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

The best infant cribs crib sets come with everything you need for your infant to rest comfortably from day one. They're pre-shrunk, machine washable and designed to fit snugly around the mattress without bunching - a significant safety risk for babies.

One parent tester stated that she used hers for two children and then passed it on to a friend which makes it a wise purchase. Its sleek design makes it a great option for small nursery designs.

Bedding

When it is time to choose a crib bedding, there are a variety of options. But picking the right one is more than just picking a cute pattern to fit your style. You also want something that fits tightly and doesn't bunch up in places where it could be a risk of suffocation for your baby. It should also be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of diaper blowouts and spit-up without wearing out too quickly.

One of our top picks is this Avocado set, which contains two sheets made of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and MADE SAFE-certified, an independent third-party verification that guarantees Avocado's fabrics meet strict standards for safety and quality. The sheets are pre-shrunk to ensure that they don't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit a standard crib bed (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed in the machine to get rid of the inevitable mess that your little bundle will make.

Another great option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which provides an additional layer of comfort while protecting the mattress from spills and stains. Choose mattress pads that are less than an inch thick so your child is able to breathe easily. Beware of anything that's too soft or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other adornments that could detach and pose a strangulation risk.

If you're planning to keep your baby in a crib for quite some time, you should consider purchasing a convertible crib. These beds usually convert to a toddler bed and sometimes, to a daybed or full-size Cot Bed, too. Some cribs include the conversion kits, while others require a purchase.

A few of our favorite cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib in a sleigh style, which is made from solid wood and comes with one of the taller mattress heights (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified meaning it complies with strict environmental standards for reduced gassing.

Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes down 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 sheets over it. The mattress should be of the proper size for the crib and should remain in place after your child has grown out of it.

In addition, you'll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made from substances that could harm your child. Find a mattress that is free of volatile organic compound (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical smell. A good sign is a CertiPUR-US certificate which confirms that the mattress's foam is made without Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, other heavy metals, formaldehyde phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other things to consider include how much weight the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. You'll likely be dealing with changing sheets at night So an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the heaviest of the ones we tested at 20 pounds, which may be a problem for some parents.

A dual-sided mattress may have an infant side that is firm and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians advise flipping your child's mattress when they reach the peak of normal growth. This is typically at around 12 months.

When testing crib mattresses we measured them and observed how they folded and moved to dress the sides with sheets. We also put an 8-pound tin, slightly heavier than a newborn on each one to see how much it recoiled. The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, meaning they provide enough support to prevent your child from falling off or suffocating in bed. A few of the mattresses we tried have a removable, machine-washable cover that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib would not be complete without the right set of rails fixed. While some cribs for babies offer baby rails along with the crib however, some offer them separately. If you opt to buy them separately, search for ones that meet the safety requirements. For instance, they should be free of missing or 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 able to lock securely into place so they can't be taken away by your child.

The best infant cribs crib rails will not only be strong but they must be able to fit snugly into the frame of the crib. This will keep the mattress from becoming too fragile, which could be dangerous for your baby. When you purchase crib rails, make sure to measure the inside of the frame because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. The area should not be larger than three fingers.

Also, you should ensure that the crib rails are free of decorative cut-outs and other ornaments which could be dangers for suffocation. Avoid placing pillows, quilts or blankets in the crib. These can cause a dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide increasing your baby's SIDS risk. Consider a crib cover and pad combination if you want a soft sleeping mattress for your baby. The products comprise a mattress pad with an elongated waterproof lining as well as a fitted "skirt" that stretches around the mattress in the same way as an fitted sheet.

It is also important to ensure that you have the proper 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 in bed. They also help to prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings fixed.

Once your infant outgrows the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in the crib until they're ready to move on to a big kid bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that can be used with all cribs that are standard. It's easy to install and meets the CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain aspects of the crib's design are purely aesthetic or are subject to personal preference, but others--such as the style of slats or whether the crib can be converted into an infant best cot bed--can have a major influence on the ease of use and how long the crib will last. The best baby cots cribs have solid wood construction, comply with numerous safety standards, and are easily configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Some have unique features that make them more useful such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib.

In general, you should avoid cribs with decorative cut-outs, or other decorations which could get caught on clothes or pose a choking risk for children. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other components that can catch on clothing or other objects.

The best crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required parts, including hardware. Most modern cribs can be assembled in half an hour or less, and most include all the tools needed.

Think about a convertible crib that can be transformed into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size mattress. This is a great purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for several years or who have small space in their homes. It is important to know that some crib conversion kits require additional items to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be difficult to grasp, but it's essential to ensure security and stability. Most cribs feature an arrangement of rectangular blocks, wedges (also known as "shims") and huge chocks, also known as step chocks, all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and the supported surface.

Some shims or chocks could be made from soft woods that crack slowly. This can give an audible warning before they fail. However, woods that are more rigid might break more quickly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available, which can be installed more easily because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
