Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One
The best rated cribs crib sets come with everything you require for your baby to sleep soundly from the first day. They're machine washable, pre-shrunk and designed to fit snugly around the mattress without bunching - a serious safety risk for infants.
One tester for parents said that she had used it for two babies and then passed it on to a different friend. This made it a smart buy. Its minimalist design makes it an ideal choice for smaller nurseries.
Bedding
There are a lot of options to choose from when it comes down to crib bedding. But picking the right one is more than just choosing a cute design to match your aesthetic; you also want something that fits tightly and doesn't bunch into places that could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand blowouts from diapers, spills, and other messes for a long time without fading.
The Avocado set is one of our favorites. It includes two sheets that are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The sheets are MADE SAFE certified, a non-responsible third-party certification that assures that Avocado's products meet the highest standards of quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk so 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). They're also machine-washable to clean the inevitable mess your little baby is bound to create.
A crib mattress pad is a great option for babies and toddlers. It adds an additional layer of comfort, and also protects the mattress from spills and staining. Select a mattress cover that is less than 1 inch thick so that your child can breathe. Avoid anything that is too fluffy, or with long bows, ribbons and other adornments. They can fall off and pose the risk of strangulation.
Consider purchasing an adjustable crib if you plan to keep your child in the crib for a long time. These cheap cot beds usually convert to a toddler bed and occasionally to a daybed or full-size bed as well. Some cribs have the necessary conversion kits but some require a separate purchase.
This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our top picks. It's made of solid wood and has one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on a low mattress). It's also certified Greenguard Gold, meaning it complies with strict environmental standards to prevent gassing.
Mattress
When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and size are essential. The AAP recommends using a firm mattress that is comfortable and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should be of the proper size for the crib and remain in place, even after your child has grown out of it.
Additionally, you'll need to determine if the mattress is made from chemicals that could be harmful to your child. You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs) that emit an unpleasant chemical odor. A good indication is a CertiPUR US certificate that certifies that the mattress's foam is free of ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.
Other aspects to consider are the mattress's weight and whether or not it's waterproof. A mattress that is waterproof or able to be cleaned is ideal for cleaning, because you'll be changing sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the heaviest of the bunch we tested at 20lbs which could be a problem for certain parents.
A mattress that has two sides could have a firm side for infants and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians suggest flipping your child's mattress once they reach the peak of normal growth. This usually occurs at around 12 months.
We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how they were able to fold easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound weight, a bit heavier than a newborn on each one to observe how much it recoiled. The top mattresses did not sink, which means they offer enough support to stop your child from falling over or being suffocated in bed. The mattresses we tested had a cover that can be machine-washed and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them easier.
Crib Rails
A crib can't be complete without the proper set of fixed rails. While some cribs for babies offer Baby Cot rails with the crib, others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase the rails separately, ensure that they meet the safety standards. For instance, they must be free of missing or loose screws, brackets or other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child without becoming too flimsy. They should also be able to secure themselves in place so that they are not able to be removed by your child.
The right crib rails will not only be sturdy but they must also fit snuggly within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too fragile and potentially risky for your child. When buying a crib rail, be sure to examine the inside of the frame, since there are slight variations in crib sizes. The dimensions should be no wider than three fingers.
You'll also want to make sure the crib rails are devoid of cut-outs with decorative designs and other adornments, which can be potential dangers for suffocation. You should also avoid placing pillows, blankets, quilts and sheepskins in the crib, because they can cause a dangerous carbon dioxide build-up and increase the risk of SIDS. If you're looking to provide a soft sleep surface in the crib, you can try a crib pad-and-cover combo. These products are made up of a mattress pad made of waterproof material and a fitted "skirt" that fits around the mattress like an fitted sheet.
It is also important to make sure you have the proper crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion the head of your child when it comes into contact with the crib railings as you're feeding him or her or cradling them beside the cot bed sales. They also help to prevent dental marks and drool discoloration on the crib's fixed railings.
When your child is no longer in the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in their bed until they're ready to move on to a big kid bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will fit on most cribs that are standard. It is simple to install and meets CPSC safety standards.
Crib Hardware
Certain aspects of the crib's design are only aesthetic or subject to personal preference, but others--such as the style of slats or whether a crib can be converted into an adult bed--can have a significant influence on the ease of use and the length of time the crib will last. The best rated cribs cribs feature solid wood construction, meet various safety standards, and are configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs feature special features that make them more efficient. For example, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without having to take off the entire mattress.
You should avoid cribs with decorative cutouts or other embellishments that could catch on clothing or pose the risk of choking infants. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts, as well as other items that can catch on objects or clothing.
The best crib sets (read on) come with easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required parts including hardware. Most modern cribs can be assembled in a half-hour or less, and the majority come with all the tools needed.
Think about a convertible crib that can be converted into a toddler, daybed or full-size mattress. This is a great purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for several years or have limited space in their homes. It's important to note, though, that some crib conversion kits require additional items to fully complete the process.
It can be difficult to comprehend crib hardware, but it is essential to ensure safety and stability. Most cribs feature a system of rectangular blocks and wedges (also known as "shims") and huge chocks, also known as step chocks, all of which are designed to secure the contact points between the crib and supported surface.
Some shims and chocks are made from soft woods that break slow, which may provide warnings that sound before they fail as more robust wood materials can break up suddenly and with greater force. Shims and chocks made of plastic can also be purchased. They are easier to install since they do not require drilling into the surface.
