How to buy the baby crib?

by anndavis

A crib is the place where baby sleeps during the first 2 or 3 years. The main purpose of this little bed is to keep baby safe while they sleep, (and while they should be asleep). So while buying remember that the basic checks are for stability on their frames, check that there are no rough edges, and check for factory odours.

There are particular functions which are the must-have, first of all it should be properly sturdy to ensure that when the baby starts bouncing on it after a year or so, the crib is able to tolerate the weight. Most of the crib is supposed to be assembled at home. So make an effort to get the one which is simple to assemble. Another necessary option that you need to look for in the baby crib is cluster.

They are available really handy once you want to move the crib to a different location. But the clusters need to be lockable. Purchase the crib which has at least one drop side. Never forget to check out the latches as some of them could be easily opened by a child.

The bed mattress base inside should be an adjustable one so that the mattress could get installed within the crib whenever you change it as the baby grows.

Cribs generally come in a standard rectangular shape,but are available in a number of different styles and can vary widely in price depending on the materials used in their construction.

Crib types:

Standard cribs usually have either one or two drop sides--a side of the crib that can be easily lowered and raised to place baby inside without waking or disturbing her. Double drop sides offer more versatility, while single drop sides tend to be more stable. Look for drop sides that work smoothly and quietly.

Canopy cribs are stylish alternative to a standard crib, come equipped with a large post at each corner and a metal frame over the top that secures a fabric canopy. Canopies are often available in a variety of styles and colors that can be matched up with the rest of your nursery decor.

Convertible cribs are designed to convert from a standard crib to a toddler bed, love seat, or double bed. It?s good choice for parents, who want to save money and time, these cribs can help maket he transition to a bed less stressful for your child. One of the most popular convertible models is DaVinci Emily Convertible Baby Crib.


Bassinets and cradles as an alternative to a full-size crib for infant or newborn babies. They are available fort the first 3 or 4 mounths. These are convenient because they can be placed right next to the parent's bed at night for quick feedings and diaper changes.
Like bassinets, cradles are small sleeping beds for babies during their first few months. These can be placed near the parents at night and used as a portable sleeping bed at home during the day. Cradles are almost always equipped with a mechanism that produces side-to-side motion designed to lull baby to sleep.

Portable Cribs are compact versions of cribs. They can be easily fold up for storage or to put in a car for short trips where you will need a place for baby sleep. Good choice for travel and visits grandparents' house. Especially for travel highly reccomend BabyBjorn Travel Crib.
