Before deciding on the choice of a bed for the newborn child, parents have to understand that they have to be the main criteria comfort, safety and ergonomics. These also should be guided, choosing model for purchase.
What is important when choosing a bed
The bed first of all has to be safe. Experts impose a set of requirements to materials from which children's things, and the main thing are executed from them – naturalness. The tree conforms to this requirement as well as possible. It is, one may say, "live" and real what material. It is good if the bed surface from a tree is simply subjected to careful grinding and isn't covered with poisonous paints and varnishes.
Of course, it is often much more beautiful than a bed from polypropylene or plastic as these materials give to designers much more opportunities. But if the choice is decided to be stopped on a similar product, it is necessary to demand by all means the certificate confirming harmlessness of material. Executed from a rod or a rattan of a bed cradle can seem cozy and we are capable to bring into affection the retrostyle. But such acquisition is impractical – it is possible to use a wattled bed approximately to six-month-old age of the child. Hardly the kid will learn to get up, adhering for a support, wattled designs can be insufficiently spacious and steady for him. When choosing beds it is necessary to mention sanitary standards by all means. Rods should have no width more, than 6-7 cm that the curious child couldn't push between them the head. For a bottom there have to be at least two levels of height which could be adjusted that the grown-up kid didn't drop out of a bed. The bed should have no acute angles and cracks which would be wider than centimeter, or small details which the child could turn off and thrust into a mouth.
Comfort and ergonomics
The bed by all means has to be convenient, a berth – sufficient for the kid. The standard – 120 cm in length and 60 cm width. That the weak children's backbone could be created correctly, the huge value has a mattress. It has to be made of natural fabrics, to be not too soft, but also not really rigid. As filler coconut flakes perfectly approach – material has remarkable property to absorb not only moisture, but also smells. When choosing also the way of laying of the kid is of great importance. If you don't want to leave the kid also at night, it is better to get a bed such that its side panel could be removed completely. It can be put near a bed of parents – it is convenient both for the child and for mom. If the kid best of all falls asleep at a motion sickness, the bed also will perfectly cope with it. For example, it can be a rocking chair, a cradle or more difficult pendular design. Concerning ergonomics the choice should be made depending on preferences of parents. The child needs many things: from a changing table to a box under toys. Some of models of cribs successfully combine several pieces of furniture, necessary for the kid, at once. In spite of the fact that such beds aren't mobile, they strongly save the place in the nursery and the budget of family.
