Given the wide variety of models of baby cribs available on the market today, buying the perfect crib can be considered a real challenge. To ease your work, you need to set a price range and decide which features are most important for you. Here are some important features that need to keep in mind: Baby cribs must meet safety criteria.
Normally, all the cribs on sale must comply with safety rules. Therefore, it is important to follow exactly the instructions for assembly provided by the manufacturer. A safe crib should have a firm mattress that will fit in the bed, have no spare hardware or defective or missing slats. Between slats should not be a distance greater than 5 cm.
Convertible Crib And Changer
Mobile sides? Mobile sides are very useful and widely used. Baby cots can be fixed with one or both sides mobile.Baby cribs with fixed sides are comfortable for taller parents or in cases when the crib will be used only occasionally. Most parents find useful that at least one side is mobile, so that baby can be lifted and put into bed easily. Two sliding side cribs can be useful for when the room is large enough and the baby crib is in the center of the room.
Cribs with wheels are very useful
Check the wheels to ensure they are not fragile. You will need to move the crib when you clean, change sheets or looking for fallen toys. If you are not sure about it, you can set it aside for later. If you really like a bed that has no wheels, you can buy them later for various stores.
Adjustable mattress height?
Most cribs even cheap ones have this equipment. It allows you to adjust the mattress when the baby is very small and lower it as he grows and can get up. Two levels are sufficient, but cribs with 3 levels are even better. Check how the mattress is supported. Some cots folding mattress are supported by means of vinyl strips that can wear out or break.
Cribs with metal bars are a better choice.
The best choice is the cribs that have a metal spring system to support the mattress. Convertible cribs? This type of cribs can be very attractive to some parents, but does not justify the price difference for others. I always say that when it comes to your baby you should not think of pricing. Some cribs can be converted from baby cribs to beds for adults. Most require an additional kit to be converted.
Wooden baby crib, folding baby crib or iron baby crib?
Wooden bed is suitable for home, while folding crib has the advantage of being easily stored / transported and can be used after 6 months. Folding cribs require extra mattress on the lower level. Wooden cribs usually have 3 levels of mattress installation and often one or two removable sides - can be used or adapted comfortable age. Ideally you can successfully use both - normal sleep wooden bed, cot folding for travel or as a pen. But if you want quality I really think you should buy an iron baby crib. It's the best choice for your baby.
