More recently, parents could fit their baby across his cradle. But time flies quickly, and now he sleeps cramped even along his bed. It's time to buy a new bed that will allow the baby to grow further. Many parents are interested in how to choose a bed for a child so that it will only benefit him.
Material selection
A bed for a child 3 years old and above must be made of durable and environmentally friendly material. These can be the following types of wood: ash, oak, hornbeam, birch, beech. Usually the tree is varnished, which reliably prevents the appearance of splinters in the child. If children's furniture is covered with paint or made of bright plastic, you need to ask the sellers in more detail about the material in order to eliminate toxicity.
It is practical to buy a multi-year bed. A pull-out bed is ideal for this. And to save on space, parents with many children buy bunk beds.
Benefit
The choice of a children's mattress is equally important. In size, it should fit flawlessly in the bed. Mattresses are also available in a variety of materials. It is important that they are breathable and quite tough. There are orthopedic mattresses that prevent the curvature of the spine in a child. The padding on the mattress must be hypoallergenic. It can be made from natural fillers. For example, from buckwheat husks, coconut flakes, seaweed. These materials have a beneficial effect on the child's sleep and provide a gentle massage. In children's mattresses, synthetic materials such as polyurethane foam and spunbon can be used, which are non-toxic.
Safety
Young children often fall asleep. Therefore, before buying a bed for a 3-year-old child, it is necessary to foresee special bumpers on it in advance, which will help prevent falling out. For the safety of the baby, it is better that the fences are solid, and not from separate crossbars. This will prevent your baby's body parts from getting stuck. In addition, you need to choose a crib so that its bottom is closer to the floor, so that it is convenient for the child to climb into it on his own. Ideally, the bed will be free of sharp corners to avoid unnecessary injuries.
In regions where mosquitoes fly into the premises, it is important to purchase a four-poster bed. In addition, such furniture looks very cozy and beautiful in the interior.
Convenience
Many parents want to buy furniture that combines 2 functions. For example, a wardrobe with a bed. It is very rational when toys or underwear are placed at the bottom of the crib. You can also buy a chair bed, sofa bed. It is advisable, when other children come to visit the child, to sit them on the sofa, which in the evening turns into a bed without any problems.
the beauty

When safety, convenience, usefulness and environmental friendliness of the material of the baby's bed are taken into account, you can think about design. Here you can take into account the gender of the child. For boys, beds are made in the form of cars, steamers, etc. At the same time, cribs are made for girls, like castles for little princesses. It is possible to purchase a bed by carefully choosing it to match the environment of the interior of the children's room.
