Hello, dear parents! The bed is one of the greatest inventions humanity. It is unlikely that anyone will argue with such a bold statement. Especially after a stressful working day, or a day full of worries, caring for your child.

Now the time has come for you to buy a crib for your dear and long-awaited child. Do you do this a few days before the baby is born together, or are mother and baby already in the hospital, and the new dad is rushing around the shops looking for exactly what he needs? There are different options, but you still have to buy a crib. Which is the best crib to choose?

A beautiful crib does not mean it is good

Most often, young parents choose a crib according to appearance, so to speak, sweet and beautiful, but in addition to beauty, it must be durable, stable and safe.

A crib for a small child is not only a place to sleep, it is also a place to play. In the first months, the baby does not know how to do anything, he just sleeps quietly and calmly in the crib. But after 6 months, you will simply be surprised at the activity of your baby and what he will do there. In order for the crib to withstand all this cheerful activity, it must be of high quality. Let's try to figure it out how to choose a crib?

What material should a baby crib be made of?

It is better to look for a high-quality crib among those made from natural wood. You should not forget that now a lot of furniture is made to look like wood, so if it is difficult for you to determine what this or that model is made of, ask the seller to show a hygiene certificate.

They are usually without special wish they do this, but if it’s really important to you where your child will sleep, insist on your right (after all, there are a lot of children’s stores, and this is where the world “doesn’t come together”).

When choosing a crib, pay attention to the type of wood. The most inexpensive furniture made of pine, but it is also the most fragile, since the wood is soft. A crib made of pine will have scratches and marks from the child’s teeth, and the fastenings of such a crib are weaker. Furniture made from birch is already stronger, and the strongest and most durable crib is, of course, made from beech. There will be virtually no damage to such furniture and it will last longer.

Arranging a place for a child to sleep must be approached very responsibly. Let's consider the main points that are worth considering when choosing a crib for a child:

• the distance between the rods should be no more than 6 centimeters so that the baby does not accidentally get stuck between them;
• the bottom of the crib should be slatted so that the mattress is well ventilated;
• very convenient if the crib moves easily, choose a crib with wheels, it will be convenient for you to move it to another room or move it aside to wash the floor. After all, the issue of cleanliness is very important for the place where the baby lives;
• In a good crib, you can adjust the height of the bottom. When the child grows up and learns to sit and later stand up, you can lower the bottom: your “nimble little one” will need a deeper crib;
• It is more convenient to lay down and lift the child if the sides are lowered. Please pay attention to this when deciding which crib to choose;
• Drawers can come in handy. You can store children's clothes, laundry or a wealth of baby toys in them. The only thing is to choose a drawer that is higher above the floor, so that it is convenient to wash under the bed;
• the canopy over the crib is very beautiful thing, when the child is newborn, but when the baby grows up, it is better to remove it, otherwise the “pin-butt” will overturn this bulky structure.

A rocking chair, a pendulum, or maybe a transformer?

How to choose a children's bed from this large selection, which makes children's stores look wild? You only need one, but which one?

A rocking bed or a pendulum will really help you out when you put your baby to bed; children fall asleep well while rocking. The only difference between these cribs is that you will rock the rocking chair yourself, while the pendulum will rock the child for quite a long time without your participation.

Very comfortable transformable bed, when the baby grows up, it can be converted into a bed for a preschooler.

Dear moms and dads, before purchasing a crib for your baby, review more than one option, consider all the pros and cons of the models you like. You shouldn't buy a crib that's too fashionable, but you shouldn't skimp either. Good luck in choosing a crib for your baby.

Photo and video: How to choose the right crib?

The range of cribs for newborns is not just great: it is huge, and getting lost in the sea of ​​offers is much easier than done right choice. Meanwhile, after birth and in the next few months, the child will spend most of his time in bed.

Which is better - cradle or classic? Should I take the standard version or a transforming crib?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of playpens? Specialists of the online store “Daughters-Sons” give useful recommendations so that you can make the right decision.

Main types of cribs

Cradle

An option for the youngest, from birth to 3-6 months, but the manufacturer provides for the possibility of using such products for up to a year (until the child’s height reaches 80 cm). After the cradle, the baby moves to the crib.

The undoubted advantages of this product include its small sizes(the child may not be frightened at first limited space, and the cradle becomes ideal place for sleeping a newborn) and the ability to rock. As a rule, this type of bed is equipped with handles to easily move the basket with the baby.

