Cozy Crib Alternatives

January 22, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Da Vinci, Safety 1st, baby cribs, nursery furniture

For something that most view as essential for every baby, an ordinary crib can sometimes resemble a small prison. Luckily, for those who do not like the traditional crib design, there are several alternatives to make your baby’s sleep environment more aesthetically pleasing as well as more comfortable.

Unlike ordinary cribs that are often large and clumsy, a bassinet provides a more compact sleep space that can be moved more easily from room to room. The bassinet can also be converted into a changing table. When shopping for a bassinet, it is important to make sure to choose a design that is not too soft, as this may cause suffocation. The average bassinet is also affordable at an average price of $100.

The bedside sleeper is another cozy alternative to the standard crib. As an advantage over the standard crib, the bedside sleeper fits against the side of the bed at the same height as the standard adult mattress. It can be completely joined with your bed so that you and your baby can be closer. Like the bassinet, the bedside sleeper is also an affordable alternative with an average price of $100-$200.

As yet another alternative to the standard crib, many parents prefer the nostalgic, old-fashioned appeal of the cradle. Your baby will enjoy the rhythmic movement of a cradle such as the Da Vinci Futura Cradle $49.99.

As you can see, there are many other possibilities to the boring, standard crib. Taking into account the necessary safety precautions, the bassinet, bedside sleeper, and cradle can all provide more appealing and comfortable alternatives to the standard crib. Your baby will be much more comfortable and at home in the compact spaces provided for by bassinets, bedside sleepers, and cradles than he or she will be in a large, airy, clumsy crib.

Hi, I can’t help not to give my opinion. I’m sharing this based on my personal experience I hope this can help you with your decision. We bought our crib at its from da vinci’s crib collection we choose this one because its sturdy its made of pine wood its life span can last up to our baby’s toddler years, the crib also has a static drop side and an adjustable 4 level mattress spring system. In all this is a practical crib for parents who are starting or on a budget.
