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 peacefully from day one. They are pre-shrunk and washable. They are designed to fit comfortably around the mattress, and avoid the risk of bunching, which is a serious safety risk for babies.

One tester for parents said that she used hers for two babies, and then passed it on to another friend. This made it a wise purchase. Its minimalist design makes it a perfect choice for small nursery designs.

Bedding

There are a lot of options to choose from when it comes down to crib bedding. But picking the right one is more than just selecting a cute pattern that will match your aesthetic; you also want something that fits tightly and doesn't bunch into places that could pose a danger of suffocation for your baby. It must also be soft to the touch and durable enough to stand up to months of diaper blowouts and spit-up spills without wearing out too quickly.

One of our favorite sets is this Avocado set that includes two sheets made with 100% organic cotton that is certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. It's an independent third-party certification that ensures Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for safety and quality. The sheets are pre-shrunk so that they don't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit on 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 baby is bound to make.

Another great option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads which adds an extra layer of comfort while also protecting the mattress from accidents and staining. Look for a mattress pad that's less than an inch thick, so your child can still breathe easily. Avoid anything that is too fluffy, or with long ribbons, bows or other ornaments. These could fall off and pose a strangulation hazard.

If you're planning to keep your baby in a crib for a long time, you should consider purchasing a convertible crib. They typically convert into a toddler bed and sometimes to a daybed or full-size bed, too. Some cribs come with necessary conversion kits however, others require a separate purchase.

Some of our top cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, made from solid wood and has one of the taller mattress heights in the group (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, which means it meets strict environmental standards to prevent gassing.

Mattress

When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and size are essential. The AAP recommends using a firm mattress that fits snugly 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 cots and tots it should remain in place--even after your baby grows out of it.

Additionally, you'll need to consider if the mattress is made from chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Look for mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It is a certifiable sign that the foam used in the mattress is free of ozone depleters and other harmful chemicals.

A few other aspects to consider are how much weight the mattress weighs and whether it's waterproof or not. It's likely that you'll be dealing with changes to sheets at night, so having a surface that is waterproof or wipeable will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the most heavy product we tested, weighing in at 20 lbs. This could be a deal-breaker for certain parents.

Another aspect to be aware of is whether the mattress is dual-sided. Some come with a firm infant side and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians recommend flipping your child's mattress when they reach the peak of normal growth. This is usually at around 12 months.

When testing crib mattresses we weighed them and looked at how they folded and moved to dress the sides with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound weight, slightly heavier than a newborn on each one to observe how the mattress reacted. The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, meaning they provide enough support to stop your child from falling off or getting suffocated. Some of the mattresses we tried have an easily washable, removable cover that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them much easier.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the proper set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails in the crib. Others offer them separately. If you choose to buy the rails separately, ensure that they meet all safety requirements. For example, they should be free of missing or loose screws, brackets or other hardware. They should be strong enough to support your child's weight, but not too thin. They should also lock securely into place so they can't be taken away by your child.

The crib rails need to not only be sturdy and sturdy, but they should also fit within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming too flimsy and potentially dangerous for your child. When buying crib rails, be sure to measure the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in crib sizes. The space should ideally be no more than three fingers.

Also, make sure that the crib rails don't contain any cutouts that are decorative or other ornaments. They could pose an suffocation threat. Avoid placing pillows, quilts, blankets and sheepskins inside the crib. These could cause the buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS in your child. If you're looking to add a soft sleep surface in the crib, you can try a crib pad-and-cover combo. These products are made up of a waterproof mattress pad and an elongated "skirt", which fits around the mattress just like a fitted sheet.

You'll also want to ensure that you have the right crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion the cheap baby cots's head if it hits the crib railings when you feed him or her or cradling them beside the bed. They also help to prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings fixed.

As your baby grows out of the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to ensure your child's safety in the bed until they're ready to move on to a bigger cot bed sales for their child. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will work with most standard cribs. It's easy to install and meets the CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some aspects of crib design are purely 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 how long the crib will last. The best cribs feature solid wood construction, meet numerous safety standards, and are easily adaptable to various mattress heights. Some cribs have special features that make them more efficient. For example, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

In general, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs or other ornaments that could catch on clothing or create a choking risk for children. Be sure to check the crib hardware regularly for loose bolts or other items that could catch on clothing or other objects and present danger.

The best crib sets come with easy-to-follow instructions and all the essential components, including hardware. Most modern cribs take a half hour or less to put together and many come with all the equipment you'll need.

You might also want to consider a convertible crib which can transform into a daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed or a full-size bed. This is a good choice for families who intend to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have a limited space. It is important to know that some crib conversion kit require additional items to complete the process.

It can be difficult to understand crib hardware, but it is crucial to ensure safety and stability. The majority of cribs have an arrangement of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and big chocks referred to as step chocks. They're all designed to ensure that contact points are secure between the crib and supported surface.

Some chocks and shims are constructed from soft woods that crack slowly, and can give audible warnings prior to failure, while stiffer wooden materials may break suddenly and with more force. The shims and chocks are made of plastic and can also be purchased. They are much easier to install since they don't require drilling into the surface.
