Baby Furniture Cribs For Your New Baby

November 23, 2009 by Jeffrey Bruce · Leave a Comment 

Baby furniture cribs are the main piece of furniture in the nursery. A bassinet can be used during the early weeks of a baby’s life, but there comes the time that you eventually need to invest in a crib in order to be sure that the baby can be kept safe.

Convertible cribs are some of the most popular cribs available today. Many of these cribs will eventually convert to a toddler bed. The convertible crib saves money as it allows you to purchase only one bed to be used for several years. You will also find cribs that can be converted to attach to your bedside and allow you as parents to co-sleep with your child.

You will also find that there are cribs that are able to gently rock a baby to sleep. While this could be a plus when the child is young, it may set you up for a difficult transition when it is time for the baby to move to a regular bed.

Baby furniture cribs must be a safe place for your baby to sleep. These safety tips can help to ensure that the child is able to sleep in a baby crib that is safe.

Be cautious when purchasing a used crib. The crib must be in like new shape and have all of the parts. While it may be possible to order replacement parts for a crib in good shape, do not use the crib if parts are missing. Without all the parts that are designed for the holding your baby, the crib could collapse and cause injury to the child.

Check the distance between the slats on a crib. If a soda can will fit through the slats when parallel to them, then the slats are too far apart for safety.

Crib mattresses should fit snugly in the bed. If there is more than an inch of space, it is too much and is not safe for the baby.

Corner posts must not extend more than one sixteenth of an inch above the side rails. Otherwise they can cause the clothing of a child to become entangled and cause a suffocation risk.

Make sure that you securely tighten all of the bolts and screws on the baby’s crib. Once all the bolts and screws are tight, check one final time before putting your baby in the bed. Make sure that these connections are tight at least once every month.

Latches that hold the rails in place need to be secure enough that the child cannot open them on accident. Do not allow stuffed animals or extra blankets in the bed during the first few months of the child’s life when SIDS is a danger. These extra items can add to the risk factors.

While mobiles can attach to the rails of a baby crib and provide the baby with many hour of stimulating entertainment, they should be removed before the child reaches the sitting up stage. This will prevent the baby from accidentally pulling down the mobile.
