Mattress
When it is about crib mattresses, firmness and size are essential. The AAP suggests using a mattress that is firm and is comfortable and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet on it. The mattress should be of the proper size for the crib and should remain in place, even after your child has grown out of it.
Additionally, you'll need to be aware of whether the mattress is made of substances that could harm your child. Find mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which often emit an unpleasant chemical smell. CertiPUR US certification is a good sign. It certifies that the foam in the mattress is free of ozone depleters and other harmful chemicals.
Other factors to consider include the mattress's weight and whether or not it's waterproof.

We also placed the weight of 8 pounds which is slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby, on each mattress to observe how it reacted. The top mattresses did not sink in, which means that they offer enough support to protect your child from falling out of the mattress while sleeping or suffocate. Some of the mattresses that we tested had a removable cover that is machine washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even simpler.
Crib Rails
A crib is not complete without the proper set of fixed rails. Some furniture companies for babies provide baby rails with the crib. Others sell them separately. If you opt
cots to tots purchase them separately, look for ones that meet the safety requirements. They must, for instance, be free of missing or loose screws, brackets, and other hardware. They must also be able to support the weight of your child, but not be too flimsy. They should also be secured in a secure way so they can't be taken away by your child.
The crib rails need to not only be strong but also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from becoming fragile and potentially risky for your child. When purchasing crib rails, be sure to take measurements of the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in crib sizes. Ideally, the space should be no more than three fingers wide.
Also, make sure that the crib rails do not have any decorative cutouts or other ornaments. They can create the risk of suffocation. Avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts or sheepskins in the crib, as these can contribute to an unhealthy build-up of carbon dioxide and increase the risk of SIDS. If you're looking to provide an extra soft surface for sleeping in the crib, you can try a crib pad and cover combo. These products are made up of a mattress pad made of waterproof material and an elongated "skirt" that can be positioned around the mattress like a fitted sheet.
Finally, you'll need purchase the appropriate crib rail protectors. These are designed to protect the head of your child in the event that it falls on the crib railings while you're feeding him or her or cradling them next to the bed.

Crib Hardware
Certain aspects of the crib's design are only aesthetic or are subject to personal preference however other aspects, such as the design of slats or whether the crib can be converted into a toddler bed--can have significant influence on the ease of use as well as how long the crib will last. The best cribs are constructed of solid wood, comply with numerous safety standards, and can be easily configured to different mattress heights. Certain cribs have special features that make them more effective, such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib.
Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs, or other decorations that could catch on clothing or create a choking risk for infants.
