A baby appeared in the family. The event is exciting and at the same time creating a number of problems, one of which is the choice of a cradle. You can, of course, go the traditional way and buy a stroller first, then a playpen and a rectangular cot familiar to everyone. But do not forget: time does not stand still, and what yesterday seemed impossible yet today has become a reality. This also applies to an oval or round crib. According to reviews, it is able to replace several furniture items, so necessary in the nursery.
Features of the transformer crib
This thing is really worthwhile. After all, parents immediately receive a cradle (there are models equipped with a pendulum for motion sickness), a changing table, a bed with a curbstone or drawers for things and toys, a playpen, a table with chairs, and a sofa ... For example, the round bed is highly praised in reviews Forest, easily transforming into 6 or more items. The main thing is to immediately pay attention to several points.
- The crib should be made of environmentally friendly materials.
- On the bottom, it is desirable to have special holes that allow the mattress to “breathe”.
- The sides are no less important: they will relieve parents from the fear that the baby will stick a leg or handle between the side grilles, which is not always safe.
- The detachable side panel (about its use a little later) and silicone lining (they are loved to “chew on” by kids whose teeth are cut) will not hurt.
- The wheels allowing the crib to be moved must be fixed. This will become especially true at the moment when the baby will actively move.
These are the basic requirements for how a round transforming bed should be arranged. You only need to realize how and how long it is supposed to be used, and then go shopping.
Functionality in the first 3-4 months
At first it’s convenient to design a round crib. The reviews emphasize that this way the baby will have a feeling that he is still in the womb. The limited space will create a warm, cozy atmosphere around it. And the size of the crib-crib will make it possible to additionally use, for example, a cocoon for newborns.
It is advisable to arrange a berth at this stage at the upper level - it will be easy for mom to put the baby, especially the sleeping one, in the crib. The removable front wall contributes to this: removed, laid the crumbs and set it in place.
If necessary, a round bed - this is especially noted in the reviews - can be easily turned into a convenient changing table.
The kid has become active - it's time to change shape
When the cradle size becomes small for the child, it is turned from a round crib - according to reviews, it is very simple to do this - into an oval one. Now the baby will be able to sleep and stay awake in it absolutely freely. But that is not all. By 3-4 years, it will be possible to remove the front wall and lower the bed to one level. Then the baby, waking up, will be able to get out of the crib on his own. And also to arrange a playpen in it, lowering the bottom to the lowest level.
Further more. They removed the berth altogether - and the grown-up child can comfortably sit on a stool. And from the bottom you get a table at which you can have lunch and draw.
Useful in 5 and 7 years
Finally, the moment came when the baby turned into a kindergarten graduate or student. But the main furniture in his room is still the same, which was once round, the bed. In the reviews, the parents suggest that now you can easily assemble an oval sofa, a pair of comfortable armchairs or, again, a table with chairs from it. The latter will now be needed as never before.
Thus, the story of the transformer bed really deserves the attention of young parents. And do not be afraid of their seemingly initially high cost of this multifunctional piece of furniture. If the quality of the crib is really worth it, then it will pay off handsomely. And in 2-3 years the question will not arise before parents again: “Where to put your child to bed?”
