Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are plenty of options. It's not just about picking one that is in line with your personal style. You should also ensure that the sheet fits tightly and does not get tangled in places that could be a choking hazard for your child. It should also be soft to the touch and durable enough to stand up to months of blowouts in diapers and spit-up, without deteriorating too fast.

A crib mattress pad is another great option for babies and toddlers. It adds an extra layer of comfort, and also protects the mattress from spills and stains. Find mattresses that are less than an inch thick to ensure your child is able to breathe easily. Avoid anything that is too fluffy, or with long ribbons, bows or other ornaments.

If you're planning to keep your baby in the crib for a considerable amount of time, consider buying a convertible crib. These beds usually convert to a toddler Mini Cot Bed, and occasionally to full-size beds or a daybed as well. Some cribs include the conversion kits, whereas other require a separate purchase.

It's made of solid wood and has one of the highest mattress heights (for parents worried about reaching the mattress from a low position). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it complies with stringent environmental standards to reduce off-gassing.

Mattress

When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends using a mattress that is firm and is comfortable and does not leave an indentation when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should also be the proper size for the crib, and it should remain in place even after your child is old enough to leave it.

You should also determine whether the mattress has substances that could harm your child. Find a mattress that is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which release an unpleasant chemical smell. A good sign is a certificate from CertiPUR-US which confirms that the foam used in a mattress is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, formaldehyde Phthalates that are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other things to think about include how much weight the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. It's likely that you'll be dealing with nighttime sheet changes, so a waterproof or wipeable surface will make cleaning easier.

The most effective mattresses did not sink, which means that they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of the mattress while sleeping or suffocate. Some of the mattresses we tested have an easily washable, removable cover that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them easier.

Crib Rails

A crib is not complete without the correct set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails with the crib. Others offer them separately. If you opt to buy them separately, search for ones that meet the safety requirements. For example, they should be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets or other hardware. They should be strong enough to support your child's weight, but not too thin. They should also be able lock securely in place to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

The crib rails need to not only be strong but also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib. This will stop the mattress from being too fragile, which could be dangerous for your Baby Crib. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame before purchasing the crib rail. There are some slight differences in the crib sizes. The area should be no wider than three fingers.

Also, you should make sure the crib rails are devoid of decorative cut-outs and other adornments, which can be potential suffocation hazards. You should also avoid placing pillows, blankets, quilts and sheepskins on the crib, since they can contribute to the carbon dioxide build-up and increase your baby's risk of SIDS. Try a crib cover-and-pad combo to provide a comfortable sleeping surface for your Baby beds.

They also help to prevent dental marks and drool discoloration on the crib's fixed railings.

Crib Hardware

Some aspects of crib design are solely aesthetic or are dependent on personal preference, but others--such as the style of slats or whether a crib converts into an infant bed--can have a major influence on the ease of use as well as how long the crib will last. The most durable cribs are made of solid wood construction, meet multiple safety standards, and are configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Certain cribs come with distinct features that make them more efficient. For instance the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

You should avoid cribs with decorative cutouts, or other accessories that could catch on clothing or create a risk of choking for infants. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that could snag on objects or clothing.

The best crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions as well as all the required parts including hardware. Modern cribs typically take half hour or less to put together and a majority include all the equipment you'll need.

It is also possible to consider a convertible crib that could transform into a daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed or a full-size bed. It's a good purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for a number of years or have little space in their homes. It is important to remember, though, that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the conversion.

Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to grasp, but it's essential for safety and stability. Most cribs have a system of rectangular block wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten up contact points between the crib and the surface that supports it.

Some chocks and shims are constructed from soft woods that break slowly, and can give warnings that sound before they fail as more robust wood materials could break abruptly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available, which are easier to install since they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
