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 the beginning. They're pre-shrunk, machine washable and designed to be able to sit tightly around the mattress without bunching - a major safety hazard for babies.

One parent testigator said that she used it through two babies and then passed it to a relative which makes it a wise purchase. Its streamlined design also makes it an ideal choice for small nursery designs.

Bedding

There are plenty of choices when it comes to crib bedding. But picking the right one is more than just selecting a cute pattern that will fit your style. You must also find something that fits snugly and doesn't get clumped up in places where it could pose a danger of suffocation for your baby. And it has to be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of diaper blowouts and spit-up without wearing out too fast.

One of our top picks is this Avocado set that includes two sheets made of 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party verification that guarantees Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk to ensure that they don't shrink and stretch after washing. They also fit a standard crib bed (27 1 cots 4 tots inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed in the machine to get rid of the inevitable mess that your baby will create.

A crib mattress pad is another great option for babies and toddlers. It adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and stains. Look for mattress pads that are less than an inch thick so your child is able to breathe easily. Avoid anything that's too soft or has long ribbons, bows and other adornments that can become detached and pose a strangulation risk.

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

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 sleigh crib is one of our favorites. It's constructed of solid wood and comes with one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, which means it meets strict environmental standards for reduced emissions of gas.

Mattress

Size and firmness are crucial when it comes to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits comfortably and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you put the sheet over it. The mattress must also be the proper size for the crib, and it should remain in place even after your child gets out of it.

Additionally, you'll need to determine if the mattress is made from substances that could harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs) which release an unpleasant chemical odor. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It is a certifiable sign that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

Other things to consider are the weight of the mattress and whether or not it's waterproof. You'll likely be dealing with changes to sheets at night, so an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the heaviest of the selection we tested at 20 pounds that could be a problem for certain parents.

Another thing to keep in mind is whether the mattress is dual-sided; some of these come with a firm infant side and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians advise flipping the mattress of your child when they reach the peak of normal growth. This is typically at around 12 months.

When testing crib mattresses, we measured them and observed how easily they folded and maneuvered to dress the sides with sheets. We also put the weight of 8 pounds which is slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn infant, on each mattress to determine how it reacts. The best cot newborn ones did not sink and therefore provide enough support to prevent your child from falling out of bed while they sleep or to suffocate. Some of the mattresses we tested had a removable cover that can be machine-washed and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even more simple.

Crib Rails

A crib would not be complete without the right set of rails fixed. While some baby furniture companies offer baby rails with the crib, others offer them separately. If you opt to buy them separately, search for ones that meet the safety requirements. For example, they should be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should also be able support the weight of your child, but not be too flimsy. They should also to secure themselves to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

The crib rails should not only be strong, but also fit snugly within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming fragile, which could be dangerous for your baby. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame prior to purchasing the crib rail. There are a few slight variations in the sizes of cribs. The dimensions should be no more than three fingers.

You'll also want to make sure the crib rails are free of decorative cut-outs and other adornments that could pose dangers to suffocate your child. Avoid placing pillows, quilts blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. These could cause a dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. Consider a crib cover and pad combination for a comfortable sleeping mattress for your baby. The products comprise mattress pads with an elongated waterproof lining as well as an adjustable "skirt" that stretches around the mattress like an fitted sheet.

Finally, you'll need purchase the appropriate crib rail protectors. These are designed to protect the head of your baby in the event that it falls on the crib railings as you feed them or cradling them next to the bed. They also help prevent the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's fixed side railings.

You'll need an infant guardrail when your child outgrows their crib. This will keep them safe in bed until they are ready for a bigger bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that is compatible with most standard cribs. It's simple to install and is compliant with the CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some aspects of crib design are solely aesthetic or otherwise subject to personal preference, however, other aspects--like the style of slats, or whether the crib converts to a toddler bed--can have significant impact on the ease of use as well as how long the crib will last. The most durable cribs are made from solid wood, and meet various safety standards, and can be easily adapted to different mattress heights. Certain cribs have unique features that make them more useful such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet that allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

You should avoid cribs with decorative cutouts, or other accessories because they could get caught on clothing or create a risk of choking for infants. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that can catch on objects or clothing.

The best crib sets come with easy-to-follow directions as well as all the required components, like hardware. Modern cribs can be put together in a half-hour or less, and most come with all of the tools needed.

You might also want to think about a convertible crib which can transform into a daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed or a full-size bed. This is a great option for families who intend to use the crib for many years or have limited space. Be aware that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process.

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

Some shims or chocks can be made from soft woods that crack slowly. This could trigger an audible warning when they fail. However, woods that are more rigid may break more suddenly and with greater force. The shims and chocks are made of plastic and are also available for purchase. They are simpler to install since they don't require drilling into the surface.
