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

The best crib sets come with everything you need for your infant to sleep peacefully from the first day. They are pre-shrunk and washable. They are designed to fit snugly around the mattress, without bunching - a major risk to the safety of babies.

One tester for parents said she used hers through two children and then passed it on to a friend which makes it a wise purchase. Its sleek design makes it a perfect choice for minimalist nursery designs.

Bedding

When it concerns crib bedding, there are a variety of options out there. It's not just about picking one that is in line with your style. You also want to ensure that the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't get tangled in places that could create an choking risk to your child. It should also be soft to the touch and durable enough to stand up to months of blowouts in diapers and spit-up without wearing out too quickly.

The Avocado set is one of our top picks. It comes with two sheets made of 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The textiles are also MADE SAFE certified, a non-responsible third-party certification that guarantees that Avocado's products 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 (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable to clean the inevitable mess your little child is bound to make.

Another option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which provides an additional layer of comfort while also protecting the mattress against accidents and staining. Choose a mattress pad that's less than an inch thick to ensure your child is able to breathe easily. Avoid anything that is too fluffy, or with long bows, ribbons, and other adornments. These could fall off and pose an injury to strangulation.

If you plan to keep your baby in the crib for a considerable amount of time, consider buying a convertible crib. These cribs can be converted to a toddler bed, or even a full-size daybed. Some cribs come with the required conversion kits included however, others require a separate purchase.

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

Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes down to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends using a mattress that is firm, fits comfortably and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress must also be of the right size for the crib and it should stay in place even after your child grows out of it.

In addition, you'll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made from chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It confirms that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters and other harmful chemicals.

Other things to think about include how much weight the mattress carries and whether it's waterproof or not. You'll likely have to deal with changing sheets at night, so having a surface that is waterproof or wipeable will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we've tested, coming at 20 pounds. This could be a deal-breaker for some parents.

A mattress that has two sides could have one side that is firm for infants and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress after your child has reached the height of their normal growth. This is typically about 12 months.

We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how easily they folded to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also placed a weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn baby on each mattress to determine how it reacts. The top mattresses did not sink in, which means that they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of their bed during sleep or to suffocate. Some of the mattresses we tried have an easily washable, removable cover that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without the proper set of rails that are fixed. Some baby furniture companies offer baby rails in the crib. Others sell them separately. If you opt to purchase them separately, look for ones that meet all of the safety requirements. For instance, they must be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to withstand your child's weight but not be too thin. They should also be secured in a secure way so they can't be taken away by your child.

The crib rails should not only be strong but also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib. This will keep the mattress from becoming too fragile and potentially hazardous for your child. Be sure to measure inside the crib frame prior to purchasing the crib rail. There are slight variations in the sizes of the crib. The dimensions should be no wider than three fingers.

You should also make sure that the crib rails do not contain any cutouts that are decorative or other ornaments. They could pose the risk of suffocation. Avoid placing quilts, pillows blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. These can cause a dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS in your child. If you're looking to provide a soft sleeping surface in the crib, you can try a crib cover-and-pad combo. They 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 that you have the right crib rail guards. These are designed to cushion the head of your baby if it hits the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them next to the bed. They can also help prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings that are fixed.

You'll need an infant guardrail when your child is no longer in their crib. This will ensure they are safe in their the crib until they are ready for a bigger bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that can be used with most standard cribs. It is simple to install and meets the CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some crib design features are strictly aesthetic and are based on individual preference, while others -- like the style of the slats that are on the crib or whether it can be converted into a toddler bedcan have a major impact on the comfort of the crib as well as its lifespan. The best cribs have solid wood construction, comply with multiple safety standards, and are adaptable to various mattress heights. Some cribs feature distinct features that make them more useful. For example the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without having to take off the entire mattress.

Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs with ornamental cut-outs or other ornaments that could snag on clothes or create a choking risk for children. Also, make sure to check the crib's hardware regularly for loose bolts or objects that could get caught on clothing or other objects and present the risk of injury.

The top crib sets include simple instructions and all the necessary components, including hardware. Most modern cribs take a half an hour or less to put together and a majority come with all the equipment you'll need.

You may also want to think about a convertible crib which can transform into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size bed. This is a great purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for several years or have a small space in their homes. Be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to grasp, but it's essential to ensure security and stability. Most cribs come with a system of rectangular block wedges (also called "shims") and massive chocks referred to as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten the contact points between the crib and the surface that supports it.

Some shims and chocks may be made of soft woods, which break slowly. This could trigger an audible warning prior to when they fail. However, woods that are more rigid may break more suddenly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available and can be easier to install because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
