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 first day. They're pre-shrunk and machine washable and designed to be able to sit tightly around the mattress without bunching--a serious safety risk for infants.

One tester for parents stated that she used hers for two babies and then passed it to a friend and it was a great purchase. Its sleek design makes it an ideal choice for small nurseries.

Bedding

There are a lot of choices when it comes to bedding for your crib. However, picking the right bedding is more than just choosing a cute design to fit your style. You also want something that is firmly fitted and doesn't clump up in areas where it could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It should be soft and durable to withstand blowouts from diapers, spit up and other messes over the course of months without fading.

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

Another great option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads which adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and stains. Look for crib sets mattress pads that are less than an inch thick to ensure your child is able to breathe easily. Avoid anything that's too soft or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other ornaments that could become detached and pose the risk of strangulation.

You should consider buying a convertible crib if plan to keep your child in the crib for a long time. These beds typically convert to a toddler bed and occasionally to a full-size or daybed, too. Some cribs come with conversion kits, whereas other require an extra purchase.

A few of our favorite cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib in a sleigh style, which is constructed of solid wood tots and cots features one of the taller mattress heights (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a mattress that is low). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets the strictest environmental standards to prevent off-gassing.

Mattress

When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits comfortably and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should be the right size for the crib and remain in place after your child grows out of it.

It is also important to determine whether the mattress is made up of chemicals that may harm your child. Find mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It certifies that the foam used in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

Other things to think about include how much weight the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. You'll likely have to deal with changing sheets at night, so a waterproof or wipeable surface will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the most heavy of the ones we tested at 20 lbs which could be a turnoff for some parents.

A dual-sided mattress may have an infant side that is firm and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians suggest flipping your child's mattress when they reach the height of 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 placed an 8-pound weight, slightly heavier than a newborn on each one to see how much it recoiled. The best mattresses did not sink, meaning they offer enough support to stop your child from falling off or suffocating in bed. A few of the mattresses we tried have a removable, machine-washable cover that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them simpler.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without a set of rails fixed. While some baby furniture companies offer baby rails along with the crib, others offer them on their own. If you decide to purchase them separately, make sure they meet the safety standards. They should, for instance, be free of loose or missing screws, brackets, and other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child without becoming too flimsy. They should also be able to be secured in a secure way so they cannot be removed by your child.

The crib rails should not only be sturdy, but also fit snugly within the frame of the crib. This will keep the mattress from becoming too flimsy and potentially hazardous for your child. When you purchase crib rails, make sure to examine the inside of the frame, as there are slight variations in crib sizes. The dimensions should be no more than three fingers.

You'll also want to ensure that the crib rails are devoid of decorative cut-outs and other ornaments, which can be potential dangers to suffocate your child. Avoid placing pillows, quilts blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. These can cause an unintentional buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing your baby's SIDS risk. Consider a crib pad and cover for a comfortable sleeping surface for your Baby beds. These products consist of mattress pads with waterproof lining and an adjustable "skirt" that wraps over the mattress, much like a fitted sheet.

You'll also need to make sure that you have the correct crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion your baby's head when it falls on the crib railings while feeding or cradling him or her beside the bed. They also can help avoid the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's railings fixed.

You'll have to purchase an infant guardrail when your child is no longer in 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 all cribs. It's easy to install and meets CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are purely aesthetic and are subject to individual preference, while others -- such as the style of the slats that are on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bed -- can have a significant impact on the ease of use of the crib and its longevity. The best cribs have solid wood construction, meet numerous safety standards, and are easily configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs feature distinct features that make them more efficient. For instance, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress.

Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs, or other decorations that could snag on clothes or pose a risk of choking for infants. Be sure to inspect the crib's hardware regularly for loose bolts or items that could catch on clothing or other objects and create danger.

The best crib sets come with easy-to-follow instructions and all necessary parts, including hardware. The majority of modern cribs take half hour or less to assemble, and a majority come with all the tools you'll require.

It is also possible to think about a convertible crib which can transform into daybed, toddler bed, or full-size bed. This is a good option for families who plan to use the crib for many years or have limited space. It's important to note that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be difficult to comprehend but it's vital for security and stability. Most cribs are equipped with a system of rectangular blocks, wedges (also known as "shims"), and huge chocks, also known as step chocks, all of which are designed to secure the contact points between the crib and its support surface.

Some chocks and shims are made of soft woods which crack slow, which may provide warnings that sound before they fail and more rigid wood materials could break abruptly and with more force. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available for purchase. They are easier to install since they don't require drilling into the surface.