The cradle can have a stationary stand or be installed in a child's bed with straps. The first option, as a rule, is noticeably lower, and therefore outperforms the “classic” in terms of ease of use. This advantage becomes obvious during night feedings, when several times during the night it becomes necessary to pick up the baby in your arms and return it back to the cradle.

The cradle can be placed next to the parent's bed: then the baby will be constantly in sight.

Transformer

It is a product that combines the function of a bed and another piece of furniture - usually a changing table and/or chest of drawers. Some models turn into teenagers when transformed; the upper sides form a table, complemented by a cabinet - a former chest of drawers.

Transformers are intended for children from birth to 6-7 years. As the child grows older additional elements are removed, thereby increasing the length of the bed. Some models “can” extend even further and are suitable for sleeping until the child reaches adolescence.

Manege

Folding models are combined under this name; They are convenient to use when traveling. Playpens are made of lightweight materials - metal, plastic and special fabric. All elements are easy to clean, so there should be no difficulties in caring for them. Beds of this type do not need to be supplemented with a mattress, but if desired, it can be purchased separately.

Considering the specifics of the application, playpens differ from the “classics” in size: as a rule, they are slightly shorter and wider than standard ones. In terms of functionality, this type of baby bed is in no way inferior to the standard options: they also have an upper level of the bottom, which is used from birth to three months, additional elements such as a changing table and a shelf for cosmetics, a mobile for toys, a hood and a pocket for small items. A convenient feature is a zipper on the side wall, which allows the child to independently open a hole for himself to get out of the crib.

Recently, playpens are often purchased for stationary use - it is convenient for parents to deal with a light, maneuverable bed that can be moved around the apartment during the day along with the baby in it.

What should a baby crib be like?

As for the age of the child up to which this version of the crib can be used, due to the specific design, the manufacturer usually limits the upper bar to 3 years, often also in conjunction with the designation of the weight limit: there are models that can be used for children no heavier than 6-7 kg, there are more stable options - up to 13 or 15 kg. It is clear that by the age of three the baby may outgrow these marks.

Dimensions

Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of a large living space, and often a crib has to fit into a very limited space, when literally every centimeter counts.

The usual sizes are 120x60 cm. But you can find models with lengths from 59 (cradle) to 180 cm, and widths ranging from 42 (cradle) and 55 cm to 140 cm.

If you choose a crib non-standard sizes, think about whether you can match it with bed linen and a mattress.

Possibility to change the bottom level

It is possible to change the height of the bottom for almost everyone; but the number of levels may vary - from 2 to 5. Five levels are important for those who practice co-sleeping, when it is important to combine the bottom of the crib with the height of the parents’ bed.

The bottom is placed on the upper level for the little ones: then it is convenient for the mother to lay the baby down. Later, when he learns to sit down and rise, the bottom must be lowered. It is important that the lower level is located at a distance of 60-65 cm from the upper edge of the sides, i.e. if the child will stand in the crib, the top rail should not be lower than his armpits.

Availability of a car wall

An auto-wall is the mobility of one of the side walls, which can be lowered and raised. Serves the same purpose as changing the height of the bottom, but if in order to move the bottom level, it is necessary to disassemble and reassemble the bed, then the auto-wall can be moved literally in one movement

Rocking runners

Instead of legs, the crib can be equipped with curved runners, which, if necessary, allow you to rock the sleeping baby. When the child gets older and can already stand up on his own, the bed needs to be fixed in a stationary state: if your choice falls on a model with runners, be sure to check whether there are special locks.

Wheels

If you plan to move the crib around the room, including with a child in it, it is worth purchasing a model equipped with wheels. By the way, removable wheels can be combined with runners, however, when the wheels are installed, the swing function does not work.

Also keep in mind that moving wheels can create a lot of problems when the bed is not secured, say, between the wall and the parent's sleeping area. To prevent movements, wheel locks will not be superfluous.

Pendulum mechanism

It is a movable suspension for a newborn with straps, which allows you to effectively rock the baby without picking him up. The pendulum can be longitudinal (along the baby’s body), transverse (respectively, across) or universal (swing in two directions).

Consider this point: depending on the type of pendulum, it is necessary to allocate at least another 10 centimeters to the length or width of the crib in order to swing it. There must be a possibility of fixation so that as the baby grows older he cannot swing on his own.

