Round baby cribs offer beautiful woodwork and very rich finishes and you will love the look of them in your baby’s nursery. Whether you are looking for a trendy nursery, a stylish nursery, or a traditional nursery; you will find the perfect crib to fit your needs. Three advantages to round baby cribs are:
Space Saver
These cribs are a real space saver so if the room you will be using for baby’s nursery is small, they will fit perfectly. You can easily tuck one of these cribs into a corner which will leave a lot of space for a changing table, a rocker, and a dresser (or two). If you have a larger room for the nursery, your round baby crib can take center stage and really stand out by adding a canopy or a hand painted design. And you will have even more room for other needed furniture plus a toy box or even a bookshelf for the baby’s new books. A large room will actually enhance the uniqueness of the crib.
Safety
Many parents feel that round baby cribs are actually safer than the traditional rectangular cribs. This is due to the fact that your baby is in sight at all times. There are no tall headboards or footboards obstructing the baby from your view. Also, there are no sharp corners that your baby can hurt themselves on since round baby cribs come with rounded edges. No matter what type of baby crib you buy, safely will always be a key issue. Other considerations are to make sure that the width between crib slats is no more than 2-3/8 inches, that dropsides, when lowered, are at least nine inches above the mattress support (twenty-six inches when raised), that there is no more than two fingers of width between the crib side and the mattress, and that there is no peeling paint on the crib.
Comfort
Round baby cribs are no more or less comfortable for baby as long as you buy a good mattress, but these types of cribs can be more comfortable for a new mother. When you go to reach for your baby, it is very easy to pick them up from any angle. Once baby starts moving around in the crib (and gaining weight) they sometimes are situated at an angle that makes mom have to stretch to get a solid hold on baby. This will never be a problem with round baby cribs. Another feature is that these cribs are on wheels so it will be so easy for you to move the crib to any area of the room. Make certain the crib you choose has locking wheels.
Since round baby cribs are becoming more and more popular, you will be surprised at how beautiful they are designed and that most of them have matching bedding. There are designs from airplanes, to butterflies, to trains, to polka dots in chocolate brown and blue or pink. Online retailers have a wonderful array of these cribs and bedding that is sure to please everyone!
