Convertible Cribs and Other Baby Essentials for the Nursery
Convertible Cribs
These cribs can be converted into toddler beds with the help of easy-to-use conversion kits. Some convertible cribs can even be repurposed into headboards or footboards. As they will be used in the nursery for some years, choose cribs that are crafted from solid wood with mortise and tenon joints. This sturdy construction ensures that the crib can be converted into a hardy bed later on.
If you decide to change the color palette of the nursery later on, convertible cribs can be easily repainted or stained to coordinate with the room. Look for home decor videos online on how to transform the crib into a bed and watch a couple of helpful videos before starting the repurposing project.
Changing Table cum Dresser
Besides cribs, baby essentials like changing table are important part of the nursery decor. As you will be changing the baby frequently, especially in the first year, a sturdy changing table is a practical addition to the nursery. These baby essentials come in different styles and are equipped with safety features to make your nursery a secure place. Opt for a changing table-cum-dresser so just like the crib, the table can also be a part of your child's room later on.
These nursery tables are basically dressers with built-in changing stations on top. You can comfortably change the baby on the padded surface and have diapers and wipes within easy reach in the tip drawers. The changing station top can be removed when your child doesn't need it anymore and you can transform the changing table into a dresser for the kids' room.
Safety
When you are choosing any furniture for the nursery, safety is your major concern. Choose cribs that are made according to the latest safety norms prescribed by the law. The mattress for the crib should be firm so it is safe and provides support to baby's head and back. It's also a good idea to check the nuts and bolts of the furniture regularly to make sure they are secure.
Set up a playful and secure environment for your child with these ideas.
