The Newton Baby Galileo Convertible Crib is part of the Cribs test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests,Cribs are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.
Our Safety tests ensure that each crib meets federal safety guidelines. Among other tests, we assess the configuration and dimensions of the crib, the hardware and fasteners, and the integrity of the mattress support.
Construction takes into account the materials used in the crib, the mattress support type and how it's attached to the frame, design choices that don't work well, and sample defects such as, among other things, inconsistencies in the finish.
Ease of Assembly takes into account the number of parts, the number of steps and the number of actions in each step when assembling the crib. We also assess how clear the instructions are.
Changing Mattress Height takes into account the number of steps involved in changing from one mattress height to another, whether part of the crib additional hardware must be removed in order to change the height, and whether or not it's feasible for one person to complete the task.
