With the advent of the baby in the house, parents are brewing many new problems. One of them, in particular, is the equipment for a new family member. Of course, of all furniture items, the main thing for a child is his bed, because it is in it he spends most of his time. In addition, how comfortable for the baby his bed will depend on his calm, and therefore health. Among the variety and the widest selection, we will try to figure out what you are suitable for you.

Types of baby cots

Conditionally, all baby cots can be divided into four types: classical, cradle, transformer, playpen. Let’s talk more about each of them:

• 

  Classic cots. The most common view of the crib. As a rule, they are sleeping kids to the maximum of three years. In the modern market, the choice of such beds is very large, they are on conventional legs, and on wheels, and on the clashes, with which the crib can be swamped. Russian manufacturers adhere to the standard size – the bed must be 120?60 cm.Imported manufacturers have no such standards.

• 

  Cot-cradle. These cribs are designed for the smallest, or rather, for children to six months. In terms of comfort, the cradle is very useful, it provides a small space around the child, thereby creating him the usual conditions. After all, there is also a cozy, as it was 9 months in the tummy at Mom. However, the term of use of the cradle is very small, besides, different children grow differently. Therefore, many moms have adapted to save to save, instead of the cradle of a stroller or cradle from her.

• 

  Bed-transformer. Currently very popular among young parents. In fact, these are the most ordinary cots that are complemented by all sorts of shelves, changing table or children’s chest. When the kid will grow up, you can remove the walls and thereby get the usual bed. It all depends, in principle, from the species of the crib. Bed transformer It is very convenient because the sleeping place, toys and things of the child, the means of hygiene, a table for swaddling are placed in one place.

• 

  Cot Manezh. Depending on the model, such beds are designed for children from birth and up to 2-4 years. This kind of purchase will be the perfect purchase for a family that often moves along with the baby. Such a bed is easy to fold and packaged in a specially intended bag. Bag can roll with you on wheels or carry the handle as you are more convenient. The big minus of the children’s playman is that the bottom of him is too low, almost at the very floor. Several times at night bend to the child can be pretty tedious. In addition, in a crib of this type, the child will not be able to learn to rise, due to the lack of hard rods, for which the baby could hold.

How to choose and how to pay attention?

When buying a crib, the main criterion of choice is not worth the price and appearance. There are many important factors that will help you navigate and make the right choice among today’s manifolds:

• Cot Must be natural. For many furniture items, a tree was considered the best material for all centuries, and cribs are not in this case. The tree breathes well and gives the same body of your baby. Some details can be made of metal or plastic – the main thing is that they are not much, because the child can hit the lacquer or put some other harm. Beret’s best materials are birch, alder and maple, but they are quite expensive. Pine cost cheaper, but in its structure it is much softer, so impressive dents and traces can remain on the furniture.
• Cot Must be sustainable. The cradle and a rocking bed are comfortable for very little children when they are not yet spinning and can not dig a bed. But be prepared for the fact that by 3-4 months your baby will begin to show big motor activity. Choose such a bed from which the child will not be able to fall out or sway to such an extent that it is supported with him.
• Bottom Cots Must be rush. As a rule, cribs with a solid bottom are much cheaper, but they are not «breathe» mattress. Take note that this aspect is very important, because it is almost impossible to protect yourself from night surprises, but the unpleasant consequence of the insufficient drying of the mattress can be the appearance of fungi.
• Depth of the bottom of a crib. As a rule, in many cribs The possibility of regulating the height of the bottom. The fact is that when the kid does not sit down and does not get up, the depth of the bed may not be very big. Thus, parents will be easier to take the baby and put it back. However, when the child will grow slightly and starts active musculoskeys, the depth of the bed will have to be at least 60-65 centimeters. So, your crocha will not be able to fall in a rustling of curiosity.
• Distance between Plancami Lattices should be About 5-6 centimeters. The fact is that no of the parts of the child should not get stuck between the planks. The distance between the planks is an important point in ensuring the safety of your child. Therefore, when buying a cottage cottage, do not be lazy to arm a tape measure or a ruler, and all measure yourself.
• Life time Your chosen crib. Nowadays, you offer a lot of varied options on the market. Some cribs are designed to two years, after which you can not do anything with them, some can push and lengthened, turn into children’s couches. In the future, they can be used to 8-10 years. Here you decide exactly how much your budget is designed and will you then make a desire to choose something new for your child in a couple of years.

Prices for baby cots may vary from 1 000 rubles. If your budget is limited, do not worry, you can freely buy a good baby bed within one or two thousand and it is not necessary that will be something bad. The most expensive beds can be from 30 thousand and higher, here, as they say, not limit to perfection. For such a price, you can purchase a coarse transformer bed, or, for example, a white wooden bed, decorated with stucco. However, do not stand too exaggerate in the selection of the bed.

Parent reviews:

Maria:

Hello! I would like to say that the lane box for the newborn is categorically not suitable! There is a very soft bottom, which is most likely affects the child’s spine. I agree that such a bed is very convenient for parents – you can take with you, develops and t.D. But constantly the baby can not be in it.

Nadia:

And we have a transformer crib. I really like it in that there is a changing table, diapers on hand are always, there are special branches, it is wide, two-level. When the kid will grow a little more, he can safely climb out of the bed and climb back. And the changing table is removable, when it will not be needed for us, it can be removed.

Albina:

We have a metal bed, it is designed for kids up to 7 years. Until 2 months, the child slept peacefully in it, and then at all in any way, only with parents. I had to clean the bed, and after 1 year they set again. The truth is still asleep on the parent bed, and at night. Each bed has its pros and cons. The bottom does not fail, everything keeps firmly, on screws, on two sides are long, quickly removed and rose. There is a minus, even though there is a cradle, we never slept in it. The wheel one broke, and I can’t find a replacement. The remaining wheels are not removed.

Olga:

Bought a lane. Very beautiful, functional, cool, but uncomfortable to bum! Through the toddler grid, he sees the parents and the environment, and LAZ is only from the end. The sidewalls are not cleaned. When they bought – the eyes tanned and did not even think about all this. Now insulting somehow.
