Bedding

There are plenty of options when it comes to crib bedding. But picking the right one is more than selecting a cute pattern that will match your aesthetic; you need to find one that fits tightly and doesn't bunch up in areas where it could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It must be soft and sturdy enough to withstand diaper blowouts, spit up and other messes over the course of months without wearing out.

This is an independent third-party certification that guarantees the company's textiles meet rigorous standards for safety and crib sets quality. They're pre-shrunk, which means they won't shrink or stretch after washing, and they're designed to fit on a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long).

Mattress

Size and firmness are crucial when it comes to crib mattress. The AAP suggests using a mattress that is firm and fits comfortably and does not leave an indentation when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should be of the right size for the crib and it should remain in place, even after your baby gets out of it.

It is also important to determine whether the mattress is made up of substances that could harm your child. Choose mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. A good indication is a CertiPUR-US certificate, which certifies that the mattress's foam is made without Ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde and phthalates, which are regulated by Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, which means they offer enough support to prevent your child from falling over or being suffocated in bed. A few of the mattresses we tested have covers that can be washed and removed that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the proper set of rails that are fixed. While some baby furniture companies offer baby rails with the crib, others offer them on their own.

Crib Hardware

Some crib design features are purely aesthetic and are based on personal preference, however other features like the design of the slats that are on the crib or whether it converts into a toddler bed -can have a major impact on the comfort of the crib as well as its longevity. The best cot beds cribs are made of solid wood, comply with numerous safety standards, and can be easily configured to different mattress heights. Some cribs have special features that make them more efficient. For example the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to change the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

Avoid cribs with decorative cutouts or other embellishments that could catch on clothing or pose the risk of choking babies. Also, be sure to inspect the crib hardware regularly for loose bolts or objects that could snag on clothing or other objects, and pose danger.
