Families with babies are well aware that choosing a crib for a small child is a difficult and very responsible business. Sleep, well-being and mood, as well as the mood of his parents depend on how comfortable the baby will be in his crib. A good crib will ensure the correct formation of the baby's spine, and this will subsequently save him from many problems.
There are several types of cribs for babies. It can be a small bed, the length of which is 70-100 cm, and the width is 40-50 cm. Or it can be a cradle or a basket on wheels.
The main purpose of such cribs is to rock the baby, which is achieved by rocking the cradle in different directions.
The cradle can be fixed on supports, rocking skids or castors. The cradle swings like a swing, if it is suspended from a support, and also thanks to a pendulum mechanism or an electronic vibration system.
The carrycot turns on automatically if the baby cries or is started using the remote control. It can have several modes of operation, depending on the intensity of the swing. It is better to purchase a cradle that is fixed in a fixed position, so that the baby, having learned to rise independently, without overturning it.
The presence of wheels allows the cradle to move freely around the room, and their locks will not allow the crib to roll on its own. They, as a rule, are wooden with rubberized pads, for silent movement, or self-orienting made of plastic.
The material inside and outside the cradle must be natural. It can be linen or cotton. Usually bassinets are sold in a set with everything you need, but if this is not available, remember that the walls of the bassinet should be soft, the mattress should be firm and firm, and the pillow should be small or special orthopedic. Decorations made of fabric, ruffles, bows, a canopy or a tulle cape, which decorate the cradle in such a way and make it cozy, should be in pastel and soft colors. All carrycot accessories should be easy to remove and extend when needed.
The cradle body can be fabric or wicker. Wicker cradles are made from palm stems or leaves, and Russian manufacturers prefer willow vines.
The bottom of the wicker cradle is usually wooden, which gives stability, and the perfectly flat surface contributes to the correct formation of the baby's spine.
Wicker cradles perfectly and originally fit into the interior and any style of the room. They are lightweight, very durable, easy to clean and are not afraid of moisture.
The stand on which the cradle is installed can have any shape, size and material of manufacture. But it must be fully dimensioned for the carrycot to be stable and to guarantee safety. The stand can be wooden, wicker or wrought iron. It can play the role of a rocking chair, or it can fix the cradle in one position.
Some models have long ropes that attach them to the ceiling.
When choosing a cradle for a baby, pay attention to the attachment of the handles (they must be reliable and comfortable) and their symmetrical arrangement - this is a guarantee that the handles will not come off and the baby will not fall out.
Plain wooden cots are very popular and always in high demand. They represent a one-story structure with high sides, which are made of rods or planks. Modern models are equipped with the latest technical developments, which provides the baby with a sound, healthy sleep, and his parents a quiet life.
The bottom of the bed is adjustable in height, it is good if it is made of slats or perforated, which provides free air circulation. Special silicone pads are provided for the sides so that the baby does not chew on his crib. It is very important that they are not damaged and that they are securely attached to the side of the bed. The casters should easily move the bed around the room, and the blockers should securely fix it in place.
There is a convenient box under the bed in which you can store toys, baby clothes, a first aid kit or necessary items for baby care. The box may have a limiter that prevents it from opening unnecessarily, as well as a lid that closes and protects the contents of the box.
The rocking bed is activated by the slightest movements of the baby, which allows him to calm himself down on his own. The pendulum mechanism or arcuate runners provide the motion sickness process. They rock the crib slightly, preventing it from toppling over.
The runners can be removed and the legs or castors extended. The pendulum mechanism swings the bed back and forth or from side to side, so it should be chosen taking into account the free space in the room. The pendulum mechanism runs smoothly and much longer than the arched runners. And when the baby is awake, special clips hold the baby bed securely and prevent it from swinging.
The rocking bed requires a separate free space so that when rocking it does not hit the walls of the room.
The playpen bed is ideal for parents who move frequently, and is also perfect for a visit with a baby. It is very compact, it can be folded like a book or an umbrella, it can be put in a bag or just rolled on wheels. The bottom in such a crib is hard, the walls are mesh - this makes it look like a playpen.
The legs of the crib have anti-slip attachments, and additional central ones give stability to the arena. Such a bed must have a special protective mechanism that protects it from spontaneous folding.
When choosing a playpen bed, it must be remembered that the playpen mesh should be with large cells in pastel colors. A bright mesh with small cells negatively affects the eyes of the baby. Do not forget also about the maximum permissible load, in no case do not exceed it.
A sound and healthy sleep for a baby is an important component that contributes to growth and proper development, and the best device for sleeping is a cradle, which meets all the requirements of ergonomics.
And when the child learns to sit correctly, he will need a comfortable bassinet. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it is better to purchase a cradle for the baby that combines the functions of a cradle and a highchair.
Such models are easily transformed, they can have a multi-adjustment system, thermal ventilation and motion sickness. One product can be used both as a bed and as a device for feeding a baby.
