Bortics in cots

A cot for a baby is not just a household item. This is a place where he spends quite a lot of time. From the first days to six months the child literally lives in it, since he sleeps for a long time, and in those short moments of wakefulness he does not really want to leave the cozy place, because there is always something to do, for example, to watch a moving bright mobile phone.

As the growth of children’s beds with bumpers from a simple comfortable sleeping place converted into a safe corner for active pastime. Mums do not have to worry that the kids, in attempts to sit, get up or get a toy that attracts them, will drop out of their nest. It is not difficult to draw a conclusion that this furniture accessory should be chosen with special care and scrupulousness. Let’s understand the intricacies of the process.

Children’s beds with bows: to whom what, and from what

Modern models of baby cots are pleased with the variety of design, both in color and design, so the questions do not arise in selecting them for a particular interior, namely in quality and functionality.

Designs for newborns

This class includes several types of baby cots:

1. The cradle.

2. Classic bed.

3. Manege.

4. A bed of rocking.

The practicality of the cradle has been tested not by one generation of moms and dads. The cradle has a rocking mechanism. Smoothly moving cradle gently lulls the baby, and he falls asleep in complete comfort. Cradles are light (they simply move) and easy to use (you do not have to sit and rock the crib with your foot or your arm). Bortics, at cradles, are not particularly high, but for the estimated period of operation such protection will be quite enough.

Classic cribs are among the most popular. In modern execution, they can be multi-functional and practical. They are designed for long years of service. Have an adjustable bottom.

Offered in a stationary and mobile version. For ease of movement they are equipped with wheels.

Of the functional additions, parents liked the built-in chests of drawers, changing tables and removable sides.

The playpen is also a comfortable bed. They have adjustable bottom and soft mesh edges. The configuration often includes structural additions in the form of cradles and surfaces for swaddling.

The design of the rocking-bed is noteworthy for the presence of a pendulum mechanism or special runners, allowing the child to be rocked without too much effort. More information about the choice of baby cots-rocking paddles will help the photo.

Types of skirts for the little ones

“Baby beds can initially come complete with safety battens and mattresses”

In the set of “dowry” for just about to appear on this light baby necessarily includes a crib. Going to buy it, mummies look, most often, on the aesthetic design of products. They like the unusual design of furniture, the presence of canopies and accessories for attaching toys, color. Dads – check the reliability of assembly, ease of operation. The most scrupulous require documents confirming the environmental friendliness of the product. All this is correct, but the list should be added such an item as security. No, not environmental, which has already been verified, but real. It can be argued that any child’s bed has special edges that do not allow the child to fall out of it. Yes, it really is, but apart from falling out, a child can hit hard sticks, fall asleep legs or knobs in their grill. What to do?

In the infant cradle, in addition to the mandatory rigid, stipulated by the design feature of the rims, there must certainly be additional soft versions of them, called bumpers or security guards. In appearance they are very much like a peculiar, rectangular shape, mats. Inside such mattresses is laid a soft filler. The sides of this type are designed for fastening around the perimeter of the crib. Their task is to hide the rigid handrails along with the handrails.

Using an optional accessory will protect the child from injury while sleeping. But this is not the only task of the soft shell. In addition to protection from impact, textile skirts will not allow you to walk in drafts in drafts.

Baby beds can initially come complete with safety battens and mattresses. If in the vending model there is no security, then you can always buy it separately. Rudders can easily sew such a set of bumpers on their own. For the production of soft edges, only hypoallergenic natural fabrics are used.

Mainly:

1. Velor.

2. The bike.

3. Flannel.

4. Chintz.

To fix the secret police in the crib will help:

1. Velcro.

2. Decorative ties.

3. Buttons.

Here, the form of fastening is not important, the main thing is that it should be reliable. Curiosity of children knows no boundaries, therefore, as soon as a child grows up, it will certainly try all methods of removing “extra” parts from its cradle. In addition, it is necessary to check that the fixing elements are adequately located and allow the protective mats to be firmly fixed to the backs of the crib. Otherwise, the child spinning during sleep will easily move them aside and may hit hard ribs of the main rails.

Modern manufacturers often supplement the secret police with additional pockets. This is very practical. They are convenient to store important in the care of the child accessories. This includes pampers and removable diapers, rattles and powder.

All this is fine, but until a certain moment. As soon as the baby learns to stand in a crib, he can easily get to the contents of stylish storage, which at best will end up with scattered things. Therefore, before you buy soft sides with pockets, think about whether they are appropriate in your situation. Perhaps these details will only hinder you.

In this case, it makes sense to look at other options in which the removable sides are endowed with the function of not the storage system, but the development of the baby. You can find examples of baby beds with developing borders in the photo gallery. What can be attributed to the category of developing guardians? For example, products with a print of multicolored geometric figures or images of animals. Well, if the images will still have different sizes. Studying them, you can open for the child such concepts as: large and small, round and square, learn the color spectrum. There are soft sides, the pillows of which are equipped with sound effects and a series of soft toys, attached to them on ordinary Velcro. Such additions will help develop small motor skills of children’s pens.

Having decided to stop your choice on developing security for children’s beds with high sides, do not seek to acquire them in flashy-bright colors. Color cacophony will prevent a child from falling asleep. The best option will be products in quiet pastel colors.

Disadvantages of soft edges

“The disadvantage of children’s beds with closed soft sides is the absence of unhindered inflow of fresh air in them”

Strange sounds, but such a useful and seemingly practical accessory, there are some drawbacks. Perhaps they are not so significant, but it is necessary to know about them. The main disadvantage of the fabric edge is its texture. Material willfully collect dust. The problem, in principle, is easily solved, since the secret police – an element removable and wash it once again does not work. In this aspect, the question of the filler of the component parts becomes urgent. The product must dry quickly.

