As parents who have just received a newborn baby, purchasing a suitable crib is crucial. Before making a choice, we will carefully consider the following key factors to ensure that our baby is provided with a comfortable, safe, and adaptable sleep environment for growth.
1. Safety is the primary consideration
The safety of infants is always the primary concern. We will look for cribs that meet international safety standards to ensure that they do not contain harmful substances, such as toxic coatings or materials. At the same time, the structure of the bed must be stable to prevent the baby from crawling out or the bed parts from loosening. The railing of the bed must be designed so that the baby's head or body will not get stuck.
2. Adjustable height
We will look for a crib that can adjust the height of the bed. Newborn babies require a high bed bottom, which allows us to easily lift them up and down without having to bend too much. As the baby grows, we can gradually lower the height of the bed to prevent the baby from crawling out or falling.
3. Easy cleaning
Diaper leakage and vomiting are inevitable situations during the growth of infants. Therefore, we will choose baby cribs, mattress covers, and bed sheets that are easy to clean. Some mattress covers are even waterproof, which can help protect the mattress from leakage.
4. Easy access
Undoubtedly, newborn babies require frequent feeding and diaper changing. Therefore, we will choose a bed design that allows us to easily remove the baby without having to wake up or bend too much. Sliding side cribs or beds with additional functions, such as changing tables, can provide additional convenience.
5. Consider the growth of the baby
We will choose a bed that can be converted as the baby grows, commonly referred to as the 'growth bed'. These beds have adjustable bed rails that can turn into children's beds when the baby grows up. This way, we don't have to frequently change beds, saving costs.
6. Supporting furniture
Finally, we will consider whether the bed matches other baby furniture. For example, is there a corresponding baby changing table or baby cabinet in the crib to facilitate the overall layout and storage of baby items.
In short, as parents of newborn babies, we will pay attention to factors such as safety, convenience, adaptability to growth, and ease of cleaning when choosing a crib. Our primary task is to ensure that babies receive good sleep in a comfortable and safe environment.
