One of the most important acquisitions when a new member appears in the family is the first cot. Here the crumbs of the first year of life spend most of the time. In the crib you can not only sleep, but also play fun with outboard mobile phones, eat a mixture prepared by mom. That is why the cot should not only be comfortable, but absolutely safe and quality.
The size of a cot is also worthy of note. It should not only accommodate the baby, but also harmoniously fit into the interior of his room. What are the sizes of baby cots, which one is right for your particular case? Let's understand.
Choice option
A few decades ago, there could be no question about the size of the baby cot, because this furniture was manufactured according to a single standard. If, for one reason or another, the standard size of a crib for young parents was not suitable, then the only possible solution to this problem was an individual order from a familiar master. And this resulted in additional costs. Today, the sizes of baby cots for newborns and toddlers are so varied that there will be no difficulties with choosing a suitable model.
However, the standard in terms of the size of the crib still exists. So, in Russia it is equal 120х60 centimeters (the sizes of a sleeping bed are specified). If we take into account the thickness of the lamellas, then the dimensions of the standard crib are increased to 128x68 centimeters. In such beds it will be comfortable for both newborns and four-year-olds.
If we talk about European standards, the dimensions of the beds are increased by 5 centimeters (125x65 centimeters). At the same time, the age range remains unchanged. Today, German, Italian and Greek companies are the leaders in the production of baby cots on the domestic market.
If you do not want to change the baby's bed several times until he grows into a teenage bed, you should buy a model with dimensions of 140x70 centimeters. Due to the size and the possibility of turning into a sofa, these crib-transformers can be used until the age of seven. Transformers with dimensions of 170x60 centimeters are also produced. But in these models there is a built-in chest of drawers for keeping things baby. Above, you can install a changing table , and when the need for these superstructures disappears, the sleeping place will increase due to the vacant space. Despite such impressive dimensions, ordinary small cribs and separate chests of drawers with bedside tables take up much more space than a single transformer bed .
