The birth of a baby is one of the main events in every family. In order for the child to be comfortable, a lot of necessary things are acquired.

A tiny person, first of all, needs a place where he will rest, sleep and watch a funny mobile during the first months of his life. The bed is the main piece of furniture that should be chosen wisely, as it will have to be used for another three years. And after the baby is older, it is also worth setting aside time to buy a new bed for sleeping. In the article, we will consider what models of beds are, what to look for when choosing, and the editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" has prepared for you a rating of the best beds for 2020.

The need for a cot

Why is it important to buy a baby cot? In the first days of life, the baby is almost all the time in the arms of the parents, in particular, the mother. Since the main way to quench thirst and hunger is breastfeeding, with the rare exception of artificial feeding. In any case, at least sometimes the mother needs to rest, and the safest place where you can leave the child is the bed, which is fenced with special rods and soft sides. Later, as feeding improves, mothers try to accustom the baby to a separate sleep and fall asleep on its own. In addition to the main purpose of the bed - sleep, up to three months, the child learns to learn about the world with the help of various toys.

After three years, the choice of a crib is also a priority for parents, since the baby can spin in a dream and fall off it. In the more adult period, children no less need a quality place to sleep.

Simultaneously with the crib, a mattress is purchased, which has a great influence on posture and the development of back muscles.

Safety requirements

The most important criterion when choosing a crib for any age of a child is safety. The following are the main indicators that affect the safety of the product:

• when purchasing a crib for a newborn or baby up to three years old, it is better to choose a type in which there are protective sides. They will protect you from falling. The main thing is that the distance between the slats is no more than 7 cm, since at a smaller distance, limbs can get stuck, and at a larger distance, the head;
• all parts of the crib should fit snugly to each other, there should be no gaps, cracks, otherwise the structure may loosen and fall with the baby to the floor;
• Many parents think that the lighter the bed, the better - this is wrong. The heavy structure will not allow the crumb to fill it up, if desired, to bend or climb over the sides;
• As a rule, in cots for babies up to 3 years old there are several levels of bed height, which allow you to choose the optimal one. It is worth noting that if the baby can already sit down and get up, then it is worth lowering the crib to the lower level;
• modern designs allow you to include various additional components of the crib, one of the innovations is the wheels, when the child grows up, this can cause problems, so you need to pay attention to the presence of clips.

The most important safety criterion for any product that is intended for a small child is build quality.

The structure must be completely free of sharp edges, raw materials, cracks, chips and other defects that can cause harm. Also, during the assembly process, the parts that connect the structure should fit snugly together and, as a result, be hidden from the eyes.

Based on the above, the following conclusions can be drawn, the bed should be:

• sustainable;
• durable;
• no sharp corners;
• made of natural materials.

Tips for choosing the best crib model

Professionals advise you to listen to a few tips that will help you subsequently avoid mistakes when choosing:

1. The crib should be at least 20-30 cm longer than the child.
2. The mattress is the main component of the bed, so you need to select not only the size, but also the filling.
3. The bed must be well ventilated, no confined spaces allowed.
4. Natural material is the best option for a baby of any age.
5. Constructions that include parts glued together must not contain toxic substances.
6. When purchasing a universal bed with various functions, you must choose the option that allows you to make the bed classic.
7. The age of the child is the main criterion for choosing.
8. Each model must have quality and conformity certificates. Ask the seller for all the necessary documents.
9. Do not postpone collecting the crib in order to check the availability of all components and, if necessary, exchange the goods.
10. The bed should not be very high, as babies tend to spin in their sleep.

The main components of the bed

As mentioned above, the mattress is the main element of the crib. Its choice should be taken even more carefully, since the baby's sleep will depend on its composition. When buying, you should give preference to natural fillers to avoid allergies and discomfort. There are many products from various manufacturers on the market, initially conduct a product analysis, then you need to purchase a bed and measure its dimensions, and only then buy the desired mattress version.

Optional accessories

In addition to the standard design, the following accessories are included with the crib:

1. Bumpers. Basically, they are necessary for a baby up to one year old. They provide protection against blows, falling out of the child's limbs from the crib and drafts. You can find various options for the sides, ranging from the classic - square to the design made in the form of pigtails.
2. Pillow. According to the recommendations of pediatricians, a pillow is not needed for a child under one year old. After a year, you can purchase a not very large model, but with a solid filler. As a rule, its size is 40 * 40 cm. When choosing a pillow, it is also better to give preference to natural compounds, since artificial fillers can cause allergies and increase sweating.
3. Blanket. For the child, you need to purchase several blankets for warm and cold weather. Often, children rarely sleep under a blanket until they are three years old. Older children are already beginning to show interest in the opportunity to hide and fall asleep in the warm and soft embrace of their favorite blanket. Do not buy a product that is too large, the child may get tangled in the fabric.
4. Linens. Cotton is the most natural and harmless material composition. It will allow you to fully enjoy your sleep.
5. Canopy. In practice, it is acquired more for beauty.But if the family lives in a private house or in busy areas of the city, then this will be an excellent option to protect the child from excess dust, insects, bright sun and other unnecessary components.

Does the color of the crib matter

First of all, the color of the crib is matched to the overall design of the room. Usually, parents try to choose warm bedding colors for newborns. For older children, shades of calm tones are also chosen. It should be understood that a child who has just been born is very impressionable and learns to know the world, therefore, rough colors and shades of black and gray will only scare the baby. In practice, cots are made of white, light brown and beige materials. These options will fit into almost any room design and will be an excellent decoration for the apartment as a whole. After all, it is the sight of a beautiful light crib and a quietly sniffing baby in it that will cause a lot of positive emotions in all family members.