The second disadvantage of baby beds with closed soft edges is the lack of unobstructed inflow of fresh air into them. You can solve the problem by putting on security only for the period of sleep of the baby. In this case, at the moments of wakefulness the child will have the opportunity to also get acquainted with the surrounding environment of the room, and also monitor the movement of the mother.

Cots for preschoolers and school children

The optimal construction of a bed for preschool children and pupils in an elementary school should have the following complete set:

1. A rigid, level base (possibly made of racks or chipboard).

2. Limit curtains.

3. Moderately rigid, ideally – orthopedic type mattress.

Sleeping places for children of such an age category may well be a component of the furniture corner and be located on the second tier. Their design can also differ in variety. They will cause delight, if not decorated in a standard form, but in marine, natural, space subjects.

Why in the design of beds for sufficiently conscious children protective skirts? For the same trivial reason – for security reasons. Children like and became older, nevertheless, to control themselves in a dream have not yet learned. Secure them from falling is your direct duty. Naturally, given the age of the child, you do not hang his bed with soft pads, even in a removable version. He will resist this actively, motivating the rejection of the once beloved secret police by the fact that he is quite an adult. And he will be right. Bends here are nothing. More organically, as a matter of course, will be perceived a child’s bed with already mounted bumpers. Excellent, if such limiters are mobile, that is, they can be lowered, raised or even removed.

The front edge may not be integral and need not necessarily extend over the entire length of the sleeper. Often it is made only by half, a third or two-thirds of the length of the base. This is done so that the child has the opportunity to get into bed without hindrance.

Bed models for teenage children

The bed of a teenager is a special conversation. It should not just be convenient, but have an original design. Products are characterized by laconic forms and colors. The combination of the latter rarely has more than two shades. But on this “adulthood” ends. The remaining technical requirements for teenage beds remain the same as for models for preschoolers.

The bed is most loved by teenagers “attic”. It is something like children’s corners. The place of rest here is also located in the second tier. A writing desk and a mini-wardrobe may well be placed beneath it. From the same series of bunk beds for children with sideboards photos of the most popular options, which are so often flashed on the Internet. They are irreplaceable in families where two children are growing up. Above, usually older children prefer to be arranged, but who can guarantee that tomorrow the desire to sleep at the top does not arise for the baby? Here, then, the curtain-limiters will be the saving element that will allow parents to sleep peacefully even in this case.

When choosing a bed of such structures, see that the protective parts are made of a single leaf and have a sufficient height so that the sleeping child can not easily overtake them. If the rim has a lattice look or looks like a railing, then do not take items in which the distance between the partitions is too wide. In such “holes” can drop a child’s handle or leg. What else is important to check, examining the options for children’s beds with ledges, so this is the quality of the fastening of the latter. They must be very securely fixed and not unsteady.

The presence of rims in the bed of a child of an older age should not bother you. After all, you can find such options, where this part of the design will be removable. Once the kid learns to control his movements in a dream, the protective parts can be simply removed. This does not apply to the beds of the upper tier. Here the skirts do not hurt even an adult.

Expensive and beautiful does not mean good

The quality of the crib is not only in the comfort of the mattress and environmental friendliness. Its criteria: strength and stability. As soon as the child grows up, he immediately ceases to just lie quietly in it. The cot will quickly turn into a place of fun games, transformed into a trampoline and a mini-treadmill. A test of the strength of children’s liveliness is not all products. And what are high-quality children’s beds with bumpers made of today?

Materials

For the production of cots use:

1. Natural wood.

2. Particleboard.

3. Furniture metal profile.

4. Plastic.

5. MDF.

The tree, with its natural origin and high wear resistance, is an ideal option for consumables for the production of children’s furniture, so the products from it are presented in the widest range.

To find interesting offers of wooden cots with sideboards will help the photo. If you want to buy a good baby cot at a reasonable price, look for models from coniferous species. But keep in mind that this type of wood is soft, so dents and scratches may appear on the surface of the product, leaving children’s toys, for example. Such problems will not be for products made of beech, walnut, alder, cherry, birch, ash, maple. When considering wooden children’s beds, pay attention to the method of finishing the surface. If it was varnished, then it is worth to clarify what composition. Excellent, if used paint on a water basis.

Durable and safe in all respects will be a cot of plywood. The times when unprepossessing things were made of it, have sunk into the summer, today plywood furniture has rather bizarre shapes and designs.

Particleboard in the production of cribs is not a very desirable material, as it often releases toxins. Nevertheless, in the economy class they are presented quite widely. If you have chosen a product of this quality, make sure that it is made from EAF category E1. The structural elements of the crib must be additionally “sealed”, that is, covered with a laminate or veneer and on the edge treated with the same veneer, film material or plastic.

Beds made of MDF are better. They are distinguished by their durability and perfectly preserve their appearance for years.

Plastic cribs are light, durable, but not very resistant, therefore, in this capacity, they often produce cradles designed for the peace of the newborn. Products of this type must necessarily have a certificate that guarantees their complete safety.

Incredibly beautiful, durable and comfortable wicker cots. They are made of bamboo, rattan and various vines. Products are also equipped with bumps, one of which is left mobile. Such a crib can serve a kid more than one year.

Conclusion

Cots with bows – a pledge of the peace of the parents and to get it to the fullest, you can only choose a model appropriate to the age, and perhaps even the needs of your children. Good luck!
