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

The best infant cribs crib sets come with everything you require for your baby to rest comfortably from day one. They're pre-shrunk and machine washable and designed to be able to sit 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, making it a smart purchase. Its sleek design makes it a good choice for minimalist nurseries.

Bedding

There are plenty of options when it comes to crib bedding. But picking the right one is more than simply selecting a cute pattern that will match your aesthetic; you must also find something that fits snugly and doesn't bunch into places that could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It must also be soft to the touch and durable enough to withstand months of blowouts in diapers and spit-up without wearing out too quickly.

One of our favorites is this Avocado set, which contains two sheets made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party verification that guarantees the company's textiles meet rigorous standards for safety and quality. They're pre-shrunk to ensure they don't shrink or stretch after washing, and they're made to fit a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed in the machine to clean up the inevitable mess your baby will create.

Another great option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and stains. Find mattress pads that are less than an inch thick to ensure your child is able to breathe easily. Beware of anything that's too fluffy or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other adornments that could be removed and create the risk of strangulation.

Consider purchasing a convertible crib if you want to keep your baby in the crib for a long time. They typically convert into a toddler bed and occasionally to full-size beds or a daybed, too. Some cribs come with the necessary conversion kits however, others require a separate purchase.

Some of our top cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib in a sleigh style, which is constructed of solid wood and has one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, meaning it complies with strict environmental standards for reduced gassing.

Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends using a mattress that is firm, is comfortable and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should be the right size for the crib and should remain in place, even after your child grows out of it.

It is also important to determine whether the mattress is made up of substances that could harm your child. You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical odor. A good indication is a CertiPUR US certificate which confirms that the foam used in mattresses is made without Ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, Phthalates that are 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. A waterproof or wipeable surface is better for cleaning, since you'll have to change sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the largest of the ones we tested at 20 pounds that could be a problem for certain parents.

A mattress that has two sides could have one side that is firm for infants and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress once your child has reached the height of their normal growth, usually around 12 months.

When we tested crib mattresses, we weighed them and looked at how they could fold and move to dress the sides with sheets. We also put a weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn baby on each mattress to see how it reacts. The best baby cots mattresses did not sink, meaning they have enough support to stop your child from falling off or getting suffocated. Some of the mattresses we tested have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them easier.

Crib Rails

A crib would be incomplete without the right set of rails fixed. Some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails with the crib. Others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase the rails separately, ensure that they meet all safety requirements. For instance, they should be free of missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to support your child's weight, but not too thin. They should also be able to lock securely into place so they are not able to be removed by your child.

The right crib rails will not only be strong, they should also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too fragile and potentially dangerous for your child. When you purchase crib rails, make sure to examine the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. Ideally, the space should be no more than three fingers wide.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails are free of cut-outs with decorative designs or other decorations, which can be potential dangers for suffocation. Avoid placing pillows, quilts, blankets and sheepskins inside the crib. They can result in an unintentional buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. Try a crib cover-and-pad combo for a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby. The products comprise mattress pads with an elongated waterproof lining as well as a fitted "skirt" that stretches around the mattress like a fitted sheet.

In the end, you'll need to purchase the appropriate crib rail guards. These are designed to cushion the baby's head when it comes into contact with the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them next to the cheap cot bed. They can also stop teeth marks and drool staining on the crib's railings on the sides that are fixed.

You'll need to purchase a toddler railing once your child is no longer in their crib. This will ensure they are safe in their the crib until they are ready to move into a larger bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can work with most standard cribs. It's easy to set up and meets all CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are purely aesthetic and subject to individual preference, while others -- such as the design of the slats that are on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler infant cot bed- can have a significant impact on the user-friendliness of the crib as well as its lifespan. The most durable cribs are made from solid wood, and meet multiple safety regulations and are easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some have special features that make them more effective such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to swap the sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib.

Avoid cribs that have decorative cutouts, or other accessories because they could get caught on clothing or create the danger of choking infants. Also, make certain to check the crib's hardware frequently for loose bolts or objects that could get caught on clothing or other objects and create the risk of injury.

The top crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required parts, such as hardware. 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 daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed, or full-size bed. It's a good purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for many years or have a little space in their homes. It's important to note that certain crib conversion kits require a second purchase to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be tricky to understand but it's vital for safety and stability. Most cribs feature a system of rectangular blocks and wedges (also known as "shims"), and big chocks referred to as step chocks. They're all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and supported surface.

Some shims or chocks could be made of soft woods, which break slowly. This could trigger an audible warning prior to when they fail. However, stiffer woods might break more quickly and with greater force. Shims and chocks made of plastic can also be purchased. They are much easier to install, since they do not require drilling into the surface.
