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 pre-shrunk and machine washable and designed to fit tightly around the mattress without bunching - a significant safety risk for babies.

One tester for parents said that she had used hers for two babies and then gave it to a friend. This makes it a smart buy. Its minimalist design makes it a great option for small nursery designs.

Bedding

There are many options when it comes to bedding for your crib. But picking the right one is more than just selecting a cute pattern that will be in line with your preferences. You must also find something that is firmly fitted and doesn't get clumped into places that could be a risk of suffocation for your baby. It must also be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts from diapers and spit-up spills without wearing out too fast.

One of our favorites is this Avocado set, which contains two sheets that are made from 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. It's an independent third-party certification that guarantees Avocado's products meet stringent standards for safety and quality. 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 for the inevitable mess that your little child is bound to make.

A crib mattress pad is a excellent option for infants and toddlers. It adds an additional layer of comfort and shields the mattress from accidents and stains. Select a mattress cover that is less than one-inch thick so that your child can breathe. Avoid anything that's too fluffy or has long ribbons, bows cots and tots other ornaments that could be removed and create the risk of strangulation.

If you plan to keep your baby in a crib for quite some time, think about buying a convertible crib. These mini cot beds can be transformed into a toddler bed, and occasionally even a full-size daybed. Some cribs have the necessary conversion kits however, others require a separate purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 sleigh crib is one of our favorites. It's made of solid wood and has one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on the mattress from a low position). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets stringent environmental standards to prevent off-gassing.

Mattress

When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and sizing are important. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that is comfortable and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you place a sheet over it. The mattress should be the appropriate size for the crib and remain in place after your child has grown out of it.

Additionally, you'll need to be aware of whether the mattress is made from chemicals that could be harmful to your child. Choose a mattress that is odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. A good indication is a CertiPUR-US certificate, which certifies that the mattress's foam is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde and phthalates, which are regulated by Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other factors to consider include the mattress's weight and whether or not it is waterproof. A waterproof or wipeable surface is more suitable for cleaning since you'll have to change sheets in the night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we've tested, weighing at 20 pounds. This could be a deal-breaker for certain parents.

A mattress with two sides may have an infant side that is firm and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress once your child has reached the height of their normal growth. This is typically around 12 months.

We weighed the mattresses and observed how they were able to fold easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also put an 8-pound weight, slightly heavier than a newborn, on each mattress to determine how it reacted. The top mattresses did not sink this means they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of mattress while sleeping or drowning. Some of the mattresses we tested have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them much easier.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without a set of rails fixed. Some furniture companies for babies provide baby rails in the crib. Others offer them separately. If you opt to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. For instance, they should be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child without being too flimsy. They should also be able to be secured in a secure way so they cannot be removed by your child.

The right crib rails will not only be sturdy but they must also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will stop the mattress from becoming fragile, which could be unsafe for your child. When purchasing crib rails, be sure to take measurements of the inside of the frame, since there are slight variations in the size of cribs. The ideal space should be no more than three fingers wide.

Also, you should ensure that the crib rails are free of cut-outs with decorative designs and other ornaments that could pose suffocation hazards. Avoid placing pillows, blankets, quilts and sheepskins in the crib as these can contribute to an unhealthy accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS. If you're looking to add an extra soft surface for sleeping in the crib, try a crib pad-and-cover combination. These products consist of a mattress pad that is waterproof and an elongated "skirt" that fits around the mattress just like the fitted sheet.

You'll also need to make sure that you have the proper crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion the baby's head if it hits the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them beside the bed. They can also prevent the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's fixed side railings.

As your baby grows out of the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to keep your child safely in their cot bed sales until they're ready to move on to an adult bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that works with most standard cribs. It's easy to set up and meets all CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are purely aesthetic and are based on personal preference, however other features -- like the design of the slats that are on the crib or whether it can be converted into a toddler bedcan have a major impact on the user-friendliness of the crib as well as its lifespan. The best cribs are made of solid wood, comply with multiple safety regulations and are easily adjusted to various mattress heights. Certain cribs come with special features that make them more efficient. For example the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without removing the entire mattress.

Avoid cribs with ornamental cutouts or other designs because they could get caught on clothing or create a risk of choking for children. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts and other items that can catch on clothing or objects.

The top crib sets include simple instructions as well as all the required parts, such as hardware. Modern cribs can be put together in half an hour or less, and they come with all of the necessary tools.

Think about a convertible crib that can be transformed into a toddler, daybed or a full-size mattress. This is a great buy for families that plan to keep the crib for several years or have small space in their homes. Be aware that some crib conversion kit require additional purchases to complete the process.

It isn't easy to comprehend crib hardware, but it is crucial to ensure security and stability. Most cribs have a system consisting of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and massive chocks referred to as step chocks. They are all designed to tighten the connections between the crib and the surface that supports it.

Some chocks and shims are constructed from soft woods that break slow, which may provide warnings that sound before they fail, while stiffer wooden materials could break abruptly and with more force. Plastic shims or chocks can also be purchased. They are easier to install since they do not require drilling into the surface.
