Parents begin to think about buying a crib for a child a few months before his birth. Young families often pay attention to their appearance and follow the course of fashion, but more experienced mothers and dads evaluate the practical side of the goods.
How to choose a crib for a newborn, so that the bed of the crumbs turns out to be warm, reliable, cozy and comfortable?
First, decide where in the house you want to make a children’s space or a children’s room.
Based on this, choose what type of crib is suitable for you.
Three types of cribs
Cradle
The cradle is designed for a baby from birth and a maximum of 6 months. It is a basket suspended between two supports. It can be a rocking chair or a stationary floor version. The main advantage of the cradle is its size. From the point of view of comfort for the baby, it is small space that creates a sense of confidence and security.
Also, the cradle is convenient in that it can easily be moved to the parental bed so that the child can feel the proximity of the mother. In the cradle you can easily rock the baby if he cries. Modern manufacturers also took care of the convenience for the mother, equipping some models with various built -in mechanisms, for example, an automatic motion alarm system, a nightlight, a mobile phone, a musical player, which are included in the remote control.
The disadvantage of the cradle is its impracticality, because the kids grow rapidly and stop placing in the basket. In addition, if the child has already sat down on his own, then in order to security purposes, he must be moved to a crib with higher sides.
Classic cribs
Their popularity is not reduced for several generations. What to pay attention to when buying?
Firstly, this is the material from which the crib is made. Wood is considered environmentally friendly. It does not distinguish harmful substances, “breathes”, and therefore the baby’s sleep in such a crib will be calm.
Secondly, when buying, ask the seller for a certificate of quality for products that will be guaranteed that all paints and varnishes used in the production are harmless for small, and also confirm the correspondence of the design of the box for the necessary GOST for children’s goods. This is especially true for the purchase of a metal bed.
Thirdly, be sure to check if the bottom is lowered in the crib and whether the side panel is removed? All this is part of security.
Fourthly, pay attention to additional accessories. The crib should have wheels so that it can be freely moved around the room, a motionless mechanism (a pendulum or rocking chair), it is possible to have a changing board, a box for toys or a chest of drawers for children’s things.
One of the varieties of a classic crib is a transformer bed that can be extended to width or length. This option is well suited for families, constrained by housing conditions, because such a crib grows with the baby and will come in handy until 7-8 years old.
The advantages of classic models are their duration in use and a high level of security for crumbs. The main drawback is the large size and small maneuverability.
Coted-maneuj
It is suitable for active parents who prefer travel and rest. Many couples opt for such a model also because it can be easily moved around the apartment, folded, used as an arena for a grown -up baby. Undoubtedly, all this is the advantages of the bed man-bed, but there are shortcomings.
Firstly, from the point of view of orthopedics, such a model is unsuitable for constant use for a small child. The emerging bottom and the existing bend.
Secondly, the main material for the manufacture of a bed man’s bed is textiles, often saturated with special substances for ease of operation. All this violates the natural circulation of air around the crumbs.
How to choose a crib for a newborn is to solve each parent, the main thing is that the baby feels safe and comfortable!
