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 newborn to sleep soundly from the beginning. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to fit snugly on the mattress without bunching - a major danger for infants.

One tester for parents said that she used hers for two babies and then passed it on to another friend. This made it a good investment. Its sleek design makes it a good choice for minimalist nurseries.

Bedding

There are many options to choose from when it comes down to crib bedding. But choosing the right sheet is more than simply choosing a cute design to fit your style. You must also find something that is firmly fitted and doesn't bunch up in areas where it could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It should also be soft to the touch and durable enough to stand up to months of blowouts in diapers and spit-up without wearing out too fast.

One of our top picks is this set from Avocado that includes two sheets made with 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. It's an independent third-party certification that ensures Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk so they won't shrink or stretch after washing, and they're made to fit a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable for the inevitable mess your little bundle of joy is sure to create.

Another great crib option for newborns and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress against accidents and stains. Choose a mattress cover which is less than one inch thick to let your child breathe. Beware of anything that's too soft or includes long bows, ribbons and other adornments that can detach and pose the risk of strangulation.

If you plan to keep your baby in the crib for a considerable amount of time, think about buying a convertible crib. They typically convert into a toddler bed and occasionally to full-size beds or a daybed, too. Some cribs come with the necessary conversion kits, but others require a purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our top picks. It's constructed of solid wood and comes with one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on the mattress from a low position). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, which means it meets the strictest environmental standards to prevent off gassing.

Mattress

When it concerns crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends using a mattress that is firm, is comfortable and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should be of the right size for the crib, and it should remain in place--even after your baby grows out of it.

In addition, you'll want to determine if the mattress is made from chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Look for mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. A good indicator is a CertiPUR-US certificate which confirms that the foam used in mattresses is made without Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, 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 weighs and whether it's waterproof or not. You'll likely have to deal with changing sheets at night and a waterproof or wipeable surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the heaviest of the bunch we tested at 20 pounds that could 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 an easy toddler side. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress when your child reaches the height of their normal growth. This is typically around 12 months.

We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how they were able to fold easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also put a weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn baby on each mattress to see how it responded. The most effective mattresses did not sink into the mattress this means they provide enough support to prevent your child from falling out of the bed while they sleep or drowning. 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 much easier.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without a set of rails fixed. Some furniture companies for babies provide baby rails as part of the crib. Others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase them on their own, make sure they meet the safety standards. They should, for example, be free of loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child, but not be too fragile. They should also be able lock securely in place to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

The best crib rails will not only be sturdy but they must also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming fragile, which could be unsafe for your child. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame when buying the crib rail. There are a few slight variations in the sizes of the crib. The ideal space should be no more than three fingers wide.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails don't include any cutouts with decorative designs or other ornaments. They could pose an suffocation threat. Avoid placing quilts, pillows blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. They can result in an unintentional accumulation of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your Baby Cot Bed. Try a crib cover-and-pad combo for a comfortable sleeping mattress for your baby. These products are made up of a mattress pad that is waterproof and an elongated "skirt", which fits around the mattress like a fitted sheet.

Lastly, you'll want to purchase the appropriate crib rail guards. These are designed to protect the head of your child in the event that it falls on the crib railings when you feed them or cradling them beside the bed. They also help to prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings that are fixed.

When your child is no longer in the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in the crib until they're ready for a bigger bed for their child. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that can be used with the majority of cribs. It is simple to install and meets CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some crib design features are only aesthetic and are subject to individual preference, while others like the style of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bedcould have a significant impact on the comfort of the crib as well as its longevity. The best cots for newborns cribs feature solid wood construction, meet numerous safety standards, and are adaptable to various mattress heights. Certain cribs come with special features that make them more useful. For instance, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without removing the entire mattress.

In general, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs or other ornaments that could snag on clothes or create a choking risk for infants. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that could snag on clothing or other objects.

The top crib sets include simple instructions and all the essential components, like hardware. The majority of modern cribs can be assembled in half an hour or less, and they come with all of the tools needed.

Think about a convertible crib that can be transformed into a daybed, toddler or full-size mattress. This is a great purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for several years or have little space in their homes. It's important to keep in mind that certain crib conversion kits require a second purchase to fully complete the process.

It can be difficult to comprehend crib hardware, but it's vital to ensure safety and stability. Most cribs have a system of rectangular block, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten up contact points between the crib and the supported surface.

Some shims and chocks may be made of soft woods, which crack slowly. This may give an audible warning before they fail. However, woods that are more rigid can break more rapidly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available and can be installed more easily because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
