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

The best crib sets come with everything you need for your infant to sleep peacefully from the beginning. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to fit snugly around the mattress, without bunching - a major safety risk for babies.

One tester for parents said that she had used it for two babies and then gave it to a different friend. This makes it a wise purchase. Its sleek design makes it a perfect choice for minimalist nursery spaces.

Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a variety of options out there. But choosing the right sheet is more than just picking a cute pattern to fit your style. You must also find something that fits tightly and doesn't get clumped into places that could be a risk of suffocation for your baby. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand blowouts from diapers, spit up and other messes over the course of months without fading.

This set from Avocado is one of our favorites. It comes with two sheets made with 100% certified organic GOTS cotton. The fabrics are MADE SAFE certified, a non-responsible third-party certification that guarantees that the company's products are in compliance with strict standards for quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk, which means they won't shrink or stretch after washing, and are designed to fit on a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed to get rid of the inevitable mess your baby will create.

Another great option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which provides an additional layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and stains. Select a mattress cover that is less than one-inch thick so that your child can breathe. Avoid anything that is too soft, or with long ribbons, bows and other adornments. These can come off and pose the risk of strangulation.

Consider buying an adjustable crib if you plan to keep your baby in the crib for a long time. These beds can be transformed into a toddler bed, or even a full-size daybed. Some cribs include the conversion kits, whereas others require a purchase.

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

Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes to crib mattress. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits comfortably and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you place a sheet over it. The mattress must also be the correct size for the crib, and it should stay in place even after your child is old enough to leave it.

In addition, you'll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made of chemicals that could be harmful to your child. Choose mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a good sign. It confirms that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

A few other things to think about include how much the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. A waterproof or wipeable surface is better for cleaning, since you'll be changing sheets in the night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the largest of the bunch we tested at 20lbs, which may be a problem for certain parents.

Another aspect to be aware of is if the mattress is dual-sided; some of these have a firm infant side and a soft toddler side. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress once your child is at the peak of their normal growth, usually around 12 months.

We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how they could be folded easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also put the weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn baby on each mattress to observe how it reacted. The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, meaning they have enough support to prevent your child from falling or being suffocated in cot bed sales. The mattresses we tested had a cover that is machine washable and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even easier.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the right set of rails fixed. While some baby furniture companies include a set of baby rails with their cribs and others sell them on their own. If you opt to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. For example, they should be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets or other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child without being too fragile. They should also to secure themselves so that they can't be removed from your child.

The crib rails should not only be strong and sturdy, but they should also fit within the frame of the crib. This will stop the mattress from becoming flimsy, which can be unsafe for your child. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame before purchasing the crib rail. There are a few slight variations in the sizes of cribs. The ideal space should be no more than three fingers wide.

You'll also want to ensure that the crib rails are devoid of decorative cut-outs and other adornments which could be dangers to suffocate your child. Avoid placing quilts, pillows, blankets and sheepskins inside the crib. These can cause an unintentional accumulation of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. Consider a crib pad and cover if you want a soft sleeping surface for your baby. They consist of mattress pads with a waterproof lining and an adjustable "skirt" that wraps around the mattress like an oversized sheet.

You'll also need to make sure you have the correct crib rail guards. These are designed to protect the head of your Baby Cot in the event that it falls on the crib railings while you feed him or her or cradling them on the cheap cot bed. They also help to prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's fixed railings.

Once your infant outgrows the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in their bed until they're ready for a big kid bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that is compatible with all cribs that are standard. It is easy to install and meets CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain aspects of the crib's design are solely aesthetic or subject to personal preference however other aspects, such as the design of slats or whether the crib converts into an adult bed--can have a significant impact on the ease of use and the length of time the crib will last. The best cribs have solid wood construction, meet various safety standards, and are easily configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs come with unique features that make them more effective such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to swap the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs with decorative cut-outs, or other decorations that could catch on clothing or create a choking risk for children. Also, make sure to check the crib's hardware regularly for loose bolts or items that could catch on clothing or other objects and present danger.

The top crib sets include easy-to-follow directions and all the essential parts, such as hardware. Most modern cribs can be assembled within a half-hour or less, and they come with all of the necessary tools.

It is also possible to think about a convertible crib that can transform into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size Mini Cot Bed. It's a good buy for families that plan to keep the crib for many years or have limited space in their homes. It's important to keep in mind that some crib conversion kits require a second purchase to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to grasp however it is essential for safety and stability. Most cribs come with a system of rectangular blocks, wedges (also known as "shims") and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to strengthen the 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. Plastic shims and chocks are also available and are easier to install since they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
