Baby Cribs Come In All Sorts Of Shapes And Styles.
|
When you first bring baby home one of the first things you are going to need is a baby crib. In fact, a crib is one of the most important pieces of nursery furniture you will invest in. It is important to remember that baby cribs come in so many variations that there is no need to compromise on any aspect of what you are looking for.
There are many things to consider when choosing a crib for your little one. Above all, your child's crib needs to be safe. There are a few specific safety standards to be aware of when purchasing a crib: the slats should be no more than 2 3/8" apart, the crib mattress should have a snug fit with less than the width of two fingers between the mattress and the sides of the crib, there should be no decorative cutouts on the headboard or footboard, the corner posts should be no more than 1/16" above the end panels, and avoid any cribs that may have been painted by a previous owner as the possibility of lead paint being present could pose a serious health threat to your infant.
Ease of use is another big factor when deciding on the perfect crib for the nursery. Often you will have your child sleeping in your arms and you will want to be able to raise and lower the crib side to put baby down to sleep. You want to make sure you can do this with one hand both noiselessly and effortlessly. Adjustability is also vital, as you will want the ability to lower the mattress in the crib as your baby grows.
Baby cribs come in all sorts of shapes and styles. Portable cribs, convertible cribs, round cribs - the list goes on. The style you choose is up to you. Have fun matching your furniture pieces in the nursery with the perfect crib for your baby. Your little boy or girl will thank you after they have had a nice sleep.
