Bedding
When it comes to crib bedding, there are a variety of options available. It's not just about picking a pattern that matches your aesthetic. It is also important to make sure the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't gather in areas where it could pose the risk of choking your child. It should also be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts from diapers and spit-up, without deteriorating too fast.
One of our favorites is this set from Avocado, which contains two sheets that are made of 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party certification that ensures Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk to ensure they don't shrink or stretch after washing, and are designed to fit on a standard crib mattress (27 1 The size of the blanket is 4 inches wide and 51 5/8 inches long. The blankets can be washed in the machine to clean up the inevitable mess that your baby will create.
Another great option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads that adds a layer of comfort and protects the mattress from accidents and staining.

If you're planning to keep your baby in a crib for quite some time, think about buying a convertible crib. These beds can be converted into a toddler bed, and sometimes even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs come with the necessary conversion kits however, others require an additional purchase.
This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 sleigh crib is one of our top picks. It's made of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on the mattress from a low position). We love that it's also Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets the strictest environmental standards to reduce off-gassing.
Mattress
Size and firmness are essential when it comes down to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm, is comfortable and does not leave an indentation when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should be the appropriate size for the crib and remain in place, even after your child grows out of it.
You should also determine if the mattress contains chemicals that may harm your child. Find a mattress that is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a good sign. It is a certifiable sign that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.
A few other aspects to consider are how much weight the mattress weighs and whether it's waterproof or not. You'll likely have to deal with changing sheets at night So an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the heaviest of the selection we tested at 20lbs that could be a problem for certain parents.
A dual-sided mattress may have one side that is firm for infants and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress of your child when they reach the peak of normal growth. This is typically 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 weight, a bit heavier than a newborn, on each mattress to determine how much it recoiled. The top mattresses did not sink into the mattress and therefore offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of the their bed during sleep or suffocate. Some of the mattresses that we test had a removable cover that is machine washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them much easier.
Crib Rails
A crib would be incomplete without the right set of rails fixed. Some furniture companies for babies provide baby rails as part of the crib. Others offer them separately. If you choose to purchase them separately, look for ones that meet all of the safety requirements. They should, for instance be free of loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be strong enough to withstand your child's weight without being too thin. They should also be able to secure themselves so that they cannot be removed from your child.
The crib rails need to not only be sturdy but also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming flimsy, which can be dangerous for your baby. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame before purchasing the crib rail. There are some slight differences in the crib sizes. The area should be no wider than three fingers.
You should also make sure that the crib rails don't have any decorative cutouts or other embellishments. They can create a suffocation risk. You should also avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts or sheepskins on the crib, as these can contribute to the accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS. If you want to include a soft sleep surface in the crib, try a crib pad and cover combo. The products comprise a mattress pad with waterproof lining and a fitted "skirt" that wraps around the mattress like a fitted sheet.
It is also important to make sure you have the right crib rail guards. They are specifically designed to cushion your Baby Cot Bed's head when it falls on the crib railings while feeding or cradling him or her in bed. They can also stop teeth 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 for a bigger bed for their child. Sweetpea Baby cots offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will work with most standard cribs. It's easy to set up and meets all CPSC's safety standards.
Crib Hardware

The best cot bed cribs are constructed from solid wood, and meet numerous safety standards, and can be easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some cribs have distinct features that make them more efficient. For instance the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without removing the entire mattress.
Generally, you want to avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs or other embellishments which could get caught on clothes or pose a risk of choking for children. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts, as well as other items that can catch on clothing or other objects.
The best crib sets include simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary parts, including hardware. Modern cribs typically take half hour or less to put together, and many include all the tools you'll need.
You may also want to think about a convertible crib that could transform into daybed, toddler bed or a full-size bed.

It is important to know that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process.
Crib hardware can be difficult to grasp however it is essential for security and stability. The majority of cribs have a system of rectangular blocks and wedges (also called "shims") and big chocks referred to as step chocks, all of which are designed to snug up contact points between the crib and supported surface.
Some chocks and shims are made from soft woods that break slow, which may provide warnings that sound before they fail as more robust wood materials may break suddenly and with more force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available, and are easier to install because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
