Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a lot of options. It's not just about choosing the right pattern that fits your style. You also want to ensure that the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't gather in areas where it could pose a choking hazard for your child. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand blowouts from diapers, spills and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

One of our top picks is this set from Avocado that includes two sheets made of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party certification that ensures the company's textiles meet rigorous standards for safety and Sale Cot 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). They're also machine washable for the inevitable mess your baby is bound to make.

Another great crib option for infants and toddlers is crib mattress pads, which adds an extra layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and staining.

If you're planning to keep your baby in a crib for a long time, consider buying a convertible crib. They typically convert to a toddler bed and occasionally to a daybed or full-size bed also. Some cribs have the required conversion kits included, but others require a separate purchase.

It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, meaning it complies with strict environmental standards for reduced off gassing.

Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm and fits snugly and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should also be the correct size for the crib, and it should stay in place even after your child gets out of it.

Additionally, you'll need to be aware of whether the mattress is made up of substances that could harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs) which release an unpleasant chemical odor. A good indicator is a CertiPUR-US certificate that 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 and phthalates, which are regulated by Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

A few other things to think about include how much the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. A surface that is waterproof or wipeable is ideal for cleaning, because you'll be changing sheets at night.

A dual-sided mattress may have an infant side that is firm and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians advise flipping the mattress of your child when they reach the peak of normal growth. This usually occurs at around 12 months.

We also placed the weight of 8 pounds, slightly heavier than that of a newborn infant, on each mattress to determine how it responded. The top mattresses did not sink and therefore offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of mattress while sleeping or drowning. Some of the mattresses we tested had a cover that was machine-washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them more simple.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without a set of rails fixed. Some baby furniture companies offer baby rails as part of the crib. Others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase them separately, look for ones that meet all of the safety requirements. They must, for instance, be free of loose or missing screws, brackets, or other hardware. They should also be able to support the weight of your child without becoming too flimsy. They should also to secure themselves so that they cannot be removed from your child.

The crib rails should not only be sturdy and sturdy, but they should also fit within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming too fragile and could be dangerous for your child. When buying crib rails, make sure to take measurements of the inside of the frame because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. The space should ideally be no wider than three fingers.

Also, you should make sure the crib rails are free of decorative cut-outs or other decorations which could be dangers for suffocation. Avoid placing pillows, quilts or blankets in the crib.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are purely aesthetic and are subject to individual preference, while others like the design of the slats that are on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bed- can have a significant impact on the comfort of the crib and its durability. The best cribs are made of solid wood, meet various safety standards and can be easily configured to different mattress heights. Some cribs feature distinct features that make them more useful. For instance, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without having to take off the entire mattress.

You should avoid cribs with decorative cutouts, or other accessories that could catch on clothing or pose the danger of choking infants. Also, make sure to inspect the crib hardware regularly for loose bolts or objects that could get caught on clothing or other objects and present danger.

The top crib sets include simple instructions and all the essential components, like hardware. Modern cribs can be assembled within a half-hour or less, and they come with all the necessary tools.

You might also want to consider a convertible crib that could transform into a toddler bed, daybed, or full-size bed.

It can be difficult to understand crib hardware, but it's essential for security and stability. The majority of cribs are made up of rectangular block, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten the contact points between the crib and supported surface.

Some shims or chocks could be made from soft woods, which crack slowly. This could trigger an audible warning 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 installed more easily because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
