In the first year of his life, a child spends most of his time in a crib. That is why the design should be as comfortable as possible for both the baby and the parents from the point of view of operation. An excellent combination of practicality and comfort – transformer beds. That is why such models are phenomenally popular among consumers from all over the world. Let’s consider the main characteristics of the products and the criteria for their selection.
Design features of transformer beds
Depending on the configuration of the transformer crib, it may include:
- cradle;
- high chair and table for feeding;
- changing table;
- a chest of drawers or a sideboard;
Some transforming models can, if necessary, turn into a full-fledged bed for a child who has already grown up.
Transformer beds are convenient because they combine several pieces of furniture (from 2 to 8). Such a decision allows you to significantly save both space and money for arranging a children’s room.
The main criteria for choosing a transformer bed.
When choosing a transforming crib for a baby, first of all, you need to consider the convenience and safety of the design. Such requirements include a whole list of properties that a baby crib must meet.
Bed options
The standardized dimensions of a children’s bed are 120×60 cm. The main difference between transformers is that some models are able to turn into a cradle, while many analogues can be unfolded as the baby grows. Such a sleeping place is suitable for children under the age of 7-10, depending on the individual characteristics of the child’s development.
It is recommended to choose a standard bed so that there are no problems with finding suitable bed linen and mattress.
Manufacturing materials
Children’s furniture can be made from:
- wood – a material that differs in strength, environmental friendliness and durability of operation;
- laminated chipboard – the most available material, which also has high operational characteristics (the disadvantage of chipboard is the difficulty of assembling furniture from it, as well as considerable weight);
- metal – an expensive and heavy material that is rarely used for the manufacture of children’s furniture.
Before buying a baby transformer bed, you should pay attention to the quality of the material: there should be no splinters, chips and scratches. The strong smell of varnish and paint products from furniture indicates the use of low-quality raw materials, so it is better to avoid cheap products. Also, the choice of a transforming bed depends on the individual requirements of young parents for functionality, the size of the room in which there will be a sleeping place, as well as the ease of transforming the structure into a playpen, a bed for a teenager or a desk. In this case, you will provide yourself and the baby with maximum comfort during rest and sleep.
