Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One
The best crib sets come with everything you require for your baby to rest comfortably from the beginning. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to sit comfortably around the mattress, without getting tangled - a major risk to the safety of babies.
One parent tester stated that she used hers for two babies and then passed it to a friend tots and cots it was a great purchase. Its sleek design makes it a great option for smaller nurseries.
Bedding
When it comes to crib bedding, there are a lot of options out there. It's not just about choosing a pattern that matches your personal style. It is also important to ensure that the bedding fits tightly and does not bunch up in areas that could be a choking hazard for your child. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand blowouts from diapers spit up and other messes for months without fading.
This set from Avocado is one of our favorites. It comes with two sheets made with 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The sheets are MADE SAFE certified, an independent third-party certification that guarantees that Avocado's products meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk so that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit on a standard crib bed (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine washable for the inevitable mess your child is bound to create.
A crib mattress pad is another ideal option for babies and toddlers. It adds an extra layer of comfort, and also protects the mattress from accidents and staining. Choose a mattress cover that is less than one inch thick so that your child can breathe. Avoid anything that's too soft or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other ornaments that could detach and pose the risk of strangulation.
Consider purchasing a convertible crib if you intend to keep your baby in the crib for a long period of time. These beds typically convert to a toddler bed and sometimes to full-size beds or a daybed as well. Some cribs come with the required conversion kits included however, others require a separate purchase.
Some of our top ranked cribs cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib in a sleigh style, which is 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). It's also certified Greenguard Gold, which means it meets the strictest environmental standards to reduce emissions of gas.
Mattress
Size and firmness are crucial when it comes down to a crib mattress. The AAP suggests using a firm mattress that is comfortable and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should also be the correct size for the crib and it should stay in place, even after your baby gets out of it.
In addition, you'll want to determine if the mattress is made of substances that could harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs) that emit an unpleasant chemical odor. A good sign is a certificate from CertiPUR-US, which certifies that the foam used in a mattress 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 weight of the mattress and whether or not it's waterproof. You'll likely have to deal with nighttime sheet changes So an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the largest of the bunch we tested at 20lbs, which may be a problem for certain parents.
Another important thing to consider is if the mattress has a dual-sided; some of these include a firm side for infants and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress after your child is at the peak of their normal growth. This is typically around 12 months.
When testing crib mattresses, we examined their weight and how easily they folded and maneuvered to dress the sides with sheets. We also put an 8-pound weight, slightly heavier than a newborn, on each one to observe how much it recoiled. The best ones did not sink this means they provide enough support to prevent your child from falling out of the bed while they sleep or to suffocate. Some of the mattresses that we tested had a cover that was machine-washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning them 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 include a set of baby rails with the crib however, some offer them separately. If you decide to buy them separately, search for ones that meet all of 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 being too fragile. 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 but they must also fit snuggly within the crib frame. This will stop the mattress from becoming fragile and could be dangerous for your child. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame prior to purchasing the crib rail. There are a few slight variations in the sizes of the crib. The dimensions should not be larger than three fingers.
Also, make sure that the crib rails do not contain any cutouts that are decorative or other adornments. They can create an suffocation threat. Avoid placing quilts, pillows blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. These could cause the buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS in your child. Consider a crib cover and pad combination to provide a comfortable sleeping mattress for your baby. They consist of mattress pads with an elongated waterproof lining as well as a fitted "skirt" that wraps over the mattress, much like a fitted sheet.
Lastly, you'll want to purchase the appropriate crib rail protectors. They are designed to cushion the head of your baby if it hits the crib railings while you're feeding him or her or cradling them beside the bed. They also help to prevent dental marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings fixed.
You'll have to purchase a toddler guardrail once your child is no longer in their crib. This will keep them safe in bed until they are ready for a bigger bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will work with most standard cribs. It's easy to install and meets all safety standards of the CPSC.
Crib Hardware
Certain aspects of the crib's design are solely aesthetic or otherwise dependent on personal preference, however other aspects, such as the design of slats, or whether the crib can be converted into an infant bed--can have a major impact on the ease of use as well as how long the crib will last. The best cribs are constructed from solid wood, and meet various safety standards, and can be easily configured to different mattress heights. Some have special features that make them more efficient like the Quick Zip Crib Sheet that allows you to change sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.
You should avoid cribs with decorative cutouts or other embellishments that could catch on clothing or create the risk of choking children. Also, make certain to check the crib's hardware regularly for loose bolts or other objects that could snag on clothing or other objects and create a hazard.
The best crib sets include simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary components, including hardware. Most modern cribs can be assembled in half an hour or less, and they include 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 buy for families that plan to keep the crib for many years or who have small space in their homes. It's important to keep in mind that some crib conversion kits require additional items to fully complete the process.
Crib hardware can be a bit tricky to understand but it's vital for safety and stability. Most cribs have a system consisting of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten up contact points between the crib and supported surface.
Some chocks and shims are made from soft woods that crack slow, which may provide audible warnings before they fail, while stiffer wooden materials could break abruptly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available, and can be easier to install since they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
