The Advantages of a Convertible Baby Crib
Posted by Babies - 05/07/09 at 11:07 amWhy pay for a toddler bed and a crib if you can enjoy both when you own a DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib? DaVinci’s beautiful crib is the latest marvel in the collection of excellent baby cribs from DaVinci, a leader in convertible baby cribs. Like the other cribs from this company, the DaVinci Kalini convertible baby crib can be changed from a standard crib to a toddler bed.
Every child needs to remain in a crib until he or she reaches nearly 2 years old. At that age, you should try to switch that baby to a bed. Some parents worry that standard beds are up too high for such little children so they elect to switch babies from cribs to toddler beds. Toddler beds are closer to the ground and use railings to prevent children from falling out. The DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib quickly converts to a toddler bed once a baby is the correct size to leave the crib.
While your baby is very small, you ought to have the mattress in the DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib up to the top level. This ensures the child is protected by the sides of the crib but is also easy to reach. Many new mothers take advantage of the baby crib as a place to change the baby, which the crib will accommodate when the mattress is properly adjusted, so that you can reach in.
The DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib enables you to reach in and care for your baby, without being required to reach down and pull up. There are no movable parts in the crib so it is unexpectedly easy to set up. Virtually anyone can assemble this crib in less than half an hour. Once assembled, it is easy to use. You can set the mattress for a few practical heights that are needed after baby gets more mobile.
Even though you want to adjust the mattress higher when your baby is a newborn, you should lower the mattress once your baby grows larger and starts scooting around that little crib. Just before a baby will sit up without your help, you should reposition the mattress to the lowest rung in the crib. Older babies routinely attempt to stand themselves up in their cribs so that they may see their mothers. You obviously want to keep the mattress low so your little one can safely stand without being able to get out of the crib and to the floor.
As a child starts showing you that he is making an effort to actively escape from the crib, your baby is too old to sleep in a crib and should be moved into a bed. At this point, you might not prefer to have him in a bed, so you could change the DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib into a toddler bed for him. As the child gets older and outgrows his toddler bed, you can change the DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib into a daybed or a twin bed.
