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 peacefully from day one. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to fit snugly around the mattress, without bunching - a major danger for infants.
One parent tester stated that she had used hers for two babies, and then passed it on to a friend. This makes it a smart buy. Its minimalist design makes it an ideal choice for small nursery designs.
Bedding
There are many choices when it comes to bedding for your crib. It's not only about picking one that is in line with your style. It is also important to ensure that the sheet fits tightly and does not gather in areas that could create the risk of choking your child. And it has to be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts in diapers and spit-up spills without wearing out too quickly.
One of our favorite sets is this set from Avocado, which contains two sheets made with 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party certification that ensures Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for safety and quality. They're pre-shrunk so they won't stretch or shrink after washing, and they're designed to fit a standard crib mattress (27 1 The blanket's size is 4 inches wide and 51 5/8 inches long. They're also machine-washable to clean the inevitable mess your bundle of joy is sure to make.
A crib mattress pad is a great option for babies and toddlers. It adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and staining. Find a mattress pad that's less than an inch thick, so your child is able to breathe easily. And steer clear of anything that's too soft or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other adornments that can become detached and pose a strangulation risk.
Consider purchasing a convertible crib if want to keep your baby in the crib for a long period of time. These beds usually convert to a toddler bed, and sometimes to a full-size or daybed also. Some cribs come with conversion kits, while others require a purchase.
This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our favorites. It's made of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents worried about reaching a low mattress). It's also certified Greenguard Gold, which means it meets the strictest environmental standards to prevent gassing.
Mattress
Firmness and size are important when it comes down to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a firm mattress which fits snugly, and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you lay a sheet over it. The mattress should be the appropriate size for the crib and should remain in place even when your child is out of it.
In addition, you'll want to consider if the mattress is made of chemicals that could be harmful to your child. You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which release an unpleasant chemical odor. A good indication is a CertiPUR-US certificate that certifies that the foam used in mattresses is made without ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, other heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.
Other factors to consider include the mattress's weight and whether or not it is waterproof. You'll likely have to deal with nighttime sheet changes and a waterproof or wipeable surface will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we tested, weighing around 20 lbs. This could be a deal-breaker for some parents.
A mattress with two sides may have an infant side that is firm and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress after your child reaches the height of their normal growth. This is typically around 12 months.
We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how easily they folded to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also put an 8-pound weight, a bit heavier than a newborn on each mattress to determine how much it recoiled. The top mattresses did not sink in, which means that they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of their bed during sleep or suffocate. Some of the mattresses we tested had a removable cover that is machine washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them easier.
Crib Rails
A crib isn't complete without a set of fixed rails. While some baby furniture companies include a set of baby rails with the crib and others sell them on their own. If you choose to buy them on their own, make sure they meet all safety requirements. They should, for instance have no loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should be strong enough to support your child's weight without being too thin. They should also secure themselves in place so that they cannot be removed by your child.
The right crib rails will not only be strong They should also fit snuggly within the crib frame. This will stop the mattress from becoming too fragile, which could be unsafe for your child. Make sure you measure the crib frame when buying a crib rail. There are some slight differences in the sizes of cribs. The space should ideally be no more than three fingers.
Also, make sure that the crib rails do not have any decorative cutouts or other embellishments. They could pose an suffocation threat. Avoid placing pillows, blankets, quilts and sheepskins in the crib as these can contribute to the carbon dioxide build-up and increase your baby's risk of SIDS. Consider a crib cover and pad combination for a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby. These are comprised of a mattress pad made of waterproof material and a fitted "skirt" that fits around the mattress just like an fitted sheet.
In the end, you'll need to get the right crib rail guards. These are designed to protect the head of your baby if it hits the crib railings while you feed him or her or cradling them next to the bed. They also help prevent dental marks and drool staining on the crib's railings on the sides that are fixed.
You'll need a toddler guardrail once your child is no longer in their crib. This will keep them safe in the crib until they are ready for a bigger bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that is compatible with all cribs that are standard. It's easy to install and meets CPSC safety standards.
Crib Hardware
Some crib design features are strictly aesthetic and are based on individual preference, while others -- like the design of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -- can have a significant impact on the comfort of the crib as well as its durability. The best cribs feature solid wood construction, comply with various safety standards, and are adaptable to various mattress heights. Some cribs come with distinct features that make them more effective, such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.
Avoid cribs that have ornamental cutouts or other designs because they could get caught on clothing or create the risk of choking infants. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that could get caught on clothing or objects.
The best [crib sets](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/) have simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary components, including hardware. Modern cribs typically take half an hour or less to put together and a majority come with all the equipment you'll need.
Look into a convertible crib that can be transformed into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size mattress. It's a good purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for several years or who have limited space in their homes. You should be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional items to complete the process.
Crib hardware can be difficult to comprehend but it's vital for security and stability. Most cribs come with a system consisting of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten up connections between the crib and supported surface.
Some chocks and shims are constructed of soft woods which crack slowly, which can provide audible warnings before they fail and more rigid wood materials may break suddenly and with greater force. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available, which can be installed more easily since they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
