The evolution of the baby crib over time

It used to be that the baby’s crib used to be confined to the nursery and used to be of a few main types. Now, however, with more sensitive parenting techniques, co-sleeping is becoming more popular and cribs and infant beds are beginning to show greater variety and better incorporation of safety features. And Amish baby furniture, particularly baby cribs, have kept up with this evolving requirement, as well as necessary safety features.

Whether the family is of the opinion that a child should have their own separate room or they feel co-sleeping is a better option, a baby’s crib should be attractive, affordable and, above all, safe. If it is going to be a part of the parent’s bedroom, the crib should ideally match the Amish bedroom furniture found in the room.

Just because a baby crib can be a sizeable investment, it makes sense to invest in something that will last a child for many years, without the child outgrowing it, or the item falling apart from constant or rough use. This is where Amish baby furniture such as Amish convertible cribs come in.

This is versatile and comfortable furniture that will expand and change as your child grows and their requirements change, even to the point where they are ready to leave home. While for the first few years you need a toddler bed that protects your child from falls and also prevents him from going out on his own and wandering, later on these requirements will change.

When a child becomes a toddler and is able to climb out of his crib, it can be dangerous not to move him to a toddler bed because there is an apprehension that the child will get hurt when he tries to get out. Also, as a child is potty trained, he should be able to get out of bed on his own to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

However, with a convertible bed, the need to get another bed for the toddler is avoided: the same crib that was being used for the toddler will easily and effectively convert to a toddler bed.

Convertible cribs also come equipped with the hardware that allows them to be converted into a full-size bed. This will continue to do its job as a toddler bed as the child grows into a tween, teen, and fully grown individual!

On the other hand, if one wants, a convertible crib can easily be transformed into a day bed which can be a very useful addition to any child’s room.

Safety features are also taken care of, so there is no chance of a child’s head getting stuck between the slats, or a limb getting caught so baby can rest easy and so can parents.
