Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a firm mattress which fits snugly, and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you place a sheet over it. The mattress should also be the proper size for the crib and it should stay in place even after your child gets out of it.

It is also important to determine if the mattress contains substances that could harm your child. Look for a mattress free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that emit an unpleasant chemical odor. CertiPUR US certification is a good indicator. It is a certifiable sign that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters and other harmful chemicals.

Crib Rails





A crib can't be complete without the right set of rails that are fixed. While some furniture companies for babies include a set of baby rails along with the crib and others sell them on their own. 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 withstand your child's weight but not be too thin. They should also secure themselves in place so that they cannot be removed by your child.

The best crib rails will not only be sturdy but they must also fit snuggly within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from becoming flimsy, which can be unsafe for your child. When purchasing tots and cots , be sure to take measurements of the inside of the frame since there are slight variations in the size of cribs. The ideal space should be no more than three fingers wide.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails are devoid of cut-outs for decorative purposes or other decorations that could pose dangers to suffocate your child. You should also avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts or sheepskins on the crib, as these can contribute to a dangerous build-up of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS.

Crib Hardware

Some aspects of crib design are only aesthetic or subject to personal preference however, other aspects--like the style of slats, or whether the crib converts into a toddler bed--can have significant impact on ease of use as well as how long the crib will last. The best cribs feature solid wood construction, meet numerous safety standards, and are easily adjustable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs feature unique features which make them more efficient. For instance the Quick Zip Crib Sheet lets you replace the sheets without removing the entire mattress.

Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs with decorative cut-outs or other ornaments which could get caught on clothes or pose a choking risk for children. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts and other components that could get caught on objects or clothing.

Some chocks and shims are made of soft woods which crack slowly, and can give warnings that sound before they fail, while stiffer wooden materials may break suddenly and with greater force. Plastic shims and chocks are also available and can be easier to install since they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
