Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and sizing are essential. The AAP recommends a firm mattress that is comfortable and doesn't leave an indentation when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress should be the correct size for the crib and it should stay in place, even after your cheap baby cots for sale gets out of it.

A crib isn't complete without a set of rails that are fixed. Some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails with the crib. Others offer them separately. If you decide to purchase them separately, look for rails that meet the safety requirements. For example, they should be free of missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should also be able to support the weight of your child without being too flimsy. They should also be able to lock securely into place so they cannot be removed by your child.

The crib rails need to not only be sturdy, but also fit snugly within the frame of the crib. This will stop the mattress from becoming fragile, which could be dangerous for your baby. When purchasing crib rails, be sure to measure the inside of the frame since there are slight variations in crib sizes. The dimensions should be no more than three fingers.

Some have distinct features that make them more useful, such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.
