subject: Child Safety Considerions When Buying a New Crib [print this page] I know you've been thinking about how well your baby will sleep at night. I'm pretty sure you only want to buy a crib once and have it last for years to come. Do not settle for a cheap particle board crib with a bunch of plastic parts that is going to fall apart on you as soon as your child starts trying to climb out of the crib. A convertible crib designed to be used as a crib, a toddler bed, daybed and a full bed may be an appropriate solution for you. That's why this crib is known to g row with your child in order to take care of all of your child's sleeping needs, from baby to toddler and beyond. Quality built cribs can become a treasured family heirloom filled with wonderful memories. Convertible Crib Conveniences Besides being an all-in-one sleep system, a convertible crib can offer many extra features not found in a traditional baby crib, like a 4-level mattress spring system making it easy to adjust the heighth of the mattress as your baby gets older. Safety is the most important factor of all Of course you want an elegant, stylish and classy, but the safety of the crib is the most important factor of all. Look for a crib that meets or exceeds all U.S. safety standards. I do not recommend a crib with any moving parts, such as those with a sliding rail system. It sounds conventient, but is a huge saccrifice as far as safety is concerned. Not only does having a crib with no moving parts make for a safer environment for your child, it also adds to the longevity of the crib. You may want to think about an ex-friendly manufacturer that uses only wood harvested from sustainable forest lands and is free of toxic chemials in their finish. Looks and functionality, safety and an eco-friendly approach to manufacture would make the perfect crib. The cost of your crib really shouldn't be one of your primary concerns, but there are many cribs that are still reasonably priced that meet all of these requirements. I can guarantee you will never have to buy another bed for your child if you use all the tips I offered above. Spending a little bit more now will certainly save you alot of money in the long run.
