They're pre-shrunk and machine washable and designed to fit tightly around the mattress without bunching - a major safety hazard for babies.
One parent testigator said that she used it through two babies and passed it to a friend which makes it a wise purchase. Its sleek design makes it a great option for nursery spaces that are minimalist.
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 personal style. You should also make sure the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't get tangled in places where it could pose the risk of choking your child. It must also be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts in diapers and spit-up, without deteriorating too quickly.
One of our favorite sets is this Avocado set that includes two sheets that are made with 100% organic cotton that is certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified, an independent third-party certification that guarantees Avocado's products meet stringent standards for quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk, which means they won't shrink or stretch after washing, and they're made to fit a standard crib mattress (27 1 The blanket's size is 4 inches wide and 51 5/8 inches long. They're also machine-washable for the inevitable mess your little bundle of joy is sure to make.
Another option for infants and toddlers is a crib mattress pad, that adds a layer of comfort while protecting the mattress against accidents and staining. Look for mattresses that are less than an inch thick so your child is able to breathe easily. Avoid anything that is too soft, or with bows, long ribbons and other adornments. They can fall off and pose an injury to strangulation.
If you plan to keep your baby in a crib for quite some time, think about buying a convertible crib. These beds can be converted into a toddler bed, and sometimes even a full-size or daybed. Some cribs come with conversion kits, while others require a purchase.
This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 sleigh crib is one of our top picks. It's made of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on an unattractive mattress). It's also certified Greenguard Gold, which means it meets strict environmental standards for reduced emissions of gas.
Mattress
Size and firmness are essential when it comes down to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits comfortably and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you put the sheet over it. The mattress should be the right size for the crib and remain in place even when your child is out of it.
You'll also want to check whether the mattress is made up of chemicals that may harm your child. Find mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)–which often emit an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indication is a certificate from CertiPUR-US which confirms that the foam used in a mattress is made without Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, other heavy metals, formaldehyde Phthalates that are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.
Other things to consider are the mattress's weight and whether or not it is waterproof. You'll likely have to deal with changing sheets at night and a waterproof or wipeable surface will make cleaning easier. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the most heavy of the selection we tested at 20 lbs that could be a problem for some parents.
A mattress that has two sides could have an infant side that is firm and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping your child's mattress when they reach the peak of normal growth. This is typically around 12 months.
We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how they could be folded easily to cover the sides of the crib 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 reacts. The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, which means they provide enough support to keep your child from falling or being suffocated in bed. A few of the mattresses we tested come with a removable, machine-washable cover that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them much easier.
Crib Rails
A crib would not be complete without the right set of fixed rails. Some baby furniture companies offer baby rails as part of the crib. Others offer them separately. If you choose to buy them separately, make sure they meet all safety requirements. For instance, they must be free of 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 able to 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 crib frame. This will stop the mattress from becoming too fragile and potentially hazardous for your child. Be sure to measure inside the crib frame before purchasing the crib rail. There are a few slight variations in the crib sizes. The area should not be larger than three fingers.
You'll also want to make sure the crib rails are free of cut-outs for decorative purposes and other ornaments that could pose suffocation hazards. You should also avoid placing pillows, blankets, quilts and sheepskins on the crib, as these can contribute to a dangerous accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS. If you're looking to add a soft sleeping surface in the crib, consider a crib cover-and-pad combo. These products consist of a waterproof mattress pad and a fitted “skirt” that fits around the mattress like the fitted sheet.
You'll also want to make sure you have the right crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the baby's head if it hits the crib railings as you feed them or cradling them on the bed. They also help to prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings fixed.
As your cheap baby cots grows out of the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to keep your child safe in the bed until they're ready for an adult bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will fit on most cribs that are standard. It's easy to install and is compliant with the safety standards of the CPSC.
Crib Hardware
Certain crib design elements are strictly aesthetic and are based on personal taste, but others – like the style of the slats on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bedcould have a significant impact on the comfort of the crib as well as its lifespan. The best crib for newborn cribs are made of solid wood, comply with multiple safety regulations and are easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some cribs come with special features that make them more efficient, such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to swap the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.
Avoid cribs that have ornamental cutouts or other designs that could catch on clothing or create the danger of choking infants. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts and other items that can catch on objects or clothing.
The best crib sets include simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary parts, including hardware. Most modern cribs can be put together in a half-hour or less, and they include all the tools required.
Look into a convertible crib that can be converted into a toddler, daybed or a full-size mattress. This is a great option for families that plan to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have a limited space. You should be aware that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.
Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to grasp but it's vital to ensure security and stability. The majority of cribs are made up consisting of rectangular blocks wedges (also called “shims”) and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They are all designed to tighten up contact points between crib and the surface that supports it.
Some shims or chocks could be made of soft woods that crack slowly. This may give an audible warning before they fail. However, harder woods can break more rapidly and with greater force. Plastic shims or chocks are also available for purchase. They are easier to install, since they don't require drilling into the surface.(Image: https://cdn.freshstore.cloud/offer/images/7098/779/maxi-cosi-tori-2-in-1-co-sleeper-bedside-crib-0-6-months-0-9-kg-ultra-compact-fold-lightweight-5-height-positions-portable-co-sleeper-with-breathable-mesh-travel-cot-beyond-graphite-779.jpg)
