Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and size are important. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that is comfortable and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you lay sheets over it. The mattress should also be of the right size for the crib and it should stay in place, even after your baby is old enough to leave it.

You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a positive sign. It confirms that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters and other harmful chemicals.

Crib Rails

A crib is not complete without the right set of fixed rails. While some baby furniture companies include a set of baby rails with their cribs however, some offer the rails separately.

They should be sturdy enough to hold your child's weight without being too thin. They should also be able to secure themselves to ensure that they are not removed from your child.

The crib rails you choose should not only be strong They should also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will prevent the mattress from becoming flimsy, which can be unsafe for your child. Be sure to measure the width of the crib frame prior to purchasing a crib rail. There are slight variations in the sizes of the crib. Ideally, the space should not be more than three fingers wide.

Crib Hardware

Some of the crib's design features are purely aesthetic and subject to individual preference, while others -- like the style of the slats on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bedcould have a significant impact on the comfort of the crib and its lifespan. The best cribs are constructed of solid wood, comply with various safety standards and can be easily adjusted to various mattress heights. Some cribs come with unique features that make them more efficient, such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to swap the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

Some shims or chocks can be made from soft woods, which break slowly. This may give an audible warning before they fail. However, harder woods can break more rapidly and with greater force. The shims and chocks are made of plastic and can also be purchased. They are much easier to install, as they don't require drilling into the surface.
