Buying a crib is a very important and responsible business. The selection of the right children's furniture should be treated with special attention. But before you start buying, you need to figure out which bed will be best for your baby. Today we will talk about the correct selection of cribs.
Types and varieties
Today, all existing cribs can be divided into several types:
- Classic version.
- Transformer bed.
- Multifunctional arena.
What are these three varieties?
Classic crib – is the kind of furniture we all slept in when we were kids. That is, its design consists of a rectangular base and high sides, more like thin wooden rods. It is with this bed that we associate a children's bed. But there are in addition to the usual options and transforming beds. Their design has some similarities with the firstfurniture option. But the main details, because of which it is referred to this type, are additionally installed niches for storing children's clothes, as well as baby toys. On top of them, a so-called changing pad is often installed. The highlight of this bed lies in its design. After a few years, the child grows up and you will need to buy larger furniture. But with a transforming bed, you will not bother looking for a new thing, as it has an adjustable length. That is, the dimensions of a standard baby crib - a transformer can vary depending on the height of the child. Its design allows you to turn a small bed for newborns into a full-fledged bed for a 3-4-year-old child. This is a significant cash savings.
And the last type - beds - arenas. They have a plastic (in some cases, metal) base, which is covered with a natural or synthetic fabric in the form of a grid. Unlike the "transformer", the size of a standard crib - arena is not regulated depending on the height of the baby. But at the same time, they perform several functions at once: they are not only a sleeping place, but also a great place to play.
Standard crib sizes
Before you visit a furniture store, you must decide on the dimensions of the thing. Often a children's bed for newborns has a length of about 120 centimeters. Its width is about 60 centimeters. These sizes of a standard crib are the best option for babies.refundable up to three years.
Also don't forget about the correct location of the crib. Most often, parents install it near the window, near the batteries. In some cases, this is correct, but do not forget that your child may be at risk of colds, as a draft can penetrate through the window (unless, of course, you have metal-plastic ones). Always remember that the dimensions of the crib should contribute to a comfortable and he althy sleep for the baby.
