Cribs not only allow your child to sleep soundly, but also give them a safe and cozy place to retreat. What beds are better for this than home cribs?!
But what is important when buying home cribs? We show you! In our checklist, we answer your questions about buying the right crib. We have also put together some exciting product recommendations for you.
- A house crib replaces the regular bed. It has a sturdy frame that gives the bed the shape of a house. Your child can use it not only for sleeping, but also as a retreat or for playing.
- There are two common standard sizes.
- A house crib with a mattress of 70 x 140 cm is suitable for smaller children up to 5 years old. For children from elementary school age, a mattress with a size of 90 x 200 cm is recommended. It always depends on the individual growth of your child.
- The permissible weight with which the larger bed can be loaded is usually 140 to 150 kg.
- Some manufacturers offer different intermediate sizes.
- A mattress is not always included in the delivery.
- The slatted frame should have some distance to the floor so that the mattress is well ventilated.
- Some children’s beds offer design freedom. Especially the shape of the house offers your child special possibilities.
- Often the beds are equipped with additional storage space for pillows and blankets.
- A slide and a ladder can be mounted on beds with a high frame.
- A canopy bed fabric or a string of lights can be attached to the roof bars.
- Illustrated assembly instructions make it easy for you to assemble the bed.
- Home cribs are usually made of wood. The paints and varnishes used must be non-toxic. The material should make a high-quality and stable impression.
- Rounded corners and edges are also important.
- A fall-out guard that looks like a fence will keep your child from accidentally rolling out of the bed.
- The grille can be mounted on the left or right side of the bed.
- There should be a small opening so that your child can climb in independently.
- For older children, you can omit the fall-out protection.
- When buying a home crib, look for the GS mark for tested safety.
- Sustainably produced wood is FSC-certified or bears the “Blue Angel” seal of approval.
