Advantages and disadvantages of a round transforming crib

This piece of furniture is a new solution for the interior. Among the obvious advantages, one can identify the multifunctionality of the transformer crib. Manufacturers claim that its use extends up to 7-8 years.

The first option is a round cradle for a baby. It is relatively small in size and will not take up much space, unlike its standard rectangular "colleague". According to psychologists, a newborn feels more comfortable in a small space. Future mothers cannot pass by a round crib!

The baby grows quickly and the cradle for a newborn is replaced by an extended crib with a lowered bottom. Its use also does not cause any complaints - an ordinary crib, only with non-standard parameters. Manufacturers indicate that the baby bed is 120 * 60 in size, but it is worth remembering that only special bedding will fit this model. Together with the bed, bumpers and sets are offered immediately in the set when buying a crib. But it is worth remembering that sometimes the quality of this linen does not match the high price.

When the child can climb up and down the crib, the front wall is removed and the bed turns into a small sofa. This is an obvious advantage of a transformable bed, because almost all standard rectangular beds have a non-removable front bar. In this version, the crib can be used earlier. The sofa is moved to the parent's bed, and it is easy for the mother to control the child at night, to take him without getting out of bed. This option is called an "adjoining crib". This is also an obvious advantage.

After its direct purpose, the crib can be used as a playpen, as well as a table with armchairs/chairs. In the first version, such a metamorphosis is completely useless. At the age when a child needs a playpen, he still needs a crib. To sit the baby down just to play - this function is also available in standard beds. Therefore, we will not classify this option for using a transformer as an advantage. This is an advantage, but not unique. Regarding the table with armchairs, parents' reviews since the appearance of cribs on the market agree that the product is not used in this version. Potentially, the model could be transformed, but such a "set" is not convenient for a child to use.

Having studied the information about popular models of round transformers, we can conclude that Russian brands use birch wood as the main material for the manufacture of this piece of furniture. Foreign companies supply pine products to the market.

Both materials are quite durable, but resistance to deformation and long-term use depends on the method of wood processing. A quality product will serve more than one child. But cheaper analogues are unlikely to please their owners. After all, even with careful use, scuffs or even cracks will appear on low-quality wood.

Before buying a miracle bed, you should pay attention to the furniture coating. The documentation should indicate what kind of varnish was used for painting. You should also personally touch the bars of the bed, its back. If the parts initially seem to be of poor quality, then a miracle will not happen during assembly. You should refuse to buy it.

If you decide to buy a transformable crib, remember that during teething, children often "sharpen" their teeth on the railings. Study the information about special silicone pads that are not included with round cribs.

There are two types of round cribs:

Fully slatted walls;
Two walls are slatted and solid.

In the first model, the height of the backrests does not change. In the second case, it becomes more attractive, because its walls are shortened by half and the crib looks like an ordinary one.

It is possible to add several additional innovations to the simplest configuration of a transforming crib.

An under-bed drawer provides additional space for linen or toys. Such a storage item will save space in linen closets or chests of drawers, and will fill the empty space under the crib.
The teenage version of the bed will allow you to use the piece of furniture for a longer period. Only the question arises about the comfort of a growing child on a bed 120 cm wide.
The pendulum is becoming a popular means of rocking children and making life easier for mothers. The transforming bed is no exception. Manufacturers have managed to insert a pendulum mechanism into a small round cradle. This significantly increases the price of the product, but calms mothers' nerves. Although it is worth remembering - once you accustom your child to rocking, you will not be able to put him to bed any other way!

At the same time, since you have decided to spend money on such a model, it is better to shell out a few thousand more to buy quality furniture from a well-known manufacturer. Otherwise, you can get a cheaper analogue that will not bring you long-term joy and threatens to fall apart after six months of use.
