Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best crib sets come with everything you require for your baby to sleep soundly from day one. They're machine washable, pre-shrunk and designed to be able to sit tightly around the mattress without bunching--a significant safety risk for cot bed Sales babies.

One tester for parents said she used hers through two babies and passed it to a relative which makes it a wise purchase. Its sleek design makes it a great option for smaller nursery designs.

Bedding

There are a lot of options when it comes to bedding for your crib. It's not just about choosing a pattern that matches your style. You also want to ensure that the bedding is tightly fitted and doesn't get tangled in places that could be a choking hazard for your child. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand diaper blowouts, spit up and other messes for a long time without fading.

One of our favorite sets is this set from Avocado that includes two sheets that are made with 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and MADE SAFE-certified. It's an independent third-party certification that guarantees Avocado's products meet stringent standards for quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk to ensure that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit a standard crib (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable to clean the inevitable mess your little bundle of joy is sure to create.

A crib mattress pad is another ideal option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and shields the mattress from spills and staining. Choose a mattress cover that is less than 1 inch thick to let your child breathe. Avoid things that are too soft or includes long bows, ribbons and other adornments that can become detached and pose the risk of strangulation.

If you plan to keep your baby in the crib for a considerable amount of time, think about buying a convertible crib. These mini cot beds can be converted into a toddler bed, or even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs come with the necessary conversion kits however, others require a separate purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our favorites. It's made of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who worry about reaching an unattractive mattress). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets stringent environmental standards to prevent off-gassing.

Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and sizing are important. The AAP recommends using a firm mattress that is comfortable and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should also be of the right size for the crib, and it should stay in place, even after your baby gets out of it.

You'll also want to check whether the mattress has chemicals that may harm your child. Find mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a good indicator. It confirms that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

A few other aspects to consider are how much the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. A surface that is waterproof or wipeable is ideal for cleaning, since you'll have to change sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we tested, weighing around 20 lbs. This could be a major issue for certain parents.

Another aspect to be aware of is whether the mattress is dual-sided. Some include a firm side for infants and the soft toddler side. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress when your child reaches the height of their normal growth. This is typically around 12 months.

When testing crib mattresses, we measured them and observed how they folded and moved to dress the sides with sheets. We also put an 8-pound tin, slightly heavier than a newborn on each one to see how much it recoiled. The best ones did not sink in, which means that they provide enough support to prevent your child from falling out of their bed during sleep or drowning. A few of the mattresses we tested have a removable, machine-washable cover that is waterproof and zips closed. This makes cleaning and maintaining them more simple.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the proper set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies provide baby rails with the crib. Others sell them separately. If you decide to buy them separately, search for ones that meet the safety requirements. They should, for example, be free of missing or loose 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 be secured in a secure way to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

The crib rails must not only be strong and sturdy, but they should also fit within the crib frame. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too flimsy and potentially risky for your child. When buying crib rails, be sure to measure the inside of the frame, as there are slight variations in crib sizes. The area should not be larger than three fingers.

Also, make sure that the crib rails do not include any cutouts with decorative designs or other ornaments. They could pose the risk of suffocation. You should also avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts or sheepskins in the crib because they can cause an unhealthy build-up of carbon dioxide and increase your baby's risk of SIDS. Consider a crib cover and pad combination for a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby. The products comprise a mattress pad with a waterproof lining and a fitted "skirt" that stretches around the mattress in the same way as an oversized sheet.

You'll also want to make sure that you have the proper crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the head of your baby in the event that it falls on the crib railings as you feed him or her or cradling them on the bed. They also help to prevent dental marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings fixed.

As your baby grows out of the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in their bed until they're ready to move on to a bigger bed for their child. Sweetpea Baby Cot offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can fit on most cribs that are standard. It's easy to install and meets CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain aspects of the crib's design are solely aesthetic or otherwise subject to personal preference however, other aspects--like the style of slats, or whether the crib converts to an adult bed--can have a significant influence on the ease of use and the length of time the crib will last. The Best cot for newborn cribs feature solid wood construction, comply with numerous safety standards, and are easily configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs have distinct features that make them more efficient. For instance the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without having to take off the entire mattress.

You should avoid cribs with ornamental cutouts or other designs, as they could snag on clothing or pose the risk of choking babies. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts, as well as other items that could get caught on clothing or objects.

The top crib sets (read on) include easy-to-follow directions and all the essential parts, such as hardware. The majority of modern cribs can be assembled in a half-hour or less, and most come with all of the tools required.

Think about a convertible crib that can be transformed into a daybed, toddler or full-size mattress. This can be a smart purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for a number of years or have limited space in their homes. Be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to comprehend, but it's essential for safety and stability. Most cribs come with a system of rectangular block wedges (also known as "shims") and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They are all designed to tighten up contact points between the crib and supported surface.

Some chocks and shims are made from soft woods that break slowly, which can provide warnings that sound before they fail, while stiffer wooden materials could break abruptly and with greater force. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available and can be easier to install since they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
