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 cot bed to sleep soundly from the beginning. They're pre-shrunk, machine washable and designed to fit tightly around the mattress without bunching - a serious safety risk for infants.

One parent tester stated that she used hers for two babies and passed it to a friend and it was a great purchase. Its minimalist design makes it an ideal choice for small nurseries.

Bedding

There are a lot of choices when it comes to bedding for your crib. It's not only about picking one that is in line with your aesthetic. It is also important to ensure that the sheet fits tightly and does not get tangled in places where it could pose the risk of choking your child. It should be soft and durable to withstand blowouts from diapers, spills and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

The Avocado set is one of our top picks. It contains two sheets made of 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The fabrics are MADE SAFE certified, an independent third-party certification that assures that Avocado's products meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk to guarantee that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit a standard crib bed (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable to clean the inevitable mess your little baby is bound to make.

A crib mattress pad is another ideal option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and staining. Choose a mattress cover which is less than one-inch thick so that your child can breathe. Avoid anything that is too fluffy, or with long bows, ribbons or other ornaments. These can come off and create an injury to strangulation.

Consider purchasing a convertible crib if you plan to keep your baby in the crib for a long period of time. These cribs can be converted to a toddler bed, or even a full-size daybed. Some cribs come with the required conversion kits included but some require a purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our top picks. It's constructed of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on the mattress from a low position). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified meaning it complies with strict environmental standards to reduce emissions of gas.

Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and size are essential. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm, fits snugly and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should be of the proper size for the crib and should remain in place even after your child has grown out of it.

You should also determine if the mattress contains substances that could harm your child. Choose mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. A good sign is a CertiPUR US certificate, which certifies that the foam used in mattresses is made without Ozone depleters, PBDEs and 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 things to consider are the weight of the mattress and whether or not it's waterproof. A surface that is waterproof or wipeable is more suitable for cleaning since you'll be changing sheets in the night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we've tested, weighing in at 20 lbs. This may be a problem for certain parents.

Another aspect to be aware of is if the mattress is dual-sided; some of these include a firm side for infants and the soft toddler side. Pediatricians suggest flipping the mattress once your child is at the peak of their normal growth, usually around 12 months.

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 best ones did not sink into the mattress, which means that they provide enough support to keep your child from falling out of the their bed during sleep or drowning. Some of the mattresses we tested come with covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips closed. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even easier.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without a set of rails that are fixed. While some baby furniture companies include a set of baby rails along with the crib and others sell them separately. If you opt to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. They should, for instance be free of loose or missing screws, brackets, or other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to withstand your child's weight, but not too thin. They should also be able to secure themselves in place so that they cannot be removed by your child.

The right crib rails will not only be sturdy but they must be able to fit snugly into the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming flimsy and potentially hazardous for your child. When you purchase crib rails, be sure to examine the inside of the frame as there are slight variations in crib sizes. The space should ideally be no more than three fingers.

You'll also want to ensure that the crib rails are devoid of decorative cut-outs and other ornaments which could be dangers for suffocation. Avoid placing pillows, quilts or blankets in the crib. These could cause an unintentional accumulation of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. Consider a crib cover and pad combination for a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby. They consist of a mattress pad with a waterproof lining and a fitted "skirt" that stretches around the mattress like an fitted sheet.

Lastly, you'll want to purchase the appropriate crib rail guards. These are designed to cushion your Baby beds's head in the event that it happens to hit the crib railings while you're feeding or cradling him/her her on the bed. They can also help prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings that are fixed.

You'll need a toddler railing once your child has outgrown their crib. This will keep them safely in the crib until they are ready to move into a larger bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that can be used with the majority of cribs. It is simple to install and complies with CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are strictly aesthetic and are subject to personal preference, however other features -- like the style of the slats that are on the crib or whether it can be converted into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the ease of use of the crib and its lifespan. The best cribs are constructed from solid wood, and meet multiple safety regulations, and can be easily adjusted to various mattress heights. Some cribs feature special features that make them more useful. For instance, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

Avoid cribs that have decorative cutouts or other embellishments that could catch on clothing or create the risk of choking babies. Also, be sure to check the crib's hardware regularly for loose bolts and other objects that could get caught on clothing or other objects and create danger.

The best crib for newborn crib sets come with simple instructions and all the essential components, like hardware. Modern cribs can be put together within a half-hour or less, and the majority come with all of the necessary tools.

It is also possible to consider a convertible crib that can transform into a daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed or a full-size bed. It's a good purchase for families who intend to keep the crib for many years or have a limited space in their homes. Be aware that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to comprehend however it is essential for safety and stability. Most cribs are equipped with an arrangement of rectangular blocks as well as wedges (also known as "shims"), and large chocks called step chocks, all designed to secure the contact points between the crib and supported surface.

Some shims or chocks can be made of soft woods, which 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 and can be installed more easily because they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
