Crib Checklist

Checklist For Children’s Beds

Mattress and Slatted Frame
  • Choose the mattress according to your child’s body weight and size. The heavier the child, the softer the mattress should be.
  • Special reversible mattresses with a baby side and a toddler side can be used longer.
  • Make sure that the bed has a slatted frame instead of a wooden board. This will prevent mold from forming in the mattress.
Safety
  • If your child is still very young, choose a crib that protects the toddler from falling out. It is important that the bars are about 6-7 cm apart – otherwise your child could get his head caught between the bars.
  • On some bed models, the bars can be removed on one side so that your child can climb in and out of the bed on his own as soon as he is old enough.
Material
  • Choose a sturdy material so that the crib can withstand jumping and romping without any problems. Beds made of solid wood are usually sturdier.
  • Make sure that no harmful paints are used in the bed, there are no sharp edges and no loose screws or small parts are installed – there is a risk of swallowing.
  • Quality seals such as the “blue angel” help you to find a bed made of sustainable and harmless materials.
Size
  • Make sure the bed is the right size: it should be large enough for your child to lie comfortably in two years from now, but not too large so that he or she doesn’t feel lost. There should be at least 10 cm of space at the head end and at the feet.
  • Babies and toddlers usually sleep on a mattress that is 60×120 cm. From the age of 4 years, a mattress with a length of 140 cm is suitable. If your child attends elementary school, it’s time for a standard 90×200 cm mattress.
  • Size-adjustable children’s beds are practical. Your child can use them from toddler age until the end of elementary school.
