Classic crib
Many adults believe that the classics are always in fashion. Several past generations slept in a classic rectangular crib. Now they are as popular as before, and no less practical. The standard size of a rectangular crib for newborns is 120 x 60 cm. Russian manufacturers make cribs of this size. In otherscountries, the size of the bed may increase slightly - 125 x 65 cm. Such minor differences are visible only when buying bed linen, which is sewn separately for each model. These cribs are bought for newborns and used until the child is 4-5 years old.
Possible options
Transforming bed - furniture designed for sleeping a child, which can be transformed into other furniture. The word "transformer" means that an ordinary crib has several additional functions. As a rule, such a bed is combined with a chest of drawers for linen and a changing table. When the child grows up, the chest of drawers can be removed, thereby increasing the area of \u200b\u200bthe bed, up to 170 x 60 cm. On a bed of this size, the baby can sleep almost until graduation.

What to look for when choosing a crib?
Parents research information about crib options, consult with friends and choose furniture of their own choosing. What features does a modern crib have?
Let's take a look:
- The pendulum is a mechanism with which you can easily rock the crib. It can be longitudinal and transverse, allowing the crib to move either from the head to the legs, or from side to side. The longitudinal pendulum allows the crib to swing more physiologically and comfortably for the baby.
- Wheels - it is very convenient to move the crib around the apartment on them, but the wheels must have locking buttons. When the child grows up and starts to stand up, the crib will wobble, which can cause injuries, so the wheels and the pendulum must be fixed.
- Box for linen - located below, under the bottom of the children's bed. This addition is very convenient and practical, you can store any available tools in the box. But it is worth considering the fact that the box is an additional dust collector.
- Slips on the side of the crib - made of plastic, silicone or fabric. Babies often gnaw on the sides when they're in the crib to scratch their gums when they're teething, so pads help parents out a lot and they don't have to paint over scratches. Pads protect the crib from damage, and the child does not get enough paint andvarnish.
- Adjustable bottom height - easy to change as baby grows.
- Removable wall - not available on all cribs. One side of the crib can be easily removed and placed next to the parent's bed for uninterrupted contact with the baby. In this case, the mother does not need to get up at night and go to the baby. It is enough to reach out and he is very close.
