As such, the Sniglar doesn’t have Greenguard Gold Certification, because, like most of the unfinished hardwood cribs I’ve recommended, there’s little risk of anything toxic lurking in the solid wood components.
Thankfully, Ikea responded well to customer concerns and now make the entire crib with unfinished beechwood – no nasty toxic finishes or stains. The Sniglar used to be made with a combination of beechwood and a pesky MDF mattress base. That way, you can put your savings towards a fancy car seat, stroller, or really nice organic cotton bedding and a non-toxic crib mattress. If you’re considering a more expensive crib because it feels like a crib this cheap couldn’t be safe, my advice would be to follow the lead of thousands of parents before you and get the Sniglar.