To download or not?

Doctors believe that it is not worth teaching a child to rock, and the tendency to “pump up” the baby’s pain in this way is considered unhealthy, since the reasons for crying can be very serious.

Proponents of motion sickness put forward their arguments: the child is accustomed to rocking - the mother’s walking during pregnancy, and in case of anxiety, rocking allows him to regain harmonious emotional condition. It is clear that we are not talking about deliberate shaking, but about smooth walking with a child in your arms. Approximately the same effect can be achieved if you rock your baby in a cradle, crib or stroller.

Box in the under-bed space

A baby's trousseau takes up a surprising amount of space, and spacious drawer under a newborn’s crib does an excellent job of storing diapers and clothes, and later on, toys. Many models are not equipped with a drawer, so we advise you to immediately decide whether you need one. If you purchase a stock without a box (such options are cheaper), but later feel that it is necessary, it will not be easy to choose a container that is suitable in size and style.

But even with such a “trifle” as a drawer, if not well thought out, operating difficulties may arise: for example, some of them roll out from under the bed on their own (especially true for models that have runners or pendulum mechanism). Other buyers note that if the box is without a lid, then dust accumulates in it - you have to pack its contents in bags, because, as a rule, children's things are stored in the box. If these points are important to you, it makes sense to look at the assembled model in the store, and only then make a purchasing decision.

Number of boxes different models may vary.

Silicone pads

They are located on the upper slats, but their relevance increases during the period when the child is cutting teeth. If we neglect this point, we will not only have chewed slats, but most importantly, constant worry that the child will bite off and swallow part of the covering, and worries about the safety of the first teeth.

Silicone pads, made of the same material as teething toys, are completely safe and protect the child’s teeth and bed slats from damage.

Completeness of the mattress

Usually mattresses are sold separately, so the buyer has the opportunity to individually choose suitable option. It makes sense to look for the “right” mattress (Read the article “How to choose a children’s mattress”). As for the sizes, the gap between the mattress and the walls should be minimal, no more than 1-2 cm.

If the mattress comes complete with a crib, you eliminate the need for a separate selection of this important element.

Bottom version

The bottom can be slatted or solid. The advantages of the first option are that the mattress is constantly ventilated. This means that they will not linger in it unpleasant odors and moisture.

Removable slats and the distance between them

A grown-up child constantly strives to get out of the crib, but it is clear that he will hardly be able to climb over the side without falling. It’s still too early to remove the side wall - the baby can easily fall out in his sleep. But if the side wall slats are removed, we get perfect option, in which the child himself, without the help of parents, has the opportunity to get out, but there is no threat of falling while sleeping.

As for the distance between the slats, it is desirable that it be within 6-7 cm: if the slats are spaced more often, there is a high risk that the baby’s arm or leg will get stuck between them; if less often - the head.

Beautiful excesses

Sometimes the manufacturer places beauty higher than safety and ease of use. It's good if you have the opportunity to inspect already assembled bed, personally make sure that it does not have sharp corners that the child and parents can hit.

Let's say, beautiful elements - knobs. In practice, they cause a lot of trouble: sleeves constantly catch on them and elbows hit. The same can apply to the figured edge of the headboards.

Material of manufacture

Traditionally, baby cribs have been made from wood, a natural, breathable material considered best for babies. Today wooden beds serious competition came from metal ones, as well as those made from chipboard and MDF.

Experts concerned about the health of the child have no complaints about wood, but only if safe varnish or paint was used for its processing. Alder, beech, oak, maple, birch and pine are used for production. Pine cribs are the cheapest, but it is the softest type of wood, i.e. Marks from the baby’s teeth will definitely remain on it.

MDF is a tile material made from wood fibers. Its advantage is increased reliability compared to wood; In addition, it is safe, since no harmful resins are used in its production. The variations in the use of this material are different: there are cribs that are made exclusively from MDF (from the manufacturer Vlana), there are options that combine MDF and chipboard (Vlana), MDF and wood.

But chipboard often releases formaldehyde, and although cribs using it have a very attractive price, we advise against such a purchase. If your choice falls on a model made using chipboard, ask the seller for a hygiene certificate and a certificate of conformity to personally verify that during production harmful substances were not used. A manufacturer such as Vlana has products made from a combination of MDF and chipboard.

