If, like me, you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary in your new babys’ nursery, round baby cribs may be just what you are looking for. These relatively new style of cribs are manufactured to be hard-wearing and somewhat charming.
Most are beautifully made of solid wood and are as safe as, if not, safer than the standard rectangular cribs that we are all used to seeing in most babies rooms. Obviously, as the crib is rounded, there are no sharp corners or joints to worry about where your baby could hurt themselves
Round baby cribs also offer your baby a clear view of his or her surroundings in every direction. It is also easier for you to see your baby too, as there are no solid panels to obstruct your baby from your view.
As the cribs are round in shape, they also save alot of space over the traditionally shaped crib and are easily positioned anywhere in a room. A new mom could locate the crib in the middle of the room if she is still a little uncomfortable after giving birth or maybe recovering from a Cesarean section, as with a round crib there are no awkward angles or corners that you need to negotiate to reach for your baby
There are a growing number of round baby cribs available that you can add canopies and panel inserts too. It is also possible to buy them with designs that will compliment your planned or existing nursery décor.
The majority of cribs are approximately forty-six inches in diameter and many internet retailers will include the round mattress and some even include the bedding, an item that was quite difficult to locate in the past, but as these cribs become increasingly popular many retailers, either stock or will order this type of bedding for your round crib, online retails usually offer a better service in this department.
Bedding comes in a wide variety of themes, which include, sports themes, star themes, animal themes, princess themes, and nautical themes to name just a few. You are almost certainly sure to find at least one that you will love for your new member to the family.
Many of the cribs have hand painted themes and are beautifully decorated on the outside, which for me, add to the overall charm of this type of crib, and some retailers offer bespoke and personal designs of your choice.
There are a few points you need to take into consideration before you buy any crib for your baby, and these are more to do with the finish than the construction of the crib.
Check that the wood has a non-toxic finish, as some paints, plastic and wood finishes, use a chemical called, formaldehyde, in the manufacturing process, which some regard as toxic, especially for a new born baby. For the same reason it is also a good idea to make the same checks for the crib mattress.
Another obvious check, and something that I frequently forget to include, when looking for your crib is, not just the cost of the crib but also the shipping costs. Some retailers offer free shipping, for example others don’t, but have very cheap prices with high shipping prices, so always check out the shipping policy and don’t forget to check the all important returns policy, it could save you from a real headache if anything were to go wrong with your order or delivery.
