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 infant to sleep peacefully from the first day. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to sit comfortably on the mattress without the risk of bunching, which is a serious risk to the safety of babies.

One parent tester said she used hers through two babies and then passed it to a relative and it was a great purchase. Its minimalist design makes it an ideal choice for smaller nursery spaces.

Bedding

There are plenty of choices when it comes to bedding for your crib. It's not just about picking one that is in line with your style. It is also important to make sure the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't get tangled in places that could be an choking risk to your child. It must also be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of diaper blowouts cots and tots spit-up without wearing out too fast.

One of our top rated cots picks is this set from Avocado, which contains two sheets made of 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party verification that guarantees Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk, which means 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 baby is bound to make.

A crib mattress pad is another ideal option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and shields the mattress from accidents and stains. Select a mattress cover that is less than one-inch thick to allow your child to breathe. And steer clear of anything that's too soft or includes long bows, ribbons and other adornments that can be removed and create a strangulation risk.

You should consider buying a convertible crib if you intend to keep your child in the crib for a long period of time. These cribs can be converted to a toddler bed, or even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs include the conversion kits, whereas other require a purchase.

A few of our most-loved cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 sleigh-style crib, which is made of solid wood and comes with one of the taller mattress heights in the group (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a mattress that is low). We also love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets the strictest environmental standards to reduce off-gassing.

Mattress

Size and firmness are crucial when it comes down to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm that fits comfortably and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you lay the sheet over it. The mattress should be of the proper size for the crib and remain in place, even when your child is out of it.

In addition, you'll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made up of chemicals that could be harmful to your child. Look for a mattress that is odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which frequently emit a noxious chemical smell. A good indication is a CertiPUR US certificate that certifies that the foam used in a mattress 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.

Other things to consider include how much weight the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. A surface that is waterproof or wipeable is better for cleaning, because you'll be changing sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the heaviest product we've tested, coming around 20 lbs. This could be a problem for certain parents.

A mattress that has two sides could have an infant side that is firm and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping your child's mattress when they reach the height of normal growth. This is usually about 12 months old.

When testing crib mattresses, we measured them and observed how they folded and moved 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 most comfortable mattresses did not sink, which means they offer enough support to prevent your child from falling over or getting suffocated. Some of the mattresses we tested had a cover that is machine washable and is water-proof. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them easier.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without a set of rails 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 all of the safety requirements. They must, for instance be free of missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be strong enough to hold your child's weight but not be too thin. They should also be able to secure themselves so that they cannot be removed from your child.

The crib rails you choose should not only be sturdy but they must also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too flimsy and potentially dangerous for your child. Make sure you measure the crib frame prior to purchasing a crib rail. There are some slight differences in the crib sizes. Ideally, the space should not be more than three fingers wide.

You should also make sure that the crib rails do not include any cutouts with decorative designs or other embellishments. They can create an suffocation threat. You should also avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts, and sheepskins in the crib, since they can contribute to an unhealthy accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase your cheap baby cots for sale's risk of SIDS. If you're looking to add an extra soft surface for sleeping in the crib, try a crib cover-and-pad combination. They consist of mattress pads with a waterproof lining and an adjustable "skirt" that wraps around the mattress like a fitted sheet.

In the end, you'll need to get the right crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the head of your baby when it comes into contact with the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them on the bed. They can also stop the formation of marks from teeth and drool 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 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 works with most standard cribs. It's easy to set up and is compliant with the CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are strictly aesthetic and are based on personal preference, however other features -- like the style of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the ease of use of the crib and its lifespan. The most durable cribs are made of solid wood construction, meet various safety standards, and are adjustable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs come with unique features that make them more effective such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib.

Avoid cribs with ornamental cutouts or other designs that could catch on clothing or pose the risk of choking infants. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other components that could snag on clothing or objects.

The best cot newborn crib sets come with simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary parts, including hardware. Most modern cribs take a half hour or less to put together, and many come with all the tools you'll need.

Look into a convertible crib that can be converted into a toddler bed, daybed or full-size mattress. This is a good option for families who intend to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have limited space. It's important to note that certain crib conversion kits require a second purchase to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be difficult to grasp, but it's essential for security and stability. The majority of cribs are made up of rectangular blocks wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks known as step chocks. They are all designed to strengthen the contact points between the crib and the supported surface.

Some shims or chocks can be made of soft woods, which crack slowly. This could trigger an audible warning when they fail. However, harder woods can break more rapidly and with greater force. Plastic shims or chocks can also be purchased. They are easier to install, since they do not require drilling into the surface.
