The birth of a child is always a happy event, which is accompanied by the purchase of various things, including furniture. A crib is one of the first items that are acquired immediately after the birth of the baby. Many parents mean the following details: high sides, wooden walls and an adjustable bottom. But an alternative version of the standard children's bed was invented - multifunctional playpens. They appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, so many do not know what it is and what they are intended for. Let's figure out how the playpens differ from standard furniture, as well as what function they perform.
About features
Everyone knows well what function an ordinary wooden children's bed performs - it ensures a healthy sleep. Playpens are more versatile in application. Unlike ordinary options, they can serve not only as a sleep center, but also as a place for games. It will be interesting for the child to be in the arena. In addition, the design of such products is much easier, and this furniture can be easily placed in the country, where your baby will always be safe thanks to this bed. Light weight and compact dimensions provide easy transportation of this furniture in any passenger car. With her, you will always be sure that your child will not fall and not get hurt about something in the summer cottage.
Construction and material
In addition to light weight and compactness, playpens are also a convenient transformer, thanks to which an ordinary bed becomes a playpen in seconds. And when the child wants to sleep, with a flick of the wrist she turns back into bed. These products are made from materials such as mesh and natural fabric. A reliable plastic frame that can withstand any baby's jumps is taken as the basis. Their design is more safety than that of wooden counterparts. This is achieved by installing grids instead of a solid wood grate. Thus, even if the baby accidentally hits the wall of the arena, he will never fill himself with a bruise. Bed-playpens are very easy to disassemble and quickly wash, which is convenient for parents.
Mobility
One of the main advantages of this furniture over others is its mobility. Almost all manufacturers equip it with small wheels, thanks to which you can move the bed from one place to another without much effort. Also, many models are additionally equipped with various covers and pockets for toys and other children's accessories.
Manufacturer
To date, in stores there are many beds from various manufacturers. Among them are the Chicco playpen and Graco Contour. They are very mobile and functional in their design. These manufacturers produce many types and modifications of beds, including the corner playpen, a bed with a changing table and a zipper, as well as an inflatable type. The cost varies from 70 to 190 US dollars.
The Graco Contour playpen includes the following items:
