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 peacefully from the first day. They are pre-shrunk and washable. They are designed to sit comfortably on the mattress without the risk of bunching, which is a serious danger for infants.

One parent tester said she used hers through two babies and passed it on to a friend and it was a great purchase. Its sleek design makes it a great option for smaller nursery spaces.

Bedding

When it is time to choose a crib bedding, there are a lot of options out there. 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 clump into places that could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. And it has to be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts from diapers and spit-up, without deteriorating too fast.

One of our favorite sets is this set from Avocado, which contains two sheets made of 100% organic cotton that is certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party certification that guarantees the company's textiles meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk to guarantee that they don't shrink and stretch after washing. They also fit on a standard crib (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed to clean up the inevitable mess that your baby will create.

A crib mattress pad is another excellent option for infants and toddlers. It adds an additional layer of comfort, and also protects the mattress from accidents and staining. Choose a mattress pad that's less than an inch thick so your child is able to breathe easily. And steer clear of things that are too soft or is adorned with long ribbons, Cot Bed bows and other ornaments that could become detached and pose 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, crib sets and occasionally even a full-size daybed. Some cribs come with conversion kits, while others require a separate purchase.

Some of our top cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib in a sleigh style, which is constructed of solid wood and features one of the taller mattress heights in the group (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a mattress that's low). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, which means it meets the strictest environmental standards for reduced off gassing.

Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes to crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm that fits comfortably and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you place the sheet over it. The mattress should be the right size for the crib and remain in place even after your child grows out of it.

You'll also want to check whether the mattress has substances that could harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical odor. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It confirms that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters and other harmful chemicals.

Other things to consider include how much weight the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. It's likely that you'll be dealing with changing sheets at night So an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we've tested, coming in at 20 lbs. This could be a deal-breaker for certain parents.

Another important thing to consider is if the mattress is dual-sided. Some come with a firm infant side and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress when your child is at the peak of their 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 put the weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn baby on each mattress to see how it reacted. The top mattresses did not sink in this means they provide enough support to prevent your child from falling out of the bed while they sleep or suffocate. Some of the mattresses that we test had a removable cover that can be machine-washed and is water-proof. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the right set of fixed rails. While some cribs for babies offer baby rails with their cribs however, some offer the rails separately. If you opt to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. For example, they should be free of missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should also be able support the weight of your child without being too flimsy. They should also be secured in a secure way so they are not able to be removed by your child.

The crib rails must not only be sturdy, but also fit snugly within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming too fragile and potentially dangerous for your child. Be sure to measure inside the crib frame when buying a crib rail. There are some slight differences in the sizes of the crib. The space should ideally be no more than three fingers.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails are devoid of cut-outs with decorative designs and other adornments that could pose dangers to suffocate your child. You should also avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts, and sheepskins in the crib, because they can cause a dangerous build-up of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS. If you're looking to provide an extra soft surface for sleeping in the crib, consider a crib pad-and-cover combo. The products comprise an upholstered mattress pad, a waterproof lining and an adjustable "skirt" that stretches over the mattress, much like a fitted sheet.

Finally, you'll need purchase the appropriate crib rail guards. These are designed to cushion your baby's head in the event that it falls on the crib railings while you're feeding or cradling him or her beside the bed. They can also help prevent the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's railings that are fixed.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are purely aesthetic and are subject to individual preference, while others -- such as the design 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 lifespan. The best cribs have solid wood construction, comply with various safety standards, and are adaptable to various mattress heights. Certain cribs have special features that make them more efficient like the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to swap the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

In general, you should avoid cribs with decorative cut-outs, or other decorations that could catch on clothing or pose a choking risk for children. Be sure to inspect the crib's hardware frequently for loose bolts or other objects that could get caught on clothing or other objects and present a hazard.

The best rated cribs crib sets come with easy-to-follow directions as well as all the required parts, such as hardware. Most modern cribs can be put together in half an hour or less, and the majority come with all the tools needed.

Look into a convertible crib that can be transformed into a toddler, daybed or a full-size mattress. This is a great buy for families that plan to keep the crib for many years or who have small space in their homes. It's important to keep in mind that certain crib conversion kits require additional items to complete the conversion.

It can be difficult to understand crib hardware, but it's vital for safety and stability. The majority of cribs have an arrangement of rectangular blocks as well as wedges (also known as "shims"), and large chocks called step chocks, all of which are 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 break slowly, which can provide audible warnings prior to failure as more robust wood materials can break up suddenly and Mini Cot Bed with more force. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available, which can be installed more easily because they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
