How to choose a crib for a newborn?
On the one hand, the most important purchase for a child's bedroom is the mattress, as it is the item that will come into contact with the baby, and its orthopedic properties will help to develop correct posture.
But how do you choose a crib that the mattress will lie in? Here's what's important to consider when choosing:
Decide where the bed will be placed; based on this, determine the desired dimensions of the product.
Decide on the type of crib (cradle, classic, transformer, playpen) and the material it should be made of (solid wood, MDF, particleboard, or metal).
Decide on the desired functionality of the chosen product:
Whether the level of the bottom can be adjusted (important if the crib will be attached to the parent's bed).
Whether the side wall can be removed.
Whether there are rockers for swinging (and the ability to fix them in a stationary position).
Whether there are wheels (and wheel locks).
Whether there is a drawer in the under-bed space.
