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

The best cot bed crib sets come with everything you need for your infant to rest comfortably from the first day. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to fit snugly on the mattress without getting tangled - a major risk to the safety of babies.

One parent testigator said that she used it through two babies and then passed it on to a friend which makes it a wise purchase. Its minimalist design makes it a perfect choice for smaller nursery designs.

Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a lot of options out there. But choosing the right sheet is more than just picking a cute pattern to fit your style. You need to find one that is firmly fitted and doesn't bunch up in places where it could be a risk of suffocation for your baby. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand diaper blowouts, spills, and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

The Avocado set is one of our favorite. It includes two sheets made of 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The sheets are MADE SAFE certified, which is an independent third party certification that ensures that the company's products are in compliance with strict standards for quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk, which means they won't stretch or shrink after washing, and they're made to fit a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets are machine washable to clean up the inevitable mess your little bundle is likely to make.

Another great option for newborns and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which adds an extra layer of comfort while also protecting the mattress from spills 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 has long ribbons, bows and other ornaments that could be removed and create a strangulation risk.

Consider buying an adjustable crib if you intend to keep your baby in the crib for a long period of time. These beds can be converted into a toddler bed, and sometimes even a daybed or full-size. Some cribs have the required conversion kits included however, others require a separate purchase.

Some of our top cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, constructed of solid wood and comes with one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a mattress that is low). It's also certified Greenguard Gold, which means it meets the strictest environmental standards to prevent off gassing.

Mattress

Size and firmness are crucial when it comes to crib mattress. The AAP suggests using a mattress that is firm, fits snugly and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress must also be the correct size for the crib and it should remain in place even after your child is old enough to leave it.

You should also determine if the mattress contains chemicals that could harm your child. You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indication is a certificate from CertiPUR-US which confirms 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.

Other things to consider include how much the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. A waterproof or wipeable surface is better for cleaning, because you'll be changing sheets every night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the heaviest product we've tested, weighing at 20 pounds. This may be a major issue for certain parents.

A mattress with two sides may have one side that is firm for infants and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping your child's mattress once they reach the peak of normal growth. This is usually about 12 months old.

When testing crib mattresses, we examined their weight and how they folded and moved to dress the sides with sheets. We also put a weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn baby on each mattress to determine how it responded. The best mattresses did not sink, meaning they have enough support to keep your child from falling or getting suffocated. Some of the mattresses that we test had a removable cover that was machine-washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them easier.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the right set of rails that are fixed. While some baby furniture companies offer baby rails with the crib however, some offer them on their own. If you decide to purchase them separately, make sure they meet all safety requirements. They should, for instance have no loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to hold your child's weight but not be too thin. They should also be secured in a secure way to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

The crib rails must not only be strong and sturdy, but they should also fit within the frame of the crib. This will stop the mattress from becoming too fragile and potentially risky for your child. When buying crib rails, be sure to examine the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. The area should be no wider than three fingers.

You should also make sure that the crib rails do not include any cutouts with decorative designs or other ornaments. They could pose an suffocation threat. Avoid placing quilts, pillows or blankets in the crib. These could cause a dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide increasing the risk of SIDS in your child. Try a crib cover-and-pad combo for a comfortable sleeping mattress for your baby. These are comprised of a mattress pad that is waterproof and a fitted "skirt" that fits around the mattress like the fitted sheet.

Finally, you'll need purchase the appropriate crib rail protectors. These are designed to cushion the head of your child in the event that it falls on the crib railings when you're feeding him or her or cradling them next to the bed. They can also stop dental marks and drool staining on the crib's side railings that are fixed.

As your baby grows out of the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to keep your child safely in their bed until they're ready to move on to an adult bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that works with most standard cribs. It's simple to install and meets all of the CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are strictly aesthetic and subject to individual preference, while others -- like 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 longevity. The best cribs have solid wood construction, meet multiple safety standards, and are easily adjustable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs feature unique features which make them more useful. For instance the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress.

In general, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs or other ornaments which could get caught on clothes or pose a choking risk for children. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts, as well as other items that could get caught on objects or clothing.

The best crib sets have easy-to-follow instructions and all necessary parts including hardware. The majority of modern cribs can be assembled within a half-hour or less, and most come with all the tools needed.

You might also want to consider a convertible crib that could transform into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size Mini Cot Bed. This is a good choice for families who plan to use the crib for many years or have limited space. It's important to keep in mind, though, that some crib conversion kits require a second purchase to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be difficult to comprehend but it's vital to ensure security and stability. The majority of cribs are made up of rectangular block wedges (also known as "shims") and large chocks known as step chocks. They're all designed to strengthen the contact points between crib and the surface that supports it.

Some shims and chocks may be made of soft woods, which break slowly. This may give an audible warning prior to when they fail. However, harder woods may break more suddenly and with greater force. Plastic shims or chocks are also available for purchase. They are simpler to install, as they don't require drilling into the surface.
