Children’s cot from 2 years old: with bumpers, drawers, how to choose which one is needed
The moment comes when the baby grows out of its first crib. Parents begin to think about buying a new crib by age. Stores offer a wide range of cots. How to make the right choice and what you need to pay attention to.
How to choose a crib for a child from 2 years old
In order to choose the right sleeping place for a child, it is necessary to take into account his wishes and the dimensions of the child’s room.
A crib from 2 years old must be with bumpers
Considering that the child will sleep on it for a long time, the choice of this piece of furniture must be taken seriously:
- Bunk. A great option to save space. Well suited for families with two children. The youngest child can be laid on the lower bed, while the older one will find it more interesting to sleep upstairs.
- Thematic. A bed in the form of a car, bus, carriage, house. You can choose any type of bed design you like, at the request of the child.
- Loft bed. It is well suited for small spaces. If the sleeping place is located at the top, then under it you can arrange a play area or a table for a student.
- Roll-out. It consists of two beds, the lower of which slides out from under the upper for sleeping. And after sleep it moves back. With the help of this design, space in the room is saved.
For apartments with a small area, bunk or roll-out beds are suitable. And parents who want to make a special nursery for a child will love themed beds.
Bed with bumpers and drawers
Whichever version of the bed the parents prefer for their child, it must be equipped with sides. Children at this age sleep very soundly and restlessly. The sides will protect you from falling to the floor while you sleep. You can buy a bed with removable sides. And when the child grows up and decides that he does not need to be insured against falling during sleep, the boards can be removed.
Drawers are a very functional part of the bed. They save space in the closet and in the room. They can be used to store laundry or toys. If the design of the bed allows, then it is better to place them at the bottom under the bed.
What is the length and width of the bed for a comfortable sleep of the child
For the child to sleep comfortably, this piece of furniture should be 20-30 cm longer than the child’s height. And the width is from 70 to 90 cm, depending on the build and age of its owner. At 2 years old, a baby is enough 70 cm wide, and at 15 years old – 90 cm.
A standard bed can be found in the store. And if the customer needs special dimensions or original design, such furniture will be made to order. And the price of exclusive furniture will be slightly higher.
