Every parent faces the problem of choosing a crib for their baby.
Of course, newborn cribs must meet basic requirements: environmentally friendly, safe, comfortable, and convenient for parents and babies.
First of all, the material of the crib is very important. The best choice is a crib made of natural wood-the material is completely safe for newborns. There are beech and pine cribs on the market, as well as cribs made of birch. These cribs are good choices.
When selecting a crib, pay attention to whether it has wheels, rocking devices and locking devices. It would be even more convenient if the crib was equipped with wheels and rails. When your baby is young, you can use the slide rails to quickly rock your baby to sleep, and the wheels make it easy for you to move the crib around the room.
Crib bases are available in solid and slats. The slat base is the most practical, has good air permeability, and has good orthopedic functions, which is crucial for the normal development of the spine. The depth of the crib base is also critical; it can be adjusted to one or more height positions, which is especially important for older children. Once the baby starts to roll over, then sits up and can stand, the base will drop to its lowest position.
Depending on the model of the crib, the front bezel can be lowered or removed for convenience for parents and babies. Higher-end models come with silicone pads on the top rail to protect your baby's gums, but if they are not equipped with silicone pads, they can be purchased separately. The side panels of the crib are available in strip and mesh styles. For safety reasons, the spacing between strips should not exceed 9 centimeters. Some crib models have drawers that can be open or closed.
Types of classic cribs:
Classic cribs are the most common type of cribs and are usually designed for children under the age of 3. Classic cribs can have legs, but most are equipped with wheels and slides. Classic cribs can be equipped with pendulum to swing horizontally, vertically or in all directions;
The side-by-side crib puts you closer to your baby for night care and feeding. Unlike other styles of cribs, side-by-side cribs are compact and take up no space. Its main advantage is that the front bezel is detachable. Although side-by-side cribs can also have legs, most are equipped with wheels.
Choosing the first crib for a newborn requires careful consideration because the baby will spend most of the time in it. It is crucial to pay attention to product quality and safety certification. Cribs should not only be convenient for parents, but also provide a comfortable and safe place for babies to sleep. When choosing a style, don't forget to consider the design, because the crib should also be beautiful and generous.
