1) Do you need drop sides? Most baby cribs are equipped with single or double-drop side features. This means, either one side or both may be collapsed so you can take your baby in and out of the crib with greater ease. Baby cribs have different kinds of drop sides. There are those that may be collapsed using a knee push, which is the most common in the market, while others may be adjusted using a foot bar or a two-handed double-trigger, which requires more effort on your part. There also are baby crib sides that may be folded down. Baby cribs with fixed sides are good for parents who are relatively tall and can reach in and out without much hassle or if the crib will not be used often. Double drop sides can also be good as long as you make sure you're monitoring your child's movements while they're down. 2) Does the crib fulfill safety standards? Stores do not release baby cribs that fail to meet the government's standards of safety. So as long as the crib is declared safe to use, you don't really have to buy an expensive one (Well, unless you're particular about design and brand). When choosing baby cribs, take note of the following: - they should have tight-fitting and firm mattresses - there should be no broken or missing slats and cutouts anywhere - the slat gaps should not exceed 2.38 inches (should not be wider than a soda can) - the sides and post should be well padded, or have provisions to place padding 3) Do you want a baby crib that converts to bigger bed? For the prudent parents, baby cribs that may be converted into bigger beds for future use is important. There are baby cribs that can be turned into toddler or full-size adult beds, depending on what you're looking for. Convertible baby cribs can be quite expensive, though. Ask around about the costs and see if you can afford to squeeze this detail into your budget. 4) What is the proper crib mattress support and height? Almost all the baby cribs available have adjustable mattresses so you can lay your baby down with ease. Two to three mattress heights are ideal. Cribs that use metal bars or metal spring systems to adjust the height are also your best choices. Vinyl straps are cheaper but they break easily. 5) Where can you buy good quality low-cost baby cribs? Not all baby cribs will break your bank. As long as the crib meets safety standards and your baby's comfort standards, it should be alright. Major retailers and large furniture warehouses usually carry discount baby cribs in stock. The Internet is also a good tool for finding what you need. However, be careful with used cribs. Make sure you know the crib's history and manufacturing details before you make that purchase. Remember, your child's comfort and safety are your top priorities. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
