Crib cot sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best cribs include everything your baby needs to rest comfortably from the beginning. They're machine washable, pre-shrunk and designed to fit tightly around the mattress without bunching - a significant safety risk for babies.

One tester for parents said that she had used it for two babies and then passed it on to another friend. This makes it a good investment. Its sleek design makes it a great option for nurseries with minimalist designs.

Bedding

There are a lot of options to choose from when it comes down to bedding for your crib. It's not just about choosing one that is in line with your personal style. You should also ensure that the sheet is fitted tightly and doesn't gather in areas that could create an choking risk to your child. It is important to choose a soft and durable material to withstand blowouts from diapers spit up and other messes over the course of months without fading.

This Avocado set is one of our favorite. It includes two sheets that are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The textiles are also MADE SAFE certified, a non-responsible third-party certification that assures that the company's products meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk, which means they won't stretch or shrink after washing, and they're designed to fit a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed to remove the inevitable mess your baby will create.

A crib mattress pad is another great option for babies and toddlers. It adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and staining. Choose a mattress cover that is less than one inch thick to let your child breathe. Avoid anything too fluffy, or with bows, long ribbons or other ornaments. These could fall off and pose a strangulation hazard.

Consider buying a convertible crib if you plan to keep your child in the crib for a long period of time. These cribs can be converted to a toddler bed, and occasionally even a full-size daybed. Some cribs have the required conversion kits included however, others require an additional purchase.

Some of our top cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, constructed of solid wood and has one of the taller mattress heights in the group (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a mattress that is low). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it complies with stringent environmental standards to prevent off-gassing.

Mattress

Size and firmness are crucial when it comes to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends using a mattress that is firm, fits comfortably and Affordable Cots does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should be the proper 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 be harmful to your child. Find mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a good sign. It certifies that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

Other factors to consider include the weight of the mattress and whether or not it is waterproof. You'll likely be dealing with changes to sheets at night and an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the most heavy of the bunch we tested at 20 lbs that could be a nagging issue for some parents.

A mattress that has two sides could have a firm side for infants and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress once your child has reached the height of their normal growth, which is usually about 12 months.

When testing crib mattresses, we weighed them and looked at how they could fold and move to dress the sides with sheets. We also put an 8-pound weight, a bit heavier than a newborn on each one to observe how much it recoiled. The best mattresses did not sink, which means they have enough support to keep your child from falling or being suffocated in bed. A few of the mattresses we tested come with an easily washable, removable cover that is waterproof and zips closed. This makes cleaning and maintaining them easier.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without the proper set of rails that are fixed. While some cribs for babies include a set of baby rails with their cribs, others offer them separately. If you choose to buy them separately, search for ones that meet the safety requirements. They should, for instance, be free of loose or missing screws, brackets, or other hardware. They should also be able to support the weight of your child without becoming too flimsy. They should also be able to secure themselves so that they cannot be removed from your child.

The best crib rails will not only be strong They should also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming too flimsy and potentially hazardous for your child. When you purchase crib rails, be sure to take measurements of the inside of the frame as there are slight variations in the size of cribs. The ideal space should be no more than three fingers wide.

Also, make sure that the crib rails do not include any cutouts with decorative designs or other adornments. These can pose an suffocation threat. Avoid placing pillows, blankets, quilts and sheepskins in the crib since they can contribute to an unhealthy accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS. Consider a crib cover and pad combination if you want a soft sleeping surface for your baby. These products consist of a mattress pad made of waterproof material and an elongated "skirt" that can be positioned around the mattress just like a fitted sheet.

In the end, you'll need to get the right crib rail guards. They are specifically designed to cushion your baby's head when it hits the crib railings when you're feeding or cradling him/her her in bed. They can also stop dental marks and drool staining on the crib's fixed side railings.

Once your infant outgrows the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to ensure your child's safety in the crib until they're ready for a big kid bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can work with most standard cribs. It's easy to set up and is compliant with the CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain aspects of the crib's design are purely aesthetic or are subject to personal preference, but others--such as the style of slats or whether the crib converts to a toddler bed--can have significant influence on the ease of use as well as how long the crib will last. The best cribs have solid wood construction, comply with numerous safety standards, and are easily adaptable to various mattress heights. Certain cribs have special features that make them more effective like the Quick Zip Crib Sheet that allows you to swap the sheets without taking 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 infants. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other components that could snag on objects or clothing.

The best crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required parts, including hardware. Most modern cribs take a half hour or less to assemble, and a majority include all the equipment you'll need.

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

Crib hardware can be tricky to understand, but it's essential for safety and stability. Most cribs feature an arrangement of rectangular blocks as well as wedges (also known as "shims"), and huge chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to ensure that contact points are secure between the crib and its support surface.

Some chocks and shims are made from soft woods that crack slowly, which can provide warnings that sound before they fail and more rigid wood materials may break suddenly and with greater force. Shims tots and cots chocks made of plastic are also available for purchase. They are easier cots to tots install, since they do not require drilling into the surface.
