What the AI looks for in Nursery Quilts & Bed Covers
- Age of use
- No loose quilts, comforters or blankets in the sleep space before 12 months; use a sleep bag instead Soft bedding is a leading factor in infant sleep suffocation deaths.
- Weight and breathability
- Lightweight cotton or muslin layers rather than thick polyester batting Toddlers kick off and tangle in heavy covers and overheat under them.
- Size
- Toddler-bed size rather than a full adult throw An oversized quilt drags on the floor and bunches around a small child.
- Washability
- Machine-washable with stable stitching that holds the layers after repeated washing Quilts for small children get washed constantly, and cheap ones shift and clump.
Brands that matter
- Little Unicorn: Muslin quilts and blankets in many prints.
- aden + anais: Muslin blankets and layered dream blankets.
- Burt's Bees Baby: Organic cotton bedding and blankets.
What to avoid
- Any quilt, comforter or blanket placed in the crib of a baby under 12 months
- Thick polyester-filled comforters for toddlers
- Quilts with tassels, pom-poms or loose appliqués
Questions
Can a crib quilt be used as decoration over the crib rail?
Only out of the baby's reach; anything the baby can pull into the crib becomes loose bedding.
