an extra layer of comfort and shields the mattress from accidents and stains Choose mattress pads that are less than an inch thick so your child can still breathe easily Avoid anything that is too soft or with bows long ribbons and other adornments They can fall off and create an injury to strangulation If you plan to keep your baby in the crib for a considerable amount of time you should consider purchasing a convertible crib These cribs can be converted to a toddler bed or even a daybed or fullsize Some cribs come with necessary conversion kits but others require an additional purchase A few of our mostloved cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5in1 crib that is sleighstyle 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 mattress thats low We love that its also Greenguard Gold certified meaning it complies with stringent environmental standards to prevent offgassing Mattress When it is about crib mattresses firmness and size are important The AAP recommends a firm mattress that fits comfortably and doesnt leave an indentation on the surface when you lay the sheet over it The mattress should be the appropriate size for the crib and remain in place even when your child is out of it In addition youll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made of chemicals that could potentially harm your child Find mattresses that are odorless and free of volatile organic compounds VOCswhich typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell A good sign is a CertiPURUS certificate that certifies that the foam used in a mattress is free of ozone depleters PBDEs 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 aspects to consider are the mattresss weight and whether or not its waterproof cots offers that is waterproof or able to be cleaned is more suitable for cleaning since youll be changing sheets in the night The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product weve tested coming around 20 lbs This could be a problem for some parents Another important thing to consider is whether the mattress is dualsided Some come with a firm infant side and a soft toddler side Pediatricians recommend flipping your childs mattress once they reach the height of normal growth This is usually around 12 months We measured the mattresses and then observed how easily they folded to cover the sides of the crib with sheets We also placed the weight of 8 pounds which was slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby on each mattress to see how it reacted The best ones did not sink which means that they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of bed while they sleep or to suffocate A few of the mattresses we tested come with a removable machinewashable cover that is waterproof and zips closed This makes cleaning and maintaining them even more simple Crib Rails A crib cant be complete without the right set of rails that are fixed While some cribs for babies include a set of baby rails with the crib others offer them on their own If you choose to purchase them separately look for ones that meet all of the safety requirements For instance they should be free of any missing or loose screws brackets or other hardware They should be strong enough to withstand your childs weight but not too thin They should also lock securely into place so they are not able to be removed by your child The crib rails should not only be sturdy but also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib This will stop the mattress from becoming flimsy which can cause harm to your baby Be sure to measure inside the crib frame when buying the crib rail There are some slight differences in the sizes of cribs The space should ideally be no more than three fingers You should also make sure that the crib rails do not include any cutouts with decorative designs or other adornments They could pose an suffocation threat Avoid placing pillows blankets blankets quilts or sheepskins on the crib because they can cause an unhealthy buildup of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS Try a crib coverandpad combo to provide a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby These are comprised of a mattress pad that is waterproof and an elongated skirt that can be positioned around the mattress in the same way as a fitted sheet Youll also need to ensure that you have the right crib rail guards They are designed to protect the head of your baby if it hits the crib railings as youre feeding him or her or cradling them beside the bed They can also help prevent the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the cribs fixed railings Youll have to purchase a toddler railing once your child is no longer in their crib This will keep them safe in the crib until they are ready for a bigger bed Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can fit on most cribs that are standard Its easy to install and meets all of the CPSCs safety standards Crib Hardware Certain aspects of the cribs design are only aesthetic or otherwise subject to personal preference but otherssuch as the style of slats or whether a crib converts to a toddler bedcan have significant influence on the ease of use and how long the crib will last The best cribs are constructed of solid wood comply with multiple safety regulations and are easily adjusted to various mattress heights Certain cribs have unique features that make them more efficient such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet which allows you to change sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib In general you should avoid cribs with ornamental cutouts or other ornaments that could snag on clothes or pose a choking risk for infants Also make sure to inspect the cribs hardware frequently for loose bolts or other objects that could get caught on clothing or other objects and create the risk of injury The best crib sets include simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary parts including hardware Modern cribs typically take half hour or less to put together and a lot come with all the equipment youll need Consider a convertible crib which can be converted into a toddler bed daybed or a fullsize mattress Its a good purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for several years or have small space in their homes Be aware that some crib conversion kits require additional purchases in order to complete the process Crib hardware can be difficult to grasp but its essential to ensure security and stability The majority of cribs have the rectangular blocks wedges also known as shims and huge chocks also known as step chocks all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and the supported surface Some shims and chocks are made of soft woods which crack slow which may provide warnings that sound before they fail and more rigid wood materials can break up suddenly and with more force Plastic shims and chocks are also available and can be easier to install since they dont require drilling or screwing into the surface
