Cribs tend to “grow” with the owner. The child has reached the age of two, he has grown stronger, increased growth and weight. He sleeps tight in a small crib for newborns. Parents need to decide which model to choose for their baby in the new age period. A children's bed with a sideboard from 2 years old is best suited. For pre-schoolers this is the perfect sleeping place. What is a children's bed with a side from 2 years?
This is a single regular crib. She has sides with sides with a height of 10-15 centimeters. Children often toss and turn in a dream, and the sides can keep them from falling, leave the pillow in place, preventing it from slipping to the floor. The same goes for blankets and sheets. Often in the design of such cribs below drawers are provided. They successfully store baby's toys. In addition, this bed is equipped with wheels for the convenience of moving it to any place in the room. If someone does not like such offers, you can replace the bed with a sofa with the same sides.
Children's bed with a side from 2 years: factors of choice
How to choose a bed correctly so that the baby is as comfortable as possible in a dream? There are several factors to consider. The first is what material it is made of. Best if it is a pine, beech or birch. You should immediately look away from those beds that contain formaldehyde varnishes in their coating. A sure sign pointing to them is brilliance. The varnish, which is prepared on the basis of water, does not give a blinding radiance, does not please the eye, but is safe for the child. Metal furniture lasts longer, but the material is very "cold." It is worth asking the store for the conclusion of the sanitary-epidemiological station on the product that you want to purchase for a healthy and healthy sleep for the baby. You should adjust your sense of smell and smell how the bed smells.
All resins harmful to the human body used in the processing of wood boards have a persistent unpleasant odor.
Check the bed base. It should be solid and slatted, and the mattress should have good ventilation. Now it is worth paying attention to the size of the future berth of the child. Its length should exceed the height of the baby by 20 centimeters. Cots designed for babies from two to five years have standard sizes: 140 by 70 centimeters and 150 by 80 centimeters.
Mattress
The next will have to choose a mattress. This is the most basic thing in a crib. You should choose only an even mattress, orthopedic, whose thickness is six centimeters. Coconut flakes with latex are considered environmentally friendly fillers. You also need to take care of the cover on the children's mattress.
Next, you need to pay attention to the design of the crib. If there are sharp corners, the slightest bumps, then it is better to abandon its acquisition and continue the search further.
Cots for girls
For the baby, the model should be chosen in the same way as for the boy, paying attention to the same factors.
But if the future mistress of a berth is a girl, you need to take care not only of maximum comfort, but also check the versatility of the crib. Boxes must be required. Girls love such "secret" places. Important design, which will appeal to the baby and will help in the education of her sensuality and femininity. What can she be? For example, the carriage is for Cinderella, and the daughter’s room resembles a palace in which everything is ready for the ball. The space of the room should be stylized accordingly. The room will become a fairy tale in which the girl will fall again and again.
Canopy
Another crib option for girls is with a special canopy. This will also give a fabulous effect that will resemble either an oriental tale or a cartoon about Aladdin. Such decorative decoration of the crib will fulfill the function of protection from the early rays of the sun. Of course, no matter how much mom and dad would like to surprise daughter, but you should not choose a crib and choose the environment for her room on your own. Let the child participate in the purchase of furniture that he or she will use. Thus, the baby will understand that he is a full member of the family.
Why at the very beginning the conversation went that a children's bed with a sideboard from 2 years to five would be an ideal purchase for parents and baby? Because it will provide mom, dad and their child a calm, safe and sound sleep.
Sometimes parents make such cots on order or on their own. Why is that?
Firstly, the baby will grow, and the side will be needed only during sleep. Secondly, there are quite few designs with removable sides. Therefore, parents need to be prepared to make a comfortable fence for the crib themselves. It is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Side
The protective edge for a children's bed, as a rule, is made in the form of a soft barrier. He joins the bed rails with strong ribbons, ties or Velcro fasteners. It is best to use natural fabrics such as calico, satin, flannel. These are warm and durable materials. If mom picks up fabric for the collar to match the bedding, the baby will be happy. This will help to foster a sense of harmony. The side must have a filler in order to fulfill the role of a mitigating factor at the right time.
Sintepon, foam rubber and non-woven fit. Such fillers in combination with rim fabric are very practical: they dry well after washing and do not cause allergies. Barriers can be fixed on three and four sides of the bed. Do not make the side too high so that it does not close the view of the baby and does not create an obstacle to the incoming air. If desired, the side can be designer decorated.
Sliding
There are many options for cots. Especially captivating parents are children's sliding beds with sides. What are these models? For example, there are chair beds that are very comfortable and easy to operate. Occupy assembled minimal space. Folding sofas are another kind of sleeping place for children. By the way, now they began to produce designs of such models with special enclosing sides.
