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

The best cot beds crib sets come with everything you need for your newborn to sleep peacefully from day one. They're machine washable, pre-shrunk and designed to fit tightly around the mattress without bunching--a major safety hazard for babies.

One tester for parents said that she used it through two children and then passed it to a friend and it was a great purchase. Its minimalist design makes it an ideal choice for smaller nursery spaces.

Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a variety of options out there. But picking the right one is more than selecting a cute pattern that will be in line with your preferences. You must also find something that fits snugly and doesn't clump 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 for a long time without fading.

This Avocado set is one of our favorites. It comes with two sheets that are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The sheets are MADE SAFE certified, which is an independent third-party certification that guarantees that the products of the company meet the highest standards of quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk so that they don'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 that your little child is bound to create.

Another great option for newborns and toddlers is a crib mattress pad, which provides an additional layer of comfort while protecting the mattress against accidents and stains. Choose a mattress cover which is less than 1 inch thick to allow your child to breathe. Beware of anything that's too soft or includes long bows, ribbons and other ornaments that could become detached and pose the risk of strangulation.

If you plan to keep your baby in the crib for a considerable amount of time, consider buying a convertible crib. These cot beds can be converted into a toddler bed, or even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs include the conversion kits, whereas other require an extra purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our top picks. It's constructed of solid wood and comes with one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on a low mattress). We love that it's also Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets the strictest environmental standards for reduced off-gassing.

Mattress

Size and firmness are essential when it comes to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm that fits comfortably and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you lay a sheet over it. The mattress should be the appropriate size for the crib and remain in place even after your child has grown out of it.

It is also important to determine whether the mattress has chemicals that may harm your child. You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs) that emit an unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It is a certifiable sign that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

Other aspects to consider are how much the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. You'll likely be dealing with changing sheets at night, so having a surface that is waterproof or wipeable will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the heaviest product we tested, weighing at 20 pounds. This could be a major issue for certain parents.

Another important thing to consider is if the mattress has a dual-sided. Some have a firm infant side and the soft toddler side. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress of your child when they reach the height of normal growth. This is typically 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 placed an 8-pound weight which is slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby on each mattress to see how it responded. The most effective mattresses did not sink in and therefore provide enough support to keep your child from falling out of mattress while sleeping or drowning. The mattresses we test had a removable cover that is machine washable and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them more simple.

Crib Rails

A crib would not be complete without the proper set of fixed rails. While some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails with the crib, others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase them separately, make sure they meet all safety requirements. They must, for instance have no loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child, but not be too flimsy. They must also lock securely into place so they cannot be removed by your child.

The crib rails need to not only be strong but also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too flimsy and potentially dangerous for your child. When purchasing crib rails, make sure to examine the inside of the frame because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. The dimensions should not be larger than three fingers.

You'll also want to ensure that the crib rails are devoid of cut-outs with decorative designs and other adornments that could pose dangers to suffocate your child. Avoid placing quilts, pillows, blankets and sheepskins inside the crib. They can result in an unintentional accumulation of carbon dioxide increasing your baby's SIDS risk. Consider a crib pad and cover to provide a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby. These products consist of mattress pads with an elongated waterproof lining as well as a fitted "skirt" that wraps around the mattress in the same way as an fitted sheet.

You'll also need to make sure you have the correct crib rail guards. These are specifically designed to cushion your baby's head if it happens to hit the crib railings when you're feeding or cradling him or her on the bed. They can also stop the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's fixed side railings.

You'll have to purchase a toddler railing once your child outgrows their crib. This will ensure they are safe in their bed until they are ready to move into a larger bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that works with all cribs that are standard. It's easy to install and meets all safety standards of the CPSC.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are purely aesthetic and are subject to personal preference, however other features like the design of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -could have a significant impact on the user-friendliness of the crib and its lifespan. The best rated cribs cribs have solid wood construction, meet various safety standards, and are easily adaptable to various mattress heights. Certain cribs have unique features that make them more useful such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet that allows you to swap the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

Avoid cribs with decorative cutouts, or other accessories, as they could snag on clothing or create a risk of choking for babies. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other components that could snag on clothing or objects.

The best crib sets come with easy-to-follow instructions and all the essential components, including hardware. The majority of modern cribs can be assembled in a half-hour or less, and most include all the tools required.

You might also want to think about a convertible crib which can transform into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size Cot Bed. This is a good option for families who intend to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have a limited space. It is important to know that certain crib conversion kits require additional items to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be difficult to grasp, but it's essential for safety and stability. Most cribs are equipped with a system of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks called 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 crack slow, which may provide audible warnings before they fail as more robust wood materials can break up suddenly and with more force. The shims and chocks are made of plastic and can also be purchased. They are easier to install, as they do not require drilling into the surface.
