If you are given a used crib by a relative, or if you decide to buy a used crib from  eBay, make sure the crib has not been recalled for safety issues. You can do this by going to the Consumer Product Safety Commission website.
Tip #2: Choose the Right Size

If you intend to use the convertible crib after your child outgrows his or her toddler bed, you will want to make sure the crib will convert to the right sized bed with the optional side rails. Some cribs will convert to twin-sized beds, while others convert to full-sized.

Many children bedrooms will not have room for a full-sized bed, plus a dresser, a desk, and other furniture needed by older children. For this reason, you should look beyond the style and make sure you will be able to use the crib as long as possible

Tip #3: Choose the Right Price

Convertible cribs are sold in a very wide range of prices, from under $200 to well over $1,000. Any new crib will conform to modern safety standards, but different brands may be sturdier than others, and may have finishes that will last longer. These things are not always easy to see in a brand new piece of furniture, but may become more evident as you use the crib over time. The price itself is not always the best indicator of value, consider the value for your money.

Bassinet or Crib: Which is Better?


baby bedroom furniture


A baby is a very precious gift.  You want your baby to be well-cared for in those first few months of their life.  They need to feel close to their mommy and daddy.  All children need that warmth and nourishment to start on their journey in life.

 

If you’re not sure to start out using a crib or bassinet, here are a few tips to get you started:

 

Bassinets

A bassinet is a piece of furniture that often baby sleeps in from birth until approximately four months of age.  It is small enough that an infant might actually think they are still in their mommy’s tummy.  A mother might often wrap up her baby to feel closer to his/her mommy.  A bassinet could be kept next to mommy’s bed so that when baby needs to eat she is right there and will not have to get up and rush to the next room to attend to baby.  There are many advantages to using a bassinet.

 

Cribs

A crib is usually set up in a separate room but can often be put in the parents’ bedroom.  Some cribs can often be converted into a toddler bed as the child grows out of the crib.  A toddler bed is often used when the baby gets a little bigger.  He/she might be around four months of age when they transition into a crib.  Mommy might elect to use a crib and just have a baby monitor beside her bed so that she can hear when baby cries.  A baby might not feel as close and snuggly as he/she would in a bassinet.  Remember, baby has just been born and they need to feel as if he/she is close to their mother.

 

I hope you have found this to be helpful when it comes time for you to make your decision on a bassinet versus a crib.
