Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a variety of options out there. It's not just about choosing one that is in line with your personal style. You also want to ensure that the bedding is tightly fitted and doesn't bunch up in areas that could be a choking hazard for your child. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand blowouts from diapers spit up and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

One of our top picks is this Avocado set that includes two sheets made with 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified, an independent third-party certification 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 designed to fit on a standard crib mattress (27 1 The blanket's size is 4 inches wide and 51 5/8 inches long. The blankets can be washed in the machine to remove the inevitable mess your little bundle is likely to make.

Another great option for newborns and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and stains. Look for mattress pads that are less than an inch thick, so your child is able to breathe easily. Avoid anything too fluffy, or with long ribbons, bows, and other adornments.

If you plan to keep your baby in a crib for quite some time, you should consider purchasing a convertible crib. These beds can be transformed into a toddler bed, and sometimes even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs come with conversion kits, whereas other require a separate purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 sleigh crib is one of our top picks. It's made of solid wood and has one of the highest mattress heights (for parents worried about reaching an unattractive mattress). 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 to crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm that is comfortable and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you lay sheets over it. The mattress should be of the proper size for the crib and remain in place, even after your child has grown out of it.

In addition, you'll want to determine if the mattress is made of chemicals that could potentially harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs) that emit an unpleasant chemical smell. A good sign 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, and phthalates, which are regulated by Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other aspects to consider are the weight of the mattress and whether or not it is waterproof. You'll likely be dealing with changes to sheets at night and having a surface that is waterproof or wipeable will make cleaning easier.

A mattress with two sides may have a firm side for infants and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress when your child is at the peak of their normal growth, usually at around 12 months.

When testing crib mattresses we measured them and observed how easily they folded and maneuvered to dress the sides with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound weight, slightly heavier than a newborn on each mattress to determine how the mattress reacted. The best mattresses did not sink, which means they provide enough support to keep your child from falling or suffocating in Cot Bed. A few 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 easier.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the proper set of fixed rails. Some baby furniture companies offer baby rails as part of the crib. Others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase them separately, make sure they meet all safety standards. They should, for instance be free of loose or missing screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be strong enough to withstand your child's weight but not be too thin. They should also be able to lock securely into place so they are not able to be removed by your child.

The best crib rails will not only be sturdy They should be able to fit snugly into the crib frame. This will prevent the mattress from becoming fragile, which could be unsafe for your child. When you purchase crib rails, make sure to take measurements of the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. Ideally, the space should not be more than three fingers wide.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails don't include any cutouts with decorative designs or other adornments. They can create an suffocation threat. Avoid placing quilts, pillows blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. These could cause an unintentional buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS in your child. Consider a crib pad and cover for a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby. These products are made up of a waterproof mattress pad and a fitted "skirt", which fits around the mattress in the same way as the fitted sheet.

You'll also want to make sure you have the proper crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion your baby's head when it falls on the crib railings when you're feeding or cradling him/her her on the bed. They can also prevent dental marks and drool staining on the crib's fixed side railings.

You'll have to purchase a toddler guardrail once your child is no longer in their crib. This will ensure they are safe in their cheap cot bed until they are ready to move into a larger bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can fit on most cribs that are standard. It is easy to install and meets CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are strictly aesthetic and subject to personal preference, however other features -- such as the design of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -- can have a significant impact on the comfort of the crib as well as its durability. The best baby cots cribs feature solid wood construction, meet various safety standards, and are adjustable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs feature unique features which make them more efficient. 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 danger of choking infants. Also, make certain to check the crib's hardware regularly for loose bolts and other items that could catch on clothing or other objects and create danger.

The top crib sets include easy-to-follow directions and all the necessary parts, such as hardware. Most modern cribs can be put together in a half-hour or less, and most come with all of the tools required.

It is also possible to think about a convertible crib that could transform into daybed, toddler bed, or full-size bed. This is a great purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for several years or have a limited space in their homes. You should be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be tricky to understand however it is essential to ensure safety and stability. The majority of cribs have an arrangement of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and big chocks referred to as step chocks, all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and supported surface.

Some shims or chocks can be made from soft woods that crack 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. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available and can be easier to install since they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
