Top 5 Baby Furniture Must Haves
By JB Anthony
Here are the absolute top five furniture pieces that you should have in your nursery.
Crib
Whether you’re planning to co-sleep with your baby at night, you would still need to have a sturdy and safe baby crib. The crib is the only piece of furniture on which you may safely leave your baby unattended for a short period of time.
Cribs these days have been made based on government guidelines on product safety. Keep your ears and eyes peeled for online news on recent product recalls.
Portable Crib/ Playpen
Baby Playpen
Having a nursery crib is one thing, while having a portable crib or a portable playpen is another. Portables like these would come in handy for parents who would like to enjoy family trips and picnics with their babies.
Similar to nursery cribs, any standard portable cribs are also made with safety features in mind. Do remember though that like standard cribs, portables may also be recalled if they have features that may still be improved on. Some parents also use portable cribs as their main nursery crib.
Cabinet/ Changing Table
A new occupant in the house like your new baby would also require new storage space for clothes, diapers and other miscellaneous items. A sturdy cabinet with back brackets would be a good piece of furniture to store baby items in. To save you some cash, you should consider buying a baby cabinet that can double as a changing table. This way, you only have to buy one piece of furniture that can perform two functions. A good design would be a piece with a changing table on top and open shelves or drawers below to hold baby items. The top storage compartment could hold diapers and other changing articles to make baby changing an easier chore.
High Chair
As soon as your baby finds out that he can sit and move around while feeding, things can begin to get really messy. You don’t want to forever keep chasing after your baby. This is why you need a good high chair for baby meal time. Pick one with a wide sturdy base to prevent tipping accidents.
Toy Box
Teaching your child how to pick his toys up after playing should start as soon as he knows where to find his toys or as soon as he can pick them up. Pick a toy box that doesn’t have a heavy lid. It should also ideally have a lock in place spring to prevent the lid from falling on your child. Other safe designs include the open storage piece that is easy for your baby to use.
