Baby cot: What parents need to consider when buying

The baby bed is the central piece of furniture in the children's room - even if it is still in the parents' bedroom during the first months. The choice of the cot should be carefully considered, after all, the child should feel comfortable and slumber comfortably in its bed for several years. The older the child gets, the more time it spends in the nursery - for playing, sleeping and as a personal retreat. If you want to furnish the children's room in a uniform way, you can rely on the matching sets of bed, wardrobe and chests of drawers from Geuther.

The selection of children's beds is very large. For the initial furnishings, the choice usually falls on a cot, because even the very youngest children are safe here. Many parents attach importance to height-adjustable cots so that they can grow with the baby during the first months and years of life. With these beds, the base on which the mattress rests can be adjusted to different heights. In most cases, some of the side bars can also be removed. These so-called slipping bars enable the child to climb into or out of bed independently from a certain age without climbing. With some cots, it is also possible to replace the bars with normal side panels and thus convert them into a completely normal cot.

Baby in the parents' bedroom - with cot or bassinet

A baby cot with castors has the advantage that it can be easily moved from one room to another. This means that the baby's sleeping place can easily be varied between the nursery or the parents' bedroom - just as required. Cots with castors can also be used as bassinets. This way, the baby sleeps in its usual place during the day as well.

Many parents look for an extra bed from the outset so that the child can sleep close by at night, but still in its own cot. These extra beds are available in different heights - suitable for box spring beds or normal beds, for example. They are usually surrounded by bars on three sides so that parents can easily reach over during the night. However, there are also models that have a grille all around.

Geuther safety through quality

Especially in the children's room and especially in the bed, parents pay attention to the quality and safety of all materials. After all, the child should not be exposed to harmful substances, especially when sleeping. That's why all the varnishes, foils and fabrics used in Geuther furniture are saliva- and sweat-proof, free of harmful substances and meet the highest health requirements.
