Tips for choosing the best baby travel cot
Having a baby at home does not have to mean stopping traveling. Although it is true that traveling with the baby involves transporting many things you need, it is also true that this does not have to involve great efforts. Travel cots They make it much easier family outings when we have a baby, we tell you what you should keep in mind to choose the best.
Choosing our baby's crib very well is very important because there you will spend the important hours of sleep. For this reason, for example, it is advised that when they are very young they are in minicuna and, on the other hand, when buying a travel cot It is necessary to take into account certain factors (in addition to the price) to avoid lament once we get home with the purchase.
Keys before buying the travel cot
1. Removable or foldable? As usual, the travel cots They are either foldable or removable. The folding is somewhat more comfortable as you do not need to travel with tools to reassemble the crib, and today come with some very simple folding systems. Still, value this according to your convenience, needs and, above all, the space in your trunk.
2. Height. Search one travel cot that has several heights to be able to take advantage of it during more time. When your child is very baby, raise the mattress to have it close, but go down as it becomes larger to prevent it from falling. In addition, many families use travel cots as 'miniparques' (with the base of the crib at the bottom), a very interesting option to save: you will have two pieces of furniture in one. Remember this trick before buying a little park!
3.Wheels. The different models of travel cots that exist have different number of wheels. It is very advisable to carry wheels in the case to transport the cradle more easily and, as regards the cradle itself, having two on the legs of the ends: this will make it easier to move but you will not lose stability.
4.Funda. It is also recommended that you look for a travel cot that has a cover. Keep in mind that in the trips the cradle can be damaged, especially when you put the rest of the luggage on top, so it is best to have it well protected so that it lasts longer.
5. Measures. Look carefully at the crib measures because this is another important point: check that the mattress has standard measurements or, at least, equal to those of your daily crib (whether convertible or conventional): this will be the same sheets that to the cradle of every day and you will not have to double spend.
6. Mattress As happened in the traditional cribs, the mattress is something very important to consider. Normally the travel cribs incorporate a more finite mattress that can be folded to facilitate transport. However, if the baby goes to sleep often in the crib is not advisable. It is better that you get a thicker and firmer mattress, and also folding, so that the baby sleep comfortably and rests well.
Of course, to all this we add the security measures: check that the crib is approved, and you better have at least two of its grille walls so you can control your baby while he sleeps or plays in the crib. Enjoy the trip!
