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 rest comfortably from the first day. They are pre-shrunk and washable. They are designed to sit comfortably around the mattress, and avoid getting tangled - a major danger for infants.

One tester for parents stated that she used hers for two children and then passed it on to a friend which makes it a wise purchase. Its sleek design makes it a great option for nurseries with minimalist designs.

Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a lot of options. However, picking the right bedding is more than simply picking a cute pattern to match your aesthetic; you must also find something that fits snugly and doesn't get clumped up in places where it could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It is important to choose a soft and durable material to withstand blowouts from diapers, spills, and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

One of our favorites is this Avocado set It comes with two sheets that are made with 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and MADE SAFE-certified, an independent third-party verification that guarantees Avocado's products meet stringent standards for safety and quality. They're pre-shrunk, which means they won't stretch or shrink after washing, and they're designed to fit on a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed in the machine to remove the inevitable mess your little bundle is likely to make.

Another great option for infants and toddlers is a crib mattress pad, which provides an additional layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and stains. Select a mattress cover that is less than 1 inch thick to allow your child to breathe. And steer clear of anything that's too fluffy or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other adornments that can be removed and create the risk of strangulation.

If you're planning to keep your baby in a crib for a long time, think about buying a convertible crib. These beds can be converted into a toddler cot bed sales, and sometimes even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs come with the necessary conversion kits however, others require a purchase.

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

Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends a firm mattress which fits snugly, and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you place the sheet over it. The mattress must also be the correct size for the crib, and it should remain in place even after your child gets out of it.

In addition, you'll want to consider if the mattress is made from chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Find mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. A good indication is a CertiPUR-US certificate that certifies that the mattress's foam is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, Phthalates that are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other things to consider are the weight of the mattress and whether or not it is waterproof. A mattress that is waterproof or able to be cleaned is more suitable for cleaning since you'll have to change sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we've tested, coming at 20 pounds. This may be a deal-breaker for certain parents.

A mattress with two sides may have one side that is firm for infants and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress when your child reaches the height of their normal growth, usually at around 12 months.

When we tested crib mattresses, we examined their weight and how easily they folded and maneuvered to dress the sides with sheets. We also placed a weight of 8 pounds which was slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby on each mattress to observe how it reacts. The top mattresses did not sink in, which means that they provide enough support to keep your child from falling out of their bed during sleep or to suffocate. A few of the mattresses we tried have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips closed. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the right set of rails fixed. Some furniture companies for babies provide baby rails with the crib. Others sell them separately. If you decide to purchase the rails separately, ensure that they meet all safety standards. For instance, they should be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to support your child's weight, but not too thin. They must also lock securely into place so they cannot be removed by your child.

The crib rails need to not only be strong, but also fit snugly within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from being too flimsy, which can cause harm to your baby. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame when buying the crib rail. There are slight variations in the sizes of cribs. The ideal space should be no more than three fingers wide.

Also, you should ensure that the crib rails are free of decorative cut-outs and other ornaments that could pose dangers for suffocation. Avoid placing quilts, pillows or blankets in the crib. They can result in an unintentional accumulation of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS in your child. If you're looking to provide a soft sleeping surface in the crib, try a crib cover-and-pad combo. The products comprise an upholstered mattress pad, a waterproof lining and a fitted "skirt" that wraps over the mattress, much like an oversized sheet.

It is also important to ensure that you have the right crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion the head of your baby when it comes into contact with the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them on the bed. They also can help avoid the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's fixed railings.

You'll have to purchase an infant guardrail when your child outgrows their crib. This will keep them safely in the crib until they are ready for a bigger bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can work with most standard best rated cribs. It's easy to set up and meets all safety standards of the CPSC.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are purely aesthetic and are subject to individual preference, while others -- such as the style of the slats that are on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the comfort of the crib as well as its longevity. The most durable cribs are made of solid wood construction, meet various safety standards, and are adaptable to various mattress heights. Some cribs feature unique features which make them more useful. For instance, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

Avoid cribs with decorative cutouts, or other accessories that could catch on clothing or pose the danger of choking children. Also, make certain to check the crib hardware regularly for loose bolts or items that could catch on clothing or other objects, and pose danger.

The best baby cots crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required components including hardware. The majority of modern cribs take half an hour or less to put together, and a majority include all the tools you'll need.

You may also want to think about a convertible crib that could transform into daybed, toddler bed, or full-size best cot bed. It's a good buy for families that plan to keep the crib for a number of years or who have small space in their homes. You should be aware that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to grasp, but it's essential to ensure safety and stability. Most cribs have a system consisting of rectangular blocks wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks known as step chocks. They are all designed to tighten the connections between the crib and the supported surface.

Some chocks and shims are constructed from soft woods that break slowly, which can provide warnings that sound before they fail as more robust wood materials could break abruptly and with more force. Plastic shims or chocks can also be purchased. They are easier to install since they don't require drilling into the surface.
