Round bed for children, a variety of shapes and sizes, selection criteria

Choosing a crib for a newborn is a troublesome thing, especially if the parents are young and this is their first child. The product should not only have an attractive appearance, it must be functional, convenient and safe for the baby. The attention of many parents is increasingly attracted to a round children's bed, which is endowed not only with aesthetic qualities, but also with practicality. Manufacturers provide an abundance of round models and their design decisions - it is simply impossible to pass them by.

Shape convenience

Children's beds of round and oval shape are now at the peak of popularity and are considered the standard for modern children. Such a furniture product will be a good choice, which is distinguished by its special convenience and safety. Also, such models have a number of advantages:

rectangular options can disturb the sleep of a restless crumb, if its motor activity is increased, it often spins, touching sharp corners. A round or oval shape will also protect the grown up baby if he accidentally does not stand and falls in the crib. In addition, the rounded geometry will provide peace to the newborn, bringing it closer to the sensations of being in the womb;
the model gives parents the opportunity for maximum visibility - the child can be approached from all sides. The mother will always quickly respond to the actions of the baby inside the crib;
the model may seem too dimensional and non-standard for placement. But many note that the oval and round shapes, in contrast, are very mobile and compact. They save space, fit comfortably into the area of even a small room. This piece of furniture will neatly take up space in a corner or along a wall. In addition, bed variations for the round model are original and widely available. Most often they are developed by the crib manufacturers themselves.

Transformer Models

A bed for children, represented by a transformer model, is intended for all crumbs, from the first days of their life. This innovative interior solution is particularly versatile. Developments by manufacturers allow the use of some models even up to 8 years. The possibilities of operating such transformers are wide:

the first option is a cradle for a newborn baby. According to the assurances of psychologists, it is a compact limited space that will allow the baby to feel protected. In addition, unlike the rectangular "brothers", this bed does not take up much space;
as the child grows, the cradle will be replaced by an elongated version with the bottom down. Such a bed will not cause inconvenience. However, round mattresses in a crib should correspond to the parameters of a particular crib model;
when the baby is already able to climb into the crib and get off it, the front wall of the transformer can be removed - this way the model will turn into a prototype sofa. An extra bed moves to the parent's bedroom - this allows you to control the child at night, take him to you, if necessary, without getting out of bed;
The indirect purpose of the transformer is the ability to use it as a safe playpen. The bottom of the crib is lowered so that the baby does not have the opportunity to climb over the sides of the crib. So, a child can be left alone for a short time;
Many manufacturers offer parents additional accessories "for growth" for their transformers, which will allow you to upgrade a child's bed and use it up to 8 years.

Among the quality materials used, popular manufacturers prefer such massifs of wood as pine, maple, beech, alder, birch. These rocks are known for their resistance to deformation, chips, cracks. Such models of cribs are able to serve more than one child.

Round baby cots made of plywood or chipboard are unreliable and not durable. In addition, in the manufacture of these materials, chemicals harmful to babies are used.

Exterior design

Such a model will reliably last up to six months crumbs;
classic design - traditional models are made of wood. They are equipped with wheels, their bottom is adjustable in height. Most often, these cribs are transformers and serve more than 5 years;

Such furniture is absolutely safe - it’s not worth worrying about the fact that the child will fall out of it when swinging. The modification will relieve the mother a little in time, help lull the baby, take care of his good sleep;
add-on model - the advantage of a round add-on crib is that it allows you to put the baby next to the mother’s bed. In this case, the child forms a clear delineation of his own sleeping area. This technique is widely approved by world psychologists, is recognized as the best option for the proximity of a growing baby and mother.

Design decisions are diverse. The bed for the girl will have the appropriate styling and may differ from the models for boys. However, all manufacturers agree on compliance with safety requirements.

It is preferable to choose models with a rack bottom. This allows proper air circulation under the mattress.

All cribs are stable, equipped with high-quality fixing elements. Parts are securely attached to each other. Fasteners are particularly durable. The distance between the rails on the sides in accordance with sanitary standards is not more than 7 cm. This is required so that the baby could not stick his head between them and get stuck. Manufacturers exclude accidental loss of the child from the crib - they provide for the height of the sidewalls up to 26 cm above the mattress level.
