The child spends most of the time in his sleep until six months. Therefore, the choice of a berth should be approached with all responsibility. Our ancestors placed newborns exclusively in the cradle. It was believed that her form was a charm for a child. In Russia, Orthodox priests allowed to put a child there only after the baptismal rite and the reading of a special prayer.
The simplicity cradle is a great option for those who value comfort combined with sophistication. The first few months after birth, being in the cradle is much preferable for the baby than in a standard bed. In this "cocoon" the baby feels much calmer, because it reminds him of his mother’s tummy. The cradle is made in soft pastel colors and fits perfectly into most interiors of children's rooms.

Textile
Cribs for newborns "Simplisiti" have several modifications. They differ in color and decoration. The cradle is equipped with a mattress. Included is a sheet with an elastic band.
All textile elements of the Simplicity baby cradle are sewn of hypoallergenic, breathable cotton, including a folding hood and a basket for toys or linen under the bed. All fabric components are held on the buttons, which greatly facilitates the care of them.
Electronic motion sickness system
The first months of the baby’s life, parents have to constantly carry the baby in their arms. The crib "Simplisiti" with an electronic system of motion sickness will save you from this. The baby can be left in the cradle by turning on the automatic motion sickness system, and calmly do household chores. A few gentle melodies before bedtime will surely please the child. A vibration system is included in the electronic unit - an excellent tool for colic. Put a warm sheet in the crib, and the baby on her tummy on it and turn on the vibration. Children, as a rule, calm down at the same time. A small vibration massage is also recommended for crumbs with increased or decreased muscle tone.
Above the crib is a merry-go-round with fun lights and toys. A mobile with funny plush animals will attract the attention of a baby. Soft toys can be removed and washed, or replaced with others if desired.
A cozy nest is equipped with a remote control. With it, the melodies on the mobile change, the night light and the vibration or motion sickness modes are turned on.
Cradle transformation
The simplicity cradle has five levels of height, which makes it possible to put it on the bed or sofa of the parents. The side wall can be lowered for easy access to the child. The kit includes fasteners that fix the crib so that it stays in place. Remember to lock the wheels. A hood is located above the cradle, which can be raised or lowered and, if necessary, removed. Its function is to protect the child from bright light during sleep.
The cradle easily moves around the apartment. You can take it with you to the kitchen, bathroom or living room. Such a tour of the house will be useful for the child and will give mom the opportunity to cope with daily affairs.
The crib "Simplicity" is easily transformed into a rocking chair or changing table. The wheels are removed with one movement of the hand, and the legs turn into runners for motion sickness.
Using a cradle as a changing table is very convenient. Especially if there is not enough room in the room. Women who have just given birth often have a backache, so bending over a sofa or bed is difficult for them. Several levels of the crib make it possible to adjust the pelenator according to your height.
Disadvantages of the cradle
There are a lot of reviews about this model, it is worth getting acquainted with them in order to decide whether a cradle is needed for an infant. The Simplicity cradle, along with many advantages, has a number of drawbacks that parents discovered during operation.
Minuses:
- Hood when raising and lowering makes a crack, which can wake the baby.
- The cradle does not pass into narrow doorways.
- The carousel has only three tunes, one of which is just the ringing of bells. You need to make an effort to push the mobile to the side.
- Some children are afraid of the vibration of the cradle.
- The nightlight itself turns off after five minutes.
Despite the shortcomings that the Simplicity cradle has, parental reviews are often positive. The conclusion about whether to buy a crib or not, do it yourself.
Cost
I liked the review, and you realized that the newborn needs a simplicity cradle? The price of the cradle of the American brand in online stores fluctuates around 7-8 thousand. The life of the cradle is short. This allows you to sell a used bed in good condition and return most of the amount.
General requirements for a newborn's room
To make the baby comfortable, remember that there are special requirements for the room where the baby will be.
Air temperature should be between 18-20 ° C. If this condition is met, the baby will not freeze and will not overheat.
Check the humidity in the room with a hygrometer. The optimal indicator is 50-70%. If the air is dry, install a humidifier. It’s great if there are several indoor plants in the room.
Remove everything that collects dust: carpets, decorative pillows, soft toys. Wet daily.
Ventilate the room several times a day for at least 40 minutes. The crib "Simplicity" closed on all sides protects the child from a draft.
The Simplicity trademark cares about the quality of its products, because it is designed for the smallest. The company's specialists managed to combine high technology and centuries-old traditions in child care.
