Many parents try to choose the best furniture for their child for their child. Now there are a large number of interesting options that differ from each other in many factors. There are universal models for boys and girls, and individual options are also on sale. The most popular are car beds for children.
The article will describe tips on how to choose such furniture for a child, what you need to pay attention to, and how to assemble other equally important nuances.
How to choose a car bed?
If a child shows an increased interest in cars, and it doesn’t matter whether it is a boy or a girl, you might consider buying a bed in the shape of a car. Many parents believe that it is better to choose the standard option, sliding or not. Moreover, they often choose overall car beds (reviews about them are described below), which will not have to be changed for the next 5-10 years. But if the child loves cars very much, then it is better to make a really pleasant surprise for your child. Of course, this option will come out much more expensive, and it is unlikely that parents will find models designed for a 17-year-old. Accordingly, such a bed will last a maximum of 5 years.
You should always pay attention to the reviews of people who have already bought your favorite model. If in the comments they take off photos of happy children, then there is no doubt - the choice is right.
If a girl wants furniture such as a car bed, then you should not immediately discard this option. There are also models for princesses on sale: with butterflies, birds, ladybugs. Color variations are also relevant: pink, yellow, red cars can be found with ease.
For starters, parents should look for options on the Internet. Prices and differences between cots will vary greatly, so to find at least an approximate type, you have to work hard - it's not five to ten minutes. If the child has already developed his own tastes, then he can participate in the discussion and choice.
Cost and differences
The price category of car beds can be palpable for those parents who are not able to pay a large amount. The cost starts from 4 thousand rubles. Consumers do not recommend looking at such options. In the reviews they write that cheap models smell very bad chemistry (weathered a month or two), the film with a pattern erases quite quickly, and the frame is quite fragile.
More expensive options have an impressive length (190 cm). All children like them very much, because you can start the engine, turn on the headlights, the body is made almost like the original. Such options can easily lead any child into a wild delight. However, the cost of such car beds (Audi, Ferrari, BMW, etc.) is so high that you can buy a real supported domestic car for the money. If parents are not ready to give such an amount, then it is better for them to dwell on a more or less high-quality version, not such a “cool” model. The main thing is that the child likes her design.
Benefits of Car Beds
All available options at an average and high price look great, they have good frames. Most models receive positive feedback from customers. Assembly is usually easy.
Bed Car Gold Magazine Team R1
Consider the configuration, specifications and assembly process on the machine Gold Magazine Team R1, which is sold for 12 thousand rubles.
A packing box with a bed for a boy weighs 60 kg. Its approximate dimensions are 170 × 80 cm.
The wheels are painted on the side walls, but there are also round wood parts. They can, if desired, be screwed in place of the image. Moreover, they rotate. Many car beds do not have such an additional advantage, so the reviews about this model are quite positive on this nuance. Also included is documentation: how to use, assembly rules and a certificate of quality and safety.
Another manufacturer put fasteners in a box. There is also a key with 6 faces. It is slightly inconvenient, but you can work with it. Consumers in the reviews note that it is even better to use a screwdriver, a drill and a screwdriver - they are not included in the package, this is logical.
Car bed assembly
First you need to free up enough space for the car bed. It is forbidden to move it after assembly - it is allowed to move it only by lifting it completely above the floor. That is why the process should be performed only in the place where the child should sleep.
You need to attach the back wall to the plate. It’s easy: just screw the bolts into the holes. This is done using a hexagon. You need to be extremely careful, since at this stage it will be easy to break down the bottom wall of the car bed for the boy.
Next, screw the front surface. It is she who is the base for the slab with a mattress. The process is simple, for maximum convenience it is better to install the model on one of the sides.
It is necessary to fasten three boards: grille, headlights. First you need to put the first. The fact is that many in reviews write that without a grille it is difficult to understand how the headlights are screwed in: correctly or upside down.
Next, set the bar. For it, you will need 8 bolts that perform the functions of a coupler: they help fix the headlights, the grille and the wall. Moreover, it is an additional part for the stable installation of the sleeping plate.
Continue assembly
Install side walls. Which of the two to start with is decided only by the person who is assembling it. The main thing is to install a car bed before (reviews confirm that it is easy to do) on its side. All actions should be as accurate as possible. The fact is that the sides are quite heavy, and they can easily damage the frame. It will be easy for a strong man to establish a surface in a few seconds, having got into all the fastenings, but his mother or grandmother will have to make a lot of effort.
It is necessary to further establish a second side surface. The main feature of this process is the following nuance: with sharp and careless actions, you can easily damage a previously installed part. It is allowed to put the mattress on the car bed (positive reviews), this will protect the side of the car from deformation and scratches. It is immediately necessary to tighten the 4 bolts that are the support. They have plastic knobs. Thanks to them, the bed will be stable.
Work with the base
While the bed-car (great reviews about it) is on its side, you need to attach the right and left panels to the base. This should be done in this position, since the bottom is as accessible as possible. In the kit for the implementation of the process there are fasteners and screws. Next, you need to put the car in a horizontal position and install a spoiler on it.
Metal structures are difficult to mount. The fact is that the manufacturer, creating holes, completed them only half. Therefore, when working with screws, you need to put a lot of force to continue twisting. If you wish, you can use a drill, because then the complications will not even be felt. But there is one caveat: the screws should not tear the furniture cover, otherwise they will begin to spoil the appearance of the children's bed in the form of a car. If you still want to use the door, then you need to pick up not regular parts, but the options are slightly shorter than the surface.
Finishing touches
Most likely, the difficulty will cause the installation of a sleeping surface. Why is this process so complicated? Because you have to simultaneously hold a heavy and massive plate (the berth itself) and get four bolts into the metal parts of the mechanism. Doing it alone is quite difficult - all reviews confirm this.
It remains only to fasten the wheels and install the mattress. If you buy it in the kit, you can see that it is the same shape as the bed. The rectangular version will look a little ridiculous, spoiling the look.
Summary
All baby cots in the form of a car will impress kids who are interested in cars. The option described in the article, of course, is not a Ferrari, but is ideal for every boy. During assembly, problems do not arise, there are a couple of minor points, but they do not interfere with the quality process. From this machine does not smell like chemicals - only wood. The smell disappears in just two or three days. In such a bed you can not only sleep, but also play.
