria.

We’ve noted the relevant certifications that back them up. You’ll find options here that are FSC-certified, Climate Neutral, and registered B Corps, and that’s just the start.
- QUALITY MATERIALS | The options on this list use natural, organic, and high-quality materials, including solid wood. This means they’re naturally durable and will age beautifully.

Our Editor’s Review | “I chose Nestig’s 3-in-1 Wave Crib for my second daughter’s nursery because I wanted a clean, safe crib that would grow with my daughter. In eight months, we’ve already moved from the mini crib, which we used when she was a newborn, to the full crib. Eventually, she’ll move into the toddler bed configuration (*wipes tears). I adore the design inspired by the ocean and its shifting tides, which perfectly symbolizes the journey of parenting.” – Courtney Jay Higgins, Contributing Editor [Read our full review.]

Our Editor’s Review | “First, we loved the clean, modern lines — simple and timeless, but still warm and inviting. The walnut finish felt like the perfect choice for our space, grounding the room with a natural, cozy tone. Beyond aesthetics, though, we were drawn to the adjustable mattress height, which makes it easier to reach a newborn in those early months and can be lowered as she grows and begins to pull up. And knowing that the crib can transition to a toddler bed down the road made it feel like a long-term investment in her comfort and safety.” – Kayti Christian, Senior Content Strategist [Read our full review.]
