TOP 10 best beds for newborns

The main types of cots

Before making a direct purchase and choosing a specific model, you should consider the features of the main types of children's furniture from the widest assortment that is presented on the domestic market.

Cradles

There are several types of cradles for newborn babies. Let's consider them in more detail:

1. Wicker cradles. Today, cradle-baskets made of wicker or rattan rods are again in vogue. Their main advantage is natural material. Such baskets are placed on legs and hung from the ceiling. The inner surface is lined with a soft mattress.
2. Electronically controlled cradles. The cradle is a metal structure covered with textiles. The main feature is the equipment with a mechanism that allows you to rock the child remotely.
3. Transformers. This is a standard infant bed, complete with a tiny cradle. It is securely fastened in the bed, and when the child grows up, it is removed. As a result, the baby sleeps in a regular bed.

The cradles have many advantages, however, new parents should understand that such beds are only suitable for children under 6 months old. When the child begins to sit down on his own, he will have to buy an older bed.

Classic cots

Another type of furniture for newborns is an unfading classic. These beds are suitable for babies from birth to three years of age. Product dimensions are standard - 120x60 centimeters.

A classic bed made of wood, metal or plastic can be equipped with:

• bottom height adjustment function;
• wheels;
• swing mechanism;
• lattice sides;
• removable sidewall.

The cost of classic models will depend on the equipment, the availability of additional components and the material from which the crib is made. The brand also plays an important role. The furniture of the promoted Italian companies is significantly more expensive than their Russian counterparts.

Transformers

Models “for growth”, or so-called transformers, are especially popular among parents. For example, a bed can be equipped with a changing table, chest of drawers. This design allows newborn clothes to be placed on nearby shelves, and bed linen can be stored in the lower drawers.

Transformation occurs by increasing the length and / or width of the stock. As a result, parents purchase a crib for several years ahead: first, it is a cradle, then a bed for a preschooler, and then school and even teenage furniture.

How is the increase in size achieved? When the child grows up, the drawer unit or chest of drawers is removed, and the small berth turns into a bed of standard dimensions. That is, the dimensions of the bed in 120x60 are transformed to 180x80 centimeters.

The removed chest of drawers is transformed into bedside tables, which will be of undoubted benefit at the moment when the child enters first grade.

Playpens

Such a bed is a kind of transformer that allows you to easily transfer the sleeping place to the play area. Typically, these beds are a frame made of metal and a textile shell. The latter can be easily removed, washed and disinfected.

The advantage of arenas is mobility, multifunctionality and compactness. When living in a small apartment, it is difficult to install both a bed and a play area at the same time, and the two-in-one model solves this problem.

Another great advantage is mobility. Some models are equipped with wheels, which is very convenient for moving around the room. There are designs on sale that can be folded and placed in a regular bag.

Today's playpen beds can be equipped with such additional elements as:

• changing table;
• developmental mat;
• mosquito net;
• mobile;
• game arc;
• devices for motion sickness.

All this allows you to use such designs not only in an apartment, on the street, in a country house. However, arenas also have some disadvantages - age and weight restrictions. When the child's body weight exceeds 13 - 15 kilograms, this model will have to be abandoned.

The best manufacturers of furniture for newborns

On the domestic market there is a huge variety of models of children's furniture, both from domestic and foreign manufacturers. Moreover, Russian products are not much inferior to their foreign counterparts. But first things first.

Among the most popular Russian manufacturers of children's furniture are the following brands:

• "The Red Star";
• "Kubanlesstroy";
• "Gandilyan";
• "Papaloni";
• "Agate";
• "Fairy".

The products of these brands are distinguished by the optimal combination of high quality and availability. Perhaps its design is not as thoughtful as that of foreign products, but it is made of natural materials.

Among the most famous foreign brands, there are companies from Italy and England that produce high-quality, status and even luxurious pieces of furniture. The brands Baby Italia, Bambolina, Giovanni and Pali stand out.

There are also products from Chinese companies such as Geoby and Lider Kids on the market. The products are distinguished by their original design and versatility. In addition, such furniture is quite reliable, durable and affordable.

The Polish brand Baby Care, which specializes in the manufacture of playpen beds, can be singled out separately. Such products are in demand among domestic parents who are forced to huddle in small apartments.
