Baby 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.

To prevent the heads or limbs of babies from getting caught in between them, the crib slats of baby crib sets must not be more than 2 3/8 inches apart. The use of cribs with slats not conforming to this standard distance could lead to injury, and worst, to strangulation. Missing slats or spindles in a crib mean that the crib must never be used.

The metal hardware of baby crib sets must not have any rough or sharp edges where a baby could accidentally fall against. The locks and latches on the drop-side of the crib must be perfectly working to make sure the baby cannot accidentally release them and fall out of the crib.

The insurance that the bed is safe and comfortable is an important aspect in the creation of an ideal nursery for the little one. The purchase of soft and breathable crib bedding sets is a big part of this aspect. While giving the baby the perfect place to sleep, the ideal baby bed sheets also add style to the nursery.

Because loose sheets are safety hazards, crib bedding sets with sheets that have elasticized edges and fit the crib mattress snugly must be chosen. Not only does this ensure the safety of the baby but it also prevents the sheet from slipping off the mattress.

Because babies must not get too warm when sleeping, weather conditions and room temperatures must always be considerations in the selection of crib bedding sets. Sets with cotton sheets are ideal for most weathers while sets with flannel sheets are best for cooler temperatures.
