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

The best cot beds crib sets come with everything you need for your newborn to sleep soundly from the first day. 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 she used hers through two babies and then passed it on to a friend and it was a great crib purchase. Its sleek design makes it a good option for nursery spaces that are minimalist.

Bedding

When it is time to choose a crib bedding, there are a variety of options out there. It's not only about picking a pattern that matches your aesthetic. You should also ensure that the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't get tangled in places that could be an choking risk to your child. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand blowouts from diapers, spills and other messes for a long time without wearing out.

This set from Avocado is one of our favorite. It contains two sheets that are made from 100% certified organic GOTS cotton. The textiles are also MADE SAFE certified, a non-responsible third party certification that ensures that the products of the company are in compliance with strict standards for quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk so that they don't shrink or 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 little bundle will make.

Another great option for newborns and toddlers is a crib mattress pad, which provides an additional layer of comfort while protecting the mattress from spills and stains. Choose a mattress pad that's less than an inch thick, so your child is able to breathe easily. Avoid anything that's too fluffy or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other ornaments that could become detached and pose the risk of strangulation.

If you're planning to keep your baby in the crib for a considerable amount of time, consider buying a convertible crib. These cot beds can be transformed into a toddler bed, and occasionally even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs come with the necessary conversion kits included but some require an additional purchase.

A few of our favorite cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, made from solid wood and features one of the taller mattress heights (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a mattress that is low). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it complies with stringent environmental standards for reduced off-gassing.

Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes to a crib mattress. The AAP suggests using a mattress that is firm and fits comfortably and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should be of the proper size for the crib and should remain in place, even after your child has grown out of it.

In addition, you'll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made from substances that could harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical odor. A good sign is a certificate from CertiPUR-US, which certifies that the mattress's foam is made without Ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, Phthalates that are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

A few other aspects to consider are how much weight the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. A mattress that is waterproof or able to be cleaned is better for cleaning, because you'll be changing sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the most heavy product we've tested, weighing around 20 lbs. This may be a major issue for some parents.

A dual-sided mattress may have one side that is firm for infants and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress once your child reaches the height of their normal growth, usually at around 12 months.

When testing crib mattresses, we examined their weight and how they folded and moved to dress the sides with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound tin, slightly heavier than a newborn on each one to see how it reacted. The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, meaning they provide enough support to keep your child from falling or getting suffocated. A few of the mattresses we tried have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them easier.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without the right set of fixed rails. Some baby furniture companies offer baby rails with the crib. Others sell them separately. If you choose to buy them separately, search for rails that meet the safety requirements. For example, they should be free of any 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 able be secured in a secure way so that they can't be removed from your child.

The best crib rails will not only be strong but they must also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too fragile and could be risky for your child. When purchasing crib rails, make sure to examine the inside of the frame because there are slight differences in the sizes of cribs. The area should not be larger than three fingers.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails don't have any decorative cutouts or other embellishments. They can create a suffocation risk. Avoid placing pillows, quilts blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. They can result in a dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. Consider a crib pad and cover if you want a soft sleeping surface for your baby. These are comprised of a mattress pad that is waterproof and a fitted "skirt" that can be positioned around the mattress in the same way as an fitted sheet.

Lastly, you'll want to get the right crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the head of your baby if it hits the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them on the bed. They can also prevent dental marks and drool staining on the crib's railings on the sides 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 bed until they're ready to move on to a bigger bed for their child. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that can be used with most standard cribs. It's easy to set up and meets all of the CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are purely aesthetic and are subject to personal taste, but others -- such as the design of the slats that are on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed- can have a significant impact on the comfort of the crib and its lifespan. The most durable cribs are made of solid wood construction, meet multiple safety standards, and are adjustable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs have special features that make them more effective. For example, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to change the sheets without having to take off the entire mattress.

In general, you should avoid cribs with ornamental cut-outs, or other decorations that could catch on clothing or create a choking risk for infants. Also, make certain to check the crib's hardware regularly for loose bolts or other items that could catch on clothing or other objects and present the risk of injury.

The best rated cribs crib cot sets include easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required components including hardware. The majority of modern cribs take half-hour or less to assemble, and a majority include all the tools you'll require.

You may also want to consider a convertible crib that can transform into a daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed, or full-size bed. It's a good purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for a number of years or have a limited space in their homes. Be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be difficult to grasp however it is essential to ensure security and stability. Most cribs feature a system of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and huge chocks, also known as step chocks, all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and its support surface.

Some chocks and shims are made from soft woods that break slowly, which can provide warnings that sound before they fail as more robust wood materials could break abruptly and with greater force. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available and can be easier to install since they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