Metal is used to make very durable and, as a rule, externally extremely attractive models of children's beds, which are in the assortment of the manufacturer Lider Kids. If you plan to purchase a bed that can be used for both the second and third child, then a metal crib will cope with this task. TO possible disadvantages Metal structures can be attributed to their high cost.

Having set your priorities, you can easily create for yourself a list of the most preferred quality and functional characteristics, and only then decide on a specific model. With this approach, you will never have to regret your purchase.

THREE "DON'T" WHEN PURCHASING

There are no small details in the production of cribs for newborns. The smell of varnish can cause allergies; improperly processed wood - small splinters; chipped plastic elements - cuts.

A specific smell in a new crib is a common occurrence, but, of course, it should be a barely noticeable aroma, and in order to avoid allergic reactions The assembled and unpacked purchase must be kept in a ventilated area for at least two to three weeks: after the specified time, the smell should disappear. This feature - main reason, according to which experts advise purchasing a bed in advance, at least two weeks before the expected date of birth of the child.

Specialists of the Daughters-Sons online store recommend paying attention to the following aspects that will allow you to avoid purchasing a low-quality, and therefore unsafe, crib for your child:

Important

• Do not purchase a bed that has uneven frame processing or visible damage: even small crack poses a great threat to the baby's health.
• If the bed is made using varnish or paint, do not be lazy to look at the hygienic certificate and the certificate of conformity: it records what materials were used in the manufacture: lead and formaldehyde should not appear among them, and the “correct” paints are made from resins on water based; Do not purchase a crib that emits a noticeable smell of paints and varnishes.
• Refuse to purchase if they are plastic and metal elements are not “recessed” into the frame material.

Does a high price guarantee impeccable quality?

The quality and cost of a children's bed are two values ​​that are not directly related to each other. The lower threshold of the price tag starts from 1,500 rubles, but the best demand among Russians is for models that range from 3 to 15 thousand rubles. Upper bar The cost is limited only by your financial capabilities.

Certainly, famous brand- a relatively reliable guarantee of high-quality and safe performance of the bed. But inexpensive and simple models with the right mattress and purchased from a reputable store or chain (not from the market or secondhand) can also be a good and healthy place for your baby to sleep.

What does the cost of the product consist of? Oddly enough, the material from which the stock is made does not play a primary role in setting the price, but it is significantly increased additional functions(for example, a pendulum), design and, of course, brand.

Star pick

• Singer Beyoncé purchased for her beloved daughter a spacious exclusive Vetro crib from NurseryWorks, made of transparent acrylic and equipped with a mattress from the same manufacturer. The cost of such a luxurious bed was 3.5 thousand dollars.
• Actress Dana Devon's needs are much more modest: she preferred an elegant metal crib Star Finial from Corsican Iron Furniture in a classic style, with hand-finishing, thin rods and high tops costing “only” $1.7 thousand.

WHERE TO BUY A CHILD CROB?

The best option for making a purchase are large chain stores and good online stores: the opportunity to purchase there defective goods reduced to a minimum.

Purchasing on the market is associated with a number of risks - for example, the prevalence of counterfeits; cheap cribs made of low-quality materials that pose a threat to the baby’s health.

As for purchasing a bed that has already been used, this is allowed under one condition: the product is not damaged. But the mattress needs to be replaced with a new one.

When choosing, it is important to pay attention to:

1. Decide where the bed will be placed; Based on this, determine the desired dimensions of the product
2. Decide on the type of crib (cradle; classic; transformer; playpen bed) and the material from which it should be made (solid wood, MDF, chipboard or metal)
3. Decide on the desired functionality of the selected product

• Is it necessary to change the bottom level?
• possibility to extend the berth (for transformers)
• Is it important to have a car wall and the ability to remove the side wall?
• the presence of runners for swinging (and the ability to fix them in a stationary state)
• the presence of wheels (clamps for them)
• pendulum mechanism (and its type - longitudinal, transverse, universal - taking into account the space that you are ready to allocate for placing a crib)
• drawer in the underbed area
• silicone pads for the top rails
• complete with a chest of drawers and/or changing table (for transformers), as well as variations of subsequent transformation: into a teenage bed plus an addition: a free-standing chest of drawers, desk with a cabinet, bedside table, chest of drawers and bookshelves; We also recommend that you consider purchasing a bed, chest of drawers and changing table (or changing board or mattress) separately

Example of choosing a crib

You are about to have a baby; the room in which it will be located is small, and the space allocated for it is limited to dimensions of 130x130 cm; Enough so that a baby up to three years old can sleep in it. Thus, a standard crib 120x60 cm will fit here quite well, and there is even some extra space left over.

