Bedding

When it is time to choose a crib bedding, there are a variety of options out there. It's not just about picking a pattern that matches your aesthetic. You should also ensure that the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't gather in areas that could create an choking risk to your child.

You should consider buying a convertible crib if intend to keep your baby in the crib for a long period of time. These beds usually convert to a toddler bed, and sometimes to a full-size or daybed as well. Some cribs include the conversion kits, while others require an extra purchase.

Some of our top rated cots cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, made from solid wood and has one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a low mattress). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets the strictest environmental standards to prevent off-gassing.

Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and sizing are essential. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm, fits snugly and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress must also be the correct size for the crib, and it should stay in place, even after your baby is old enough to leave it.

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

A few other things to consider include how much the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. It's likely that you'll be dealing with changes to sheets at night, so an easily wipeable or waterproof surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we've tested, coming in at 20 lbs. This may be a deal-breaker for some parents.

A mattress with two sides may have one side that is firm for infants and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians advise flipping the mattress of your child when they reach the height of normal growth. This is typically 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 a weight of 8 pounds which was slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby, on each mattress to observe how it reacted. The top mattresses did not sink, meaning they have enough support to stop your child from falling or suffocating in bed. The mattresses we test had a removable cover that was machine-washable and is water-proof. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the right set of rails fixed. While some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails with their cribs and others sell them separately. If you decide to buy them separately, search for rails that meet the safety requirements. They should, for example, be free of missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should also be able to support the weight of your child, but not be too flimsy. They should also secure themselves in place so that they can't be taken away by your child.

The crib rails must not only be strong and sturdy, but they should also fit within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too flimsy, which can cause harm to your baby. When purchasing crib rails, make sure to examine the inside of the frame, as there are slight variations in the size of cribs. The area should not be larger than three fingers.

You should also make sure that the crib rails do not contain any cutouts that are decorative or other embellishments. These can pose an suffocation threat. Avoid placing pillows, quilts, blankets and sheepskins inside the crib. They can result in a dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. If you're looking to add a soft sleep surface in the crib, consider a crib pad-and-cover combination. They consist of a mattress pad with waterproof lining and an adjustable "skirt" that wraps around the mattress in the same way as a fitted sheet.

You'll also need to make sure you have the proper crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the head of your child in the event that it falls on the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them on the bed. They also can help avoid dental marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings that are fixed.

Once your infant outgrows the crib, you'll require a toddler guard rail to keep your child safely in their bed until they're ready for a bigger bed for their child. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will work with most standard cribs. It's simple to install and is compliant with the CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are purely aesthetic and are subject to individual preference, while others like the style of the slats on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the user-friendliness of the crib as well as its lifespan. The most durable cribs are made of solid wood construction, comply with multiple safety standards, and are easily adjustable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs have special features that make them more effective. For instance the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to change the sheets without having to take off the entire mattress.

In general, you should avoid cribs with decorative cut-outs or other ornaments that could snag on clothes or create a choking risk for children. Also, be sure to inspect the crib's hardware frequently for loose bolts or objects that could snag on clothing or other objects, tots and cots pose danger.

The best crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required components, including hardware. The majority of modern cribs can be put together within a half-hour or less, and most come with all the tools needed.

You might also want to consider 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 a number of years or who have small space in their homes. It is important to remember that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases to fully complete the process.

Crib hardware can be tricky to understand but it's vital for safety and stability. The majority of cribs are made up 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 crib and the surface that supports it.

Some chocks and shims are constructed from soft woods that break slowly, which can provide audible warnings before they fail, while stiffer wooden materials may break suddenly and with more force. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available, which can be easier to install because they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
