This phase is so important in a parent's life, and requires a great deal of research before you can find what you need. Through this blog post, we'll try to guide you in refining your search and better orient you in preparing baby's room and finding the right bed for him.
A cot with bars
The crib with bars remains the most popular model for baby's safe sleep from the very first months. You should therefore opt for a healthy model made from natural materials to ensure a good sleeping environment for your little one.
We advise parents to opt for a solid wood crib for long-term use, as solid wood is more durable and offers a guarantee of quality furniture.
Another important aspect to consider when choosing a cot is that it should be adjustable on several levels, making it easier for you to keep up with your child's growth while ensuring his safety thanks to the slats. The slatted base can be adjusted to suit your needs, allowing the crib to last longer.
Sizes and dimensions
The most common crib sizes are 60x120 cm and 70x140 cm.
These standard sizes make it easy to choose the right mattress and bed linen. There are no age-specific sizes: it's up to you to decide what's best for your baby's bedroom.
You can opt for a single 60x120 cm slatted bed if you're thinking of upgrading your child to a 80x160 cm or 90x190 cm junior bed as soon as he or she becomes independent and can get out of bed on his or her own.or a 70x140 cm evolving bed with removable bars, if you want your child to spend the first few months of his or her autonomy in this bed, before moving on to a full-size bed.
How long you keep the same cot or upgrade to a junior cot depends on your needs, but also on your child's needs.on the other hand, if your child is more comfortable in a cot, give him the time he needs to make the change.
Other criteria to consider
Once you've gone through the essentials, here are a few other points to consider when choosing a crib:
- Choose a crib that meets today's safety criteria, for added reassurance: a crib with the NF EN 716-1 baby standard and certified materials.
- Avoid beds painted or varnished with chemical substances, as this will limit the risk of the paint peeling off and becoming dangerous if baby puts it in his mouth. There's no better way to maintain a healthy bedroom environment than with natural finishes.
- Opt for fixed, safe feet to avoid accidents.
- When assembling the crib, make sure the bed base is securely in place and doesn't move around, so baby can sleep comfortably.
- For babies under 18 months, equip the crib only with a mattress and undersheet. No blankets, bumper pads, stuffed toys or cuddly toys should be put on the crib, as they could be dangerous for baby's sleep (risk of suffocation). The ideal item for baby to sleep safely in a cot from birth is a sleeping bag.