Popular manufacturers

Well-known manufacturers carefully monitor compliance with the technology for manufacturing children's products. According to customers, the products of the following companies are particularly reliable, beautiful and well-thought-out in design:

• Red Star
• Kubanlesstroy
• Gandylyan
• Vedrus
• LLC "RIO-SP"
• SKV-Company
• Carat

conclusions

Important requirements that the bed must meet are the ability to change the level of the bottom, the pendulum mechanism, silicone pads and the drawer. The desired material from which the product should be made is strong wood, so that for the next children you will not need to purchase another one. Because The space is limited in length, but there is a margin in width; the pendulum mechanism must be transverse.

All of the above requirements are met by cribs from the manufacturers Kubanlesstroy and Krasnaya Zvezda.

A high-quality and beautiful crib is one of the most important factors providing healthy sleep your baby and his harmonious development in the first months of life. But acquisition is only half the battle. You will also have pleasant troubles with choosing bed linen, selecting soft bumpers, a canopy, and toys for the crib.

The crib will be the place where the baby will spend most of his time in the first months of life. A number of requirements are put forward for such a piece of furniture: it must be comfortable for the child, safe and beautiful in order to harmoniously fit into and develop the child’s imagination. In addition, many parents also have functional requirements, such as ease of transportation, combination in the bed, in addition to a sleeping place, also of a cabinet for linen or toys, a changing table or playpen, etc.

However, the most main role The material from which it is made plays a role, since the strength of this piece of children's furniture and the health of the child depend on it. Most often you can find cribs for newborns made of wood, plastic, chipboard, synthetics and other materials. Depending on this, cribs for newborns are classified.

Choosing crib material for newborns

Wooden beds

The leaders in all respects are beds made of natural wood; this material is environmentally friendly, it breathes on its own and helps the baby breathe. Various types of wood are used in production, less strong and budget options- pine, birch, spruce, and stronger and more expensive - oak, beech, cherry. Of course, the stronger the wood species, the less susceptible it is to any mechanical damage.

It is also worth noting that furniture made of natural wood always looks expensive and durable, and looks great in any room design. Meet classic style from ordinary unpainted wood or painted in various colors and children's drawings, cartoon plots and others. Both will undoubtedly look beautiful in a child's room. But if we talk about the health of the child, it is important to take into account that the paint and varnishes used in production meet all safety standards and do not contain various toxic substances, such as lead. To be sure that you will not harm your baby, do not hesitate to ask the seller when purchasing, quality certificates and all relevant documents about the manufacturer and materials that were used.

Wooden beds always come first

Plastic cribs

Plastic cribs look quite stylish and modern. They are light in weight and easy to care for, and come in various colors and modifications. For example, you can find a cradle in which you can easily rock a baby. Also, it can easily be converted into a sleeping place for a teenager. It is quite economical and convenient.

The main point that is important to pay attention to when using such material is the quality of the plastic itself. Indeed, during its production, often unscrupulous manufacturers may use various harmful and toxic substances in order to save money. Therefore, when buying this type of furniture, you need to familiarize yourself with the same quality certificates, which can only confirm the safety of this purchase.

Functionality is more than plastic beds

Inexpensive cribs made of chipboard, MDF and synthetics

A crib for newborns made of chipboard or MDF is an inexpensive choice for budget-conscious parents, but it can be unsafe for health, since toxic substances are used in the production of these materials. Having bought such a bed out of ignorance, it is important to monitor the integrity of the coating of the wooden element.

Synthetic cribs are an option for parents who travel a lot. The frame of such a bed is made of metal or plastic, and the main part and side walls made of a special mesh or fabric that serves as excellent protection for the child. They are convenient because they fold easily and at the same time fit into the trunk of a car, can be used as a playpen, are light in weight and inexpensive, durable and easy to maintain. Having opted for this option, you should take a closer look at the quality of workmanship, the strength of the fasteners and fabric, as well as the safety of the paints used.

By saving on a bed, we save on the child’s health
