Baby Cribs Reviews
If you are in the market for a baby crib, there are a lot of things to consider before choosing
the one that is right for you. There are many types of baby cribs available and you will want to make certain you
know what is important to you when making your purchase.
Safety - Compliance with safety is one of the
most important things to consider when buying a crib. You will want to make sure that you have checked out the
latest safety concerns and government regulations available and that the crib you choose is within standards.
Manufacturers are no longer allowed to make drop-side cribs, which were popular for many years; therefore, you will
need to look for a crib that has fixed sides or a drop-gate side. And ensure you assemble the crib per the
manufacturer's instructions for the safest construction.
Construction - You will also want to
consider the overall construction. Check the wood to ensure it is well made and not likely to splinter. If you are
buying a used crib, this is very important. You will also want to make sure that you are purchasing a crib that is
sturdy - a baby and toddler can really give it some challenging use.
Style - Style is also important when considering
the right crib for you. You will want to keep the size of your nursery in mind when making your selection as well.
There are some cribs that are very heavy wood as well as smaller cribs, popular in day care facilities, which meet
standards but are much smaller in overall size. This can be helpful if you have limited space. There are also oval
or round cribs that are typically considered high end but are becoming increasingly popular among consumers.
Type - You will also want to consider whether you
want a crib that converts as the child gets older into a toddler bed and then a full size bed. There are many
choices available in various styles that are convertible and this has become a popular consumer choice. This means
that you may have a larger initial investment but will not have to purchase additional beds in the future for your
child, which is a favorable choice to many.
Cleaning - Ease of cleaning can also be an
important consideration. You could be exposing your crib to unimaginable messes for quite some time so if the wood
is treated to make it easy to clean, you may be happy with such a choice.
Sizing Requirements - You will also need to
consider the size and ensure that it meets sizing requirements. There are government standards for the size the
crib needs to be which you can find on the US Consumer Product Safety Commission website at www.cpsc.gov. Here you can find out about the size requirements and spacing requirements in
order to consider a crib safe.
Mattress - The mattress for your crib will also
need to be a consideration. This is one of the biggest factors that many buyers ponder. There are many types of
mattresses; however, the primary types are foam and spring core mattresses. Though spring mattresses have been
around for a long time, foam mattresses are fast becoming a best seller on the crib mattress market. Spring
mattresses are much heavier than a foam mattress and therefore more difficult to change the crib sheets. However,
in the end they are both good choices and it becomes a personal preference so you will want to check out each type
and decide which you prefer and what fits your budget.
