Types of cots for crib

Before deciding on what type to sew up the bumpers for the baby bed, you need to understand the basic indicators for each type of these products and tailoring features.

Sew the sides in the bed for a newborn is not difficult.

1. Bumpers with removable covers.

Consist of pillows with covers of natural matter. Covers wear type pillowcases and fasten with zippers. The advantage is that it is possible to sew two sets of external covers and wash only them. However, this kind of aspect is suspicious, since the kid can contaminate both pillowcases and pads.

For this reason, the sides will not be able to be dry and clean for a long time, they will also have to be washed.

For sewing, you will need additional cotton fabric and 4 zippers, at least 42 cm long, which will lead to additional costs. Replaceable covers are sewn a couple of centimeters more pads so that they can be comfortably worn. The need to use zippers and zippers is alarming, as they have small details that the kid can swallow.

Therefore, lightning is better to make secret, invisible to the child.

2. Side pads.

Convenient because it is possible to use more filler. In cases with small pillows, the size of 40 - 50 cm, the thickness of the sides may be increased. Thus, the bed will be the most warm and comfortable.

Ready-made pads are simply fixed on the bars with the support of strings or adhesive tape.

3. High bumpers.

Cover the wood rods at the crib entirely. They are pretty good protect the baby from drafts and protects against shock.But the kid has to limit himself to just the view of the inside of his bed, which can affect his level of mental development.

The disadvantage is that they completely cover the review of the child.

If you want to make a bumper with pockets, then an essential condition will be their presence on the outside of the bed. Internal placement will always entice your baby.

He will try to extract and examine the contents.

6. Rollers.

They are made and fixed in the same way as pads. This option is used much less frequently, since it badly protects the head of the child from shocks and falls. But under conditions of high temperature in the room where the baby is located, this type of skirting allows fresh cool air to enter.

Therefore, this option is well suited for newborn babies who still do not know how to move or crawl on their own.

Protections made with fasteners in the form of strings, locks, or velcro are capable of tearing at the moment when the child tends to rise and pulls the edge.

For this reason, the view with ordinary clasps is more reliable.
