Bedding

There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes down to crib bedding. It's not just about choosing the right pattern that fits your style. You should also make sure the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't gather in areas where it could pose a choking hazard for your child. It should be soft and durable to withstand blowouts from diapers spills, and other messes for a long time without fading.

One of our top picks is this set from Avocado that includes two sheets made of 100% organic cotton that is certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified, an independent third-party certification that ensures Avocado's products meet stringent standards for safety and quality. The sheets are pre-shrunk to ensure that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit on a standard crib (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long).

A few of our favorite cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, made of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights in the group (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified which means it meets strict environmental standards to reduce off gassing.

Mattress

When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and size are crucial. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm, is comfortable and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress must also be the proper size for the crib, and it should stay in place even after your child grows out of it.

Additionally, you'll need to consider if the mattress is made up of chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Look for mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. A good indicator is a CertiPUR US certificate that certifies that the mattress's foam is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, Infant Cot bed formaldehyde, Phthalates that are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other aspects to consider are how much weight the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. A waterproof or wipeable surface is more suitable for cleaning since you'll be changing sheets in the night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the heaviest of the bunch we tested at 20 lbs that could be a problem for certain parents.

Another thing to keep in mind is if the mattress has a dual-sided. Some have a firm infant side and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians recommend flipping your child's mattress once they reach the height of normal growth. This is usually about 12 months old.

We measured the mattresses and then observed how easily they folded to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also put the weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn baby, on each mattress to see how it responded. The top mattresses did not sink and therefore offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of the their bed during sleep or suffocate. Some of the mattresses we tested come with a removable, machine-washable cover that is waterproof and zips closed. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even simpler.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without a set of rails that are fixed. Some furniture companies for babies offer cheap baby cots for sale rails with the crib. Others sell them separately. If you choose to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. They must, for instance be free of missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child without becoming too flimsy. They should also be secured in a secure way so they cannot be removed by your child.

The crib rails must not only be strong and sturdy, but they should also fit within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming too fragile and could be hazardous for your child. When buying a crib rail, be sure to measure the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. The dimensions should be no more than three fingers.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails don't contain any cutouts that are decorative or other embellishments. They could pose a suffocation risk. Avoid placing quilts, pillows or blankets in the crib. These can cause a dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing your baby's SIDS risk. Try a crib cover-and-pad combo if you want a soft sleeping mattress for your baby. These products are made up of a mattress pad made of waterproof material and an elongated "skirt" that fits around the mattress like a fitted sheet.

Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will fit on most cribs that are standard. It's easy to set up and meets all of the CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are only aesthetic and are based on personal taste, but others like the design of the slats that are on the crib or whether it can be converted into a toddler bedcan have a major impact on the user-friendliness of the crib as well as its durability. The most durable cribs are made from solid wood, and meet multiple safety regulations and are easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some cribs come with distinct features that make them more effective like the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to swap the sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib.

You should avoid cribs with ornamental cutouts or other designs, as they could snag on clothing or create the danger of choking babies. Be sure to inspect the crib's hardware frequently for loose bolts and other items that could catch on clothing or other objects and present the risk of injury.

The top crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions and all the necessary components, including hardware. Most modern cribs take a half an hour or less to assemble, and many include all the equipment you'll need.

It is also possible to think about a convertible crib that can transform into daybed, toddler bed or a full-size bed. This is a good choice for families that plan to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have limited space. It is important to know that some crib conversion kit require additional items to complete the process.

It isn't easy to comprehend crib hardware, but it's vital for safety and stability. Most cribs feature an arrangement of rectangular blocks, wedges (also known as "shims") and large chocks called step chocks, all of which are designed to snug up contact points between the crib and its support surface.

Some chocks and shims are constructed of soft woods which crack slowly, and can give warnings that sound before they fail as more robust wood materials may break suddenly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available, and can be installed more easily because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
