Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a variety of options available. It's not only about picking one that is in line with your style. It is also important to ensure that the bedding is fitted tightly and doesn't get tangled in places that could be a choking hazard for your child. And it has to be soft to the touch and durable enough to withstand months of diaper blowouts and spit-up, without deteriorating too fast.

The Avocado set is one of our top picks. It includes two sheets that are made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The fabrics are MADE SAFE certified, an independent third party certification that ensures that Avocado's products meet the highest standards of quality and Cot Bed safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk to guarantee 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). The blankets can be washed in the machine to remove the inevitable mess that your little bundle will make.

A crib mattress pad is a ideal option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and protects the mattress from accidents and stains. Select a mattress cover that is less than 1 inch thick to let your child breathe. Beware of anything that's too fluffy or has long ribbons, bows and other ornaments that could detach and pose the risk of strangulation.

If you're planning to keep your baby in a crib for quite some time, you should consider purchasing a convertible crib. These beds usually convert to a toddler bed and sometimes to a daybed or full-size bed as well. Some cribs include the conversion kits, while others require an extra purchase.

The mattresses we tested had a removable cover that can be machine-washed and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even easier.

Crib Rails

A crib would not be complete without the correct set of rails fixed. Some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails in the crib. Others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase the rails separately, ensure that they meet all safety requirements. For example, they should be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should also be able to support the weight of your child without becoming too fragile. They must also be secured in a secure way so they are not able to be removed by your child.

The crib rails should not only be strong, but also fit snugly within the frame of the crib. This will stop the mattress from becoming fragile and potentially dangerous for your child. When purchasing a crib rail, be sure to take measurements of the inside of the frame since there are slight variations in the sizes of cribs. Ideally, the space should be no more than three fingers wide.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails don't contain any cutouts that are decorative or other ornaments. These can pose the risk of suffocation. Avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts, and sheepskins in the crib since they can contribute to an unhealthy build-up of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS. If you want to include a soft sleeping surface in the crib, you can try a crib cover-and-pad combination. These products consist of an upholstered mattress pad, an elongated waterproof lining as well as an adjustable "skirt" that stretches over the mattress, much like a fitted sheet.

In the end, you'll need to purchase the appropriate crib rail guards. They are designed to protect the baby's head if it hits the crib railings while you're feeding him or her or cradling them on the bed. They also can help avoid dental marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings fixed.

When your child is no longer in the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to ensure your child's safety in the crib until they're ready for an adult bed. Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that can be used with most standard cribs. It's easy to install and meets all CPSC's safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are purely aesthetic and subject to personal taste, but others -- like the design of the slats on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the ease of use of the crib and its longevity. The best cribs have solid wood construction, meet numerous safety standards, and are easily adaptable to various mattress heights. Some cribs come with distinct features that make them more effective such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib.

Avoid cribs with decorative cutouts or other embellishments because they could get caught on clothing or create the risk of choking babies. 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 present the risk of injury.

The most effective crib sets come with easy-to-follow directions and all the essential parts, such as hardware. Most modern cribs can be put together in half an hour or less, and they 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 good option for families that plan to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have a limited space. It's important to note that some crib conversion kits require additional items to fully complete the process.

It can be difficult to understand crib hardware, but it's vital for security and stability. The majority of cribs have a system of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims"), and large chocks called step chocks. They're all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and its support surface.

Some shims or chocks can be made of soft woods, which crack slowly. This can give an audible warning before they fail. However, stiffer woods can break more rapidly and with greater force. Plastic shims or chocks are also available for purchase. They are simpler to install, as they don't require drilling into the surface.
