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, machine washable and designed cots to tots fit snugly around the mattress, without bunching. This is a major safety hazard for babies.

One parent testigator said that she had used it for two babies, and then gave it to a friend. This made it a good investment. Its sleek design makes it a great option for minimalist nursery designs.

Bedding

There are a lot of choices when it comes to crib bedding. It's not just about choosing one that is in line with your style. It is also important to ensure that the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't bunch up in areas that could be an choking risk to your child. It is important to choose a soft and durable material to withstand diaper blowouts, spit up and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

One of our favorites is this Avocado set It comes with two sheets made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and MADE SAFE-certified, an independent third-party verification that guarantees Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for safety and quality. The sheets are pre-shrunk to ensure that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit on a standard crib bed (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable for the inevitable mess your child is bound to make.

A crib mattress pad is a ideal option for babies and toddlers. It adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from accidents and staining. Find mattress pads that are less than an inch thick so your child can still breathe easily. Avoid anything that is too fluffy or with bows, long ribbons or other ornaments. They can fall off 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 beds can be converted into a toddler bed, and occasionally even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs include the conversion kits, whereas others require a separate purchase.

A few of our most-loved cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, made from solid wood and features one of the highest 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 to prevent off-gassing.

Mattress

When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and sizing are essential. The AAP suggests using a firm mattress that fits comfortably and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should also be of the right size for the crib and it should remain in place--even after your baby is old enough to leave it.

You'll also want to check whether the mattress has chemicals that may harm your child. Choose mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which often emit an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indicator is a CertiPUR US certificate, which certifies that the mattress's foam is made without 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.

A few other things to consider include how much weight the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. A mattress that is waterproof or able to be cleaned is more suitable for cleaning since you'll have to change sheets every night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the heaviest product we've tested, coming around 20 lbs. This may be a deal-breaker for certain parents.

Another important thing to consider is if the mattress is dual-sided. Some have a firm infant side and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress after your child reaches the height of their normal growth. This is typically at around 12 months.

We weighed the mattresses and observed how they could be folded easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound weight, slightly heavier than that of a newborn infant, on each mattress to determine how it responded. The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, which means they provide enough support to stop your child from falling off or suffocating in bed. A few of the mattresses we tested have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips closed. This makes cleaning and maintaining them easier.

Crib Rails

A crib would be incomplete without the correct set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails with the crib. Others offer them separately. If you opt to purchase them separately, look for ones that meet all of the safety requirements. For instance, they should be free of missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to support your child's weight without being too thin. They should also be able be secured in a secure way to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

The crib rails need to not only be sturdy, but also fit snugly within the frame of the crib. This will stop the mattress from becoming too fragile, which could cause harm to your baby. When buying crib rails, make sure to measure the inside of the frame because there are slight differences in crib sizes. The ideal space should be no more than three fingers wide.

Also, you should make sure the crib rails are free of cut-outs with decorative designs or other decorations that could pose dangers to suffocate your child. It is also recommended to avoid putting pillows blankets, blankets, quilts or sheepskins on the crib, as these can contribute to a dangerous carbon dioxide build-up and increase your baby's risk of SIDS. Consider a crib pad and cover to provide a comfortable sleeping mattress for your Baby beds. These are comprised of a mattress pad that is waterproof and an elongated "skirt" that can be positioned around the mattress in the same way as a fitted sheet.

Lastly, you'll want to find the best crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the baby's head in the event that it falls on the crib railings as you're feeding him or her or cradling them beside the bed. They can also stop teeth marks and drool staining on the crib's side railings that are fixed.

When your child is no longer in the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to keep your child safely in the bed until they're ready for a big kid bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will work with all cribs. It is easy to install and meets CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are only aesthetic and are based on individual preference, while others like the style of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -could have a significant impact on the user-friendliness of the crib and its longevity. The best cribs are made of solid wood, meet multiple safety regulations and can be easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some cribs come with special features that make them more useful like the Quick Zip Crib Sheet that allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

In general, you should avoid cribs with ornamental cut-outs or other ornaments that could snag on clothes or pose a choking risk for infants. Also, be certain cots to tots check the crib's hardware frequently for loose bolts or items that could catch on clothing or other objects and create the risk of injury.

The best crib sets have simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary parts including hardware. The majority of modern cribs take half hour or less to put together, tots and cots many include all the tools you'll need.

Look into a convertible crib that can be transformed into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size mattress. This is a good option for families that plan to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have a limited space. It is important to know that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.

It isn't easy to comprehend crib hardware, but it is crucial to ensure safety and stability. Most cribs feature the rectangular blocks and wedges (also known as "shims") and huge chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to ensure that contact points are secure between the crib and the supported surface.

Some chocks and shims are made from soft woods that crack slowly, and can give audible warnings before they fail and more rigid wood materials may break suddenly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available, which can be easier to install since they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
