Bedding

There are plenty of options when it comes to crib bedding. But picking the right one is more than simply choosing a cute design to be in line with your preferences. You need to find one that fits tightly and doesn't bunch up in areas where it could pose a danger of suffocation for your baby. And it has to be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of diaper blowouts and spit-up spills without wearing out too quickly.

Consider buying an adjustable crib if you want to keep your baby in the crib for a long period of time. These beds usually convert to a toddler bed and occasionally to a full-size or daybed as well. Some cribs come with conversion kits, whereas other require a purchase.

A few of our most-loved cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, constructed of solid wood and features one of the taller mattress heights (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a mattress that is low). We also love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets stringent environmental standards for reduced off-gassing.

Mattress

When it concerns crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm that fits comfortably and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you place a sheet over it. The mattress should be the proper size for the crib, and it should stay in place even after your child grows out of it.

It is also important to determine if the mattress contains substances that could harm your child. Find a mattress that is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indication is a CertiPUR-US certificate, which certifies that the foam used in mattresses is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, other heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

A few other aspects to consider are how much the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. It's likely that you'll be dealing with nighttime sheet changes and having a surface that is waterproof or wipeable will help with cleaning.

The most effective mattresses did not sink into the mattress this means they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of their Cot Bed during sleep or suffocate. Some of the mattresses we test had a removable cover that was machine-washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without a set of rails that are fixed. While some cribs for babies offer baby rails along with the crib and others sell them on their own. If you opt to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. They should, for instance be free of loose or missing screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should also be able support the weight of your child without being too flimsy. They should also be able to be secured in a secure way so they can't be taken away by your child.

The crib rails you choose should not only be strong They should also fit snuggly within the frame of the crib. This will keep the mattress from becoming too fragile and could be risky for your child. When you purchase crib rails, make sure to measure the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. Ideally, the space should be no more than three fingers wide.

Also, make sure that the crib rails do not have any decorative cutouts or other adornments. They could pose the risk of suffocation. Avoid placing pillows, blankets, quilts and sheepskins on the crib, as these can contribute to the accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase your baby's risk of SIDS. Consider a crib cover and pad combination to provide a comfortable sleeping mattress for your baby cots on sale. These products consist of a mattress pad with an elongated waterproof lining as well as an adjustable "skirt" that wraps around the mattress in the same way as an oversized sheet.

It is also important to ensure that you have the correct crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion the head of your baby if it hits the crib railings as you feed him or her or cradling them next to the bed. They can also help prevent the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's railings that are fixed.

When your child is no longer in the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in the crib until they're ready to move on to a bigger bed for their child. Sweetpea Baby Cot Bed offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can work with most standard cribs. It is easy to install and meets the CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some crib design features are strictly aesthetic and are subject to personal taste, but others like the design of the slats that are on the crib or whether it can be converted into a toddler bed- can have a significant impact on the ease of use of the crib and its durability. The best cribs are made of solid wood, meet various safety standards and can be easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some cribs have special features that make them more effective. For example, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

Generally, you want to avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs, or other decorations which could get caught on clothes or create a choking risk for children. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that can catch on clothing or other objects.

The best crib sets have easy-to-follow instructions and all necessary components, including hardware. Modern cribs can be assembled in a half-hour or less, and the majority come with all of the tools required.

Look into a convertible crib that can be transformed into a daybed, toddler or full-size mattress. This is a good option for families who intend to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have limited space. You should be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.

It can be difficult to comprehend crib hardware, but it's essential to ensure safety and stability. Most cribs have a system of rectangular block, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten the connections between the crib and supported surface.

Some chocks and shims are constructed from soft woods that break slowly, which can provide warnings that sound before they fail as more robust wood materials may break suddenly and with more force. Plastic shims and chocks are also available, which are easier to install because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
