Baby Crib Sets And Crib Bedding Sets

By Darren Hartley


A lot of attention has been paid to crib safety. Manufacturers of baby crib sets must conform to strict safety codes effective February 1974. This was necessitated by a large number of serious crib accidents. The features of a crib that has been with a family must be ensured to conform to current safety standards.

Not more than 2 3/8 inches apart is the standard for the distance between the crib slats of comfortable baby crib sets. This is for the prevention of the heads or limbs of babies from getting caught in between them, an occurrence that could lead to injury, and worst, to strangulation. Never to be used are cribs with missing slats or spindles.

A baby could accidentally fall against rough or sharp edges in the metal hardware of baby crib sets. It must be ensured that there are no such edges in the crib. A baby could accidentally release faulty locks and latches on the drop-side of the crib and fall out of the crib. Locks and latches must be assured to be working perfectly.

An important aspect in the creation of an ideal nursery for the little one is the assurance of a safe and comfortable bed. A big part of this aspect is the purchase of soft and breathable crib bedding sets. The ideal baby bed sheets not only add style to the nursery but give the baby a perfect place to sleep.

Crib bedding sets with sheets that have elasticized edges and fit the crib mattress snugly must be chosen to ensure the safety of the baby as well as prevent the sheet from slipping off the mattress. It must always be remembered that loose sheets are hazards to safety.

Babies must not get too warm when sleeping. Weather conditions and room temperatures must always be considered. Crib bedding sets with cotton sheets work well for most situations while crib bedding sets with flannel sheets are set aside for cooler conditions.
