Forbes Vetted Names Two Babyletto Cribs Among The Best Of 2026
A crib is more than a nursery essential. It’s where your baby sleeps, grows, and begins their earliest routines. The best cribs balance safety, thoughtful construction, and design that feels intentional in your home.
That’s why we were proud to see Forbes Vetted include two Babyletto favorites in its 2026 roundup, “The 8 Best Cribs That Are Stylish And Trusted By Experienced Parents.” After interviewing pediatricians and parents, the editors highlighted cribs that meet safety standards while delivering lasting style and versatility.
What Makes A Great Crib, According To Forbes Vetted
In the article, Forbes emphasizes that when shopping for a crib, families should look for something “sturdy and stable,” with slats “no more than 2.3 inches apart, as required by federal safety standards.” The editors also ensured that every crib selected meets “Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) safety standards.”
Beyond safety, the list prioritizes versatility and durability, focusing on pieces that grow with your child and hold up over time.
Forbes Vetted On The Babyletto Hudson 3-In-1 Convertible Crib
Named “Best Crib Overall,” the Hudson was described as “visually appealing, well-constructed and versatile.” Forbes highlights its “sleek, modern design” and notes that it “can convert to a toddler bed with a rail and day bed with a fully open side.”
The editors also call out that “many parents also like that the crib is Greenguard Gold certified, so they can rest assured knowing it won’t off-gas harmful substances.”
One featured parent shared, “It looks great in person aesthetically, and it is really well built,” adding that even after four years of use, it remains comfortable and safe in its daybed configuration. She concluded, “I could not recommend it more highly to other parents looking for a stylish and high-quality crib with true lasting power.”
Forbes Vetted On The Babyletto Peggy 3-In-1 Convertible Crib
For families focused on long term flexibility, Forbes selected the Peggy as “Best Convertible Crib.” The editors note that when choosing a convertible crib, “finding one that includes a conversion kit as part of your initial purchase is ideal,” and highlight that the Peggy transforms “from crib to toddler bed to full-size bed—toddler conversion kit included.”
The crib is described as featuring a “chic, natural, mid-century modern look” and being “Greenguard Gold certified.”
Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East shared, “This is our baby’s crib right now and I love it so much,” praising it as “reliable, durable, safe and cute.” Forbes Vetted general manager Cory Baldwin added, “With three kids under 5, I have purchased multiple cribs and dressers from Babyletto over the past five years and have been impressed with the overall quality, durability and design.”
At Babyletto, we believe nursery furniture should feel as considered as the rest of your home while meeting the highest safety standards. We’re honored to see both Hudson and Peggy recognized for the qualities that matter most to modern families: thoughtful design, trusted certifications, and versatility that lasts well beyond the baby years.
