When choosing the best crib for a newborn baby, parents should know that the baby’s sound and restful sleep depends on it. Therefore, in this article we will look at the rating of the best cribs and recommend which one is better to choose. This top will be based on reviews of fathers and mothers who purchased any model and made certain conclusions, and also told others what the pros and cons of the chosen bed are. In addition, we will talk about what types of cribs there are and how they differ from each other.

Types of cribs for newborns

Before we look at the top cribs for newborns, let's talk about what types of cribs there are. According to their design, children's crib models are:

Ordinary (classic) - look like a sleeping place, surrounded on all sides by lattice walls. Typically, one of the sides can rise slightly, and the level of the berth, on the contrary, lowers. This ensures that when the child grows up, he will not be able to fall out of it or get out on his own.
Cribs with a transverse or longitudinal pendulum are needed to rock a baby to sleep.
Sleeping areas with a drawer at the bottom of the bed or a chest of drawers and a changing area on the side. Such models allow you to store all the baby’s things and hygiene items in one place, and change the baby’s clothes on a special table.
Transformers - I combine a crib, a chest of drawers, and a sleeping place that the baby will use when he grows up. Such beds can be made in the form of a collapsible sofa, a more adult bed, or they can contain a whole complex for sleeping, playing and storing things and toys.

Cradles for newborns are becoming increasingly popular. They are recommended for babies from the first days to six months. Limited space helps eliminate anxiety and deep sleep for the baby, and its compact dimensions allow you to move the cradle close to the parent's bed even in a cramped bedroom.

Which crib is best for a newborn?

Of course, choosing a crib for your beloved child is a very important moment that needs to be approached wisely. To choose a good crib, parents need to remember a few important tips:

When choosing a place to sleep, pay attention to the material it is made of. It is important that it is natural.
You also need to carefully inspect the selected model for the presence of sharp corners. If they are, it is better to look for another product.
In addition, it is necessary that the paintwork be well sanded. Otherwise, the child may be injured.
The presence of wheels will help mom or dad easily move the crib where needed, so it’s better to still have wheels.
Some models are not equipped with a pendulum. It's not a big deal if your child falls asleep on his own. If you are in doubt, then just in case it is better to buy a crib with a pendulum.

In conclusion, we would like to add that price is something that parents also pay attention to. Of course, you should not buy a very cheap model; it may turn out to be of poor quality and short-lived.

Basic requirements for the product

In a baby's room, the bed occupies one of the key places. When purchasing it, experts advise parents not to save money. After all, how a child feels in his sleep directly determines his health. When analyzing the design features of this product, you should choose safe and durable models. It is advisable to study the requirements that children's furniture must meet before purchasing it.

It is believed that a baby should have his own bed after three years. Until this time, you should give preference to the playpen.

When choosing the best children's bed, you need to pay attention to a number of important parameters:

Quality of material. Wood is considered the best raw material for a children's room. Such furniture perfectly “breathes” itself, promoting good ventilation. Natural woodland has a special energy and pleasant smell. Only the frame can be made from this material; MDF is quite suitable for other parts. In this case, the bed will meet hygienic requirements, since the wood does not contain toxic substances.
Safety. According to the rules, the bottom of the bed is located at a short distance from the floor. Furniture should not have sharp corners or rough surfaces. For kids, it is necessary to have sides that will protect them from unexpected falls while playing or relaxing; Over time they can be removed.
Strength of the frame and side backs. Children's furniture must withstand heavy loads.
Ergonomic design. The bed should be compact in size. Its functionality is enhanced by additional drawers designed to store various things.
Reliability of fastenings. An important factor that determines the service life of furniture.

Modern furniture has a wide variety of designs, from which you can choose a model that suits the style of the nursery. Bright colors, extraordinary shapes, thematic prints will not leave either children or their parents indifferent. It is recommended to choose furniture together with your child.

Characteristics of the “Baby” children’s bed, modifications and their features

In a small room, it is recommended to place a rectangular bed with the headboard against a blank wall. This will save space and protect the child from falling. Disadvantages of this placement: you can only approach from one side; if the bedroom is narrow, it visually becomes even smaller.

In the nursery, you can place furniture perpendicular to the long side, making the room visually more square. Round and oval shaped beds look good in the middle of spacious rooms. Such products are not suitable for small rooms.

Non-standard

When placing a child's bed, it is important to consider:

It is not recommended to place the bed opposite the door. This is believed to unbalance the energy.
The headboard should face north.

Do not place the bed near electrical outlets, windows, electrical appliances, bookshelves, mirrors, radiators.

This model is often preferred by families with 2-3 children. This is a modern alternative to the bunk beds that were popular in the past. They are often called “matryoshka dolls”. The furniture departments offer several modifications of such products:

With separate tiers. The lower one is roll-out, it is not connected to the upper level, which can be reached by stairs.
With tied tiers.
With niches for storing bedding items.
Children's bed with a small table. An excellent option for those who want to save space and money. During the day, the child learns lessons, and at night the lower level forms a sleeping place.
With a low tier. With such a product you will definitely need a warm mattress so that the baby does not catch a cold.
Three-tier models. This is a great bed for three children or for those times when friends often stay overnight. When folded, the product is a cabinet that looks like a chest of drawers. If necessary, the furniture can be transformed into three sleeping places.

Transformer

When conventional furniture models are still too big for the baby, and the cradle is already small, it’s time to purchase a transformer. The model combines many functions and is the next stage after a children's side bed, which is purchased so that the baby feels comfortable, but already gets used to resting in his sleeping place. The length of the product can be increased as the child grows. The result is a children's combined bed that can be used for many years.

This crib is not suitable for small spaces.

How to choose the best model for a newborn?

When starting to look for a crib for a newborn baby, you should consider the following parameters:

what age is it suitable for? These can be cradles (cradles) for babies from birth to six months or classic models that are suitable for babies from birth until they reach three, five or even more years of age;
the material from which the structure is made. This is mainly wood (birch) - natural, environmentally friendly and safe for children;
swing type. The safest is the pendulum mechanism. As the child grows up, he can be fixed in one position so that the bed does not sway. With structures on skids and wheels, everything is much more complicated. They are unstable and when the baby tries to get up or walk around in the crib, they begin to sway, creating a certain danger;
base height adjustment. When babies cannot crawl and stand up yet, mothers, in order not to bend too low, can set the bottom higher, and over time lower it, to prevent the baby from falling out;
removable side wall. As your baby gets older, he will be able to get in and out of the crib on his own. Or, at a very young age, he can be placed next to you, but, at the same time, on a separate sleeping bed;
functionality. It is very convenient if, in addition to a sleeping place, the structure can be used in other ways, for example, as a playpen, a changing table, or if it has drawers, for example, at the bottom.
