+[Crib Sets](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/) - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One
+
+The best crib sets come with everything you need for your newborn to sleep soundly from the beginning. They are already shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to sit comfortably around the mattress, without bunching - a major safety risk for babies.
+
+One parent tester said she used hers through two children and then passed it on to a friend and it was a great purchase. Its sleek design makes it an excellent option for nursery spaces that are minimalist.
+
+Bedding
+
+There are many options to choose from when it comes down to bedding for your crib. It's not only about picking the right pattern that fits your aesthetic. You also want to ensure that the sheet is tightly fitted and doesn't bunch up in areas that could be a choking hazard for your child. And it has to be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts from diapers and spit-up spills without wearing out too quickly.
+
+The Avocado set is one of our favorite. It contains two sheets made with 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The fabrics are MADE SAFE certified, an independent third party certification that ensures that the company's products meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. The sheets are pre-shrunk so that they don't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit on a standard crib bed (27 1 The size of the blanket is 4 inches wide and 51 5/8 inches long. They're also machine-washable to clean the inevitable mess that your little child is bound to create.
+
+Another great option for newborns and toddlers is crib mattress pads, that adds a layer of comfort while protecting the mattress from spills and stains. Select a mattress cover that is less than one-inch thick to let your child breathe. Avoid anything too fluffy or with bows, long ribbons and other adornments. These can come off and create a strangulation hazard.
+
+If you plan to keep your baby in a crib for a long time, you should consider purchasing a convertible crib. These beds typically convert into a toddler bed and sometimes, to a full-size or daybed as well. Some cribs include the conversion kits, whereas other require an extra purchase.
+
+Some of our top cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib in a sleigh style, which is made of solid wood and features one of the taller mattress heights in the group (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a low mattress). We love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it complies with stringent environmental standards to prevent off-gassing.
+
+Mattress
+
+When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and size are essential. The AAP recommends using a mattress that is firm, fits comfortably and doesn't leave an indentation 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 baby grows out of it.
+
+Additionally, you'll need to be aware of whether the mattress is made from chemicals that could be harmful to your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that emit an unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It certifies that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.
+
+Other aspects to consider are the weight of the mattress and whether or not it is waterproof. It's likely that you'll be dealing with nighttime sheet changes So a waterproof or wipeable surface will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the most heavy product we've tested, coming in at 20 lbs. This may be a major issue for certain parents.
+
+A dual-sided mattress may have an infant side that is firm and a soft side for toddlers. Pediatricians recommend flipping the mattress after your child has reached the height of their normal growth, usually about 12 months.
+
+We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how easily they folded to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound weight, slightly heavier than a newborn, on each mattress to determine how the mattress reacted. The best mattresses did not sink, meaning they have enough support to keep your child from falling or being suffocated in bed. Some of the mattresses we test had a removable cover that is machine washable and is water-proof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them more simple.
+
+Crib Rails
+
+A crib would not be complete without the correct set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies provide 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 instance, they must be free of missing or loose screws, brackets or other hardware. They should be sturdy enough to hold your child's weight without being too thin. They should also secure themselves in place so that they can't be taken away by your child.
+
+The best crib rails will not only be sturdy, they should also fit snuggly within the frame of the crib. This will keep the mattress from becoming too fragile and could be hazardous for your child. Be sure to measure inside the crib frame prior to purchasing the crib rail. There are some slight differences in the sizes of cribs. The area should be no wider than three fingers.
+
+You'll also want to make sure the crib rails are free of decorative cut-outs or other decorations that could pose dangers to suffocate your child. You should also avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts, and sheepskins in the crib as these can contribute to the carbon dioxide build-up and increase the risk of SIDS. If you're looking to provide a soft sleep surface in the crib, you can try a crib cover-and-pad combination. These products consist of a waterproof mattress pad and an elongated "skirt", which fits around the mattress just like a fitted sheet.
+
+Finally, you'll need find the best crib rail guards. These are designed to protect the head of your baby when it comes into contact with the crib railings as you feed them or cradling them next to the bed. They can also stop the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's railings on the sides that are fixed.
+
+Once your infant outgrows the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to keep your child safely in the bed until they're ready to move on to an adult bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can fit on most cribs that are standard. It's easy to set up and meets all of the safety standards of the CPSC.
+
+Crib Hardware
+
+Certain aspects of the crib's design are solely aesthetic or otherwise subject to personal preference but others--such as the style of slats or whether a crib can be converted into an adult bed--can have a significant influence on the ease of use and the length of time the crib will last. The best cribs have solid wood construction, meet numerous safety standards, and are easily configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Certain cribs come with unique features which make them more useful. For example, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.
+
+Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs or other embellishments which could get caught on clothes or pose a choking risk for children. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that can catch on clothing or other objects.
+
+The best crib sets come with easy-to-follow directions as well as all the required parts, such as hardware. The majority of modern cribs can be assembled within a half-hour or less, and most include all the tools required.
+
+You might also want to consider a convertible crib that could transform into a daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed or a full-size bed. This is a good choice for families who plan to use the crib for a number of years or have a limited space. You should be aware that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process.
+
+It can be difficult to understand crib hardware, but it's crucial to ensure security and stability. The majority of cribs have an arrangement of rectangular blocks as well as wedges (also called "shims"), and huge chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and supported surface.
+
+Some shims and chocks may be made of soft woods, which break slowly. This can give an audible warning before they fail. However, stiffer woods can break more rapidly and with greater force. Choks and shims made of plastic are also available, and are easier to install since they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
