How to assemble a crib with a pendulum: instructions and assembly diagrams

With the arrival of a small child in the family, a new life begins, full of joy and pleasant troubles. The baby needs not only love and care, but also the creation of favorable conditions for full development. Healthy sleep is of great importance for the baby, so after purchasing the appropriate furniture, a logical question arises - how to assemble a children's bed, doing it correctly, taking into account the specifics of its design. Of course, the easiest way is to turn to the help of professionals, but not all families have access to this service. And sometimes such an opportunity is simply brushed aside by a man, because self-assembly is direct proof that “dad can do anything.” Despite the laboriousness of the process, the task is quite feasible; the main thing is to follow the sequence of steps laid down in the instructions.

Features of a crib with a pendulum

Modern models of cribs for newborns are produced with an additional mechanism - a pendulum.
The main feature of these models is their special oscillatory movements, which are very similar to rocking a baby in the arms of its parents. The pendulum mechanism starts independently at the slightest movements of the baby. This function helps the baby calm down and fall asleep faster. The main condition that must be met when installing a crib for newborns with a pendulum is not to install the crib with its moving sides close to the wall and do not forget to install the latches.

Which bed is better to choose for a child: metal or wood?

The main rule that a parent follows when choosing a crib for their child is convenience. It should be comfortable for the baby to sleep in, for mom to put him to bed or get up to the crib at night, and for dad to be easy to assemble, disassemble, and, if necessary, repair. The next choice is aesthetics; the crib should please the eye. Paying attention to these factors, let's try to figure out which crib is better, metal or wood.

Assembly and design

In their design, wooden and metal cribs are no different. You will find any model you like in both wooden and metal versions. The question of how to assemble a metal crib, or how to assemble a wooden one yourself, also, as a rule, is not worth it - manufacturers are worried about making the design of the bed as simple as possible, and detailed instructions are included with each modern model. But it is worth considering that the installation of each model has its own characteristics.

Cribs with a pendulum are divided into two types - with a transverse pendulum and with a longitudinal one. Designs with a longitudinal pendulum are reminiscent of motion sickness in a baby stroller - the bed moves back and forth on runners. This is a big plus, since the child gets used to the same amplitude when rocking and, as a result, falls asleep faster. The disadvantages of such beds include their price, which is slightly higher than that of beds with a transverse pendulum, and also the fact that the installation of such beds requires additional space - 7-10 cm. Beds with a transverse pendulum perform pulsating swings from side to side when using a special device.

There are also cradles with a universal pendulum - you can choose the rocking function yourself, depending on what your baby likes best.

Another important feature of modern cribs is the ability to adjust the bottom of the crib to the height you need. Higher if the baby has just been born, and lower if he is already several months old and you are afraid that he may fall out at night.

Additional amenities

Sometimes in stores you can see metal cribs for newborns with a cradle. The reason for this is that metal cribs tend to be slightly larger in size. In addition, such designs as transformable beds, which can be disassembled and serve as a bed for a child up to 10 years old, are popular among them. Therefore, such designs often come with a cradle, in which you can place the baby while he is very small, so that he does not experience discomfort on a bed that is too large for him.

Another additional device that mothers could not even dream of before is a wardrobe that is built directly into the crib structure. It is convenient to store all your essentials, such as diapers, diapers, baby toys or a bottle. In wooden cribs, such a box is usually located either at the bottom of the structure, between the floor and the bottom, or on the side. Side cabinets are more convenient, but they block access to the child. In this sense, lower cabinets are more practical and take up less space, but they are inconvenient to bend over. Metal cribs with a wardrobe usually mean that the drawer is located below the mattress. It is beautifully decorated and does not spoil the appearance of the crib.

And speaking of amenities, we must talk about the canopy. This is an irreplaceable thing, regardless of what material you buy the crib from. Its main advantage is that it is suitable for both summer and winter seasons. In summer, it prevents insects from disturbing your baby's sleep, and in winter, it will protect him from cold and drafts.

Material

Speaking about the material, it is impossible to say unequivocally which is better - a wooden or metal crib, but you can describe in detail and weigh all the pros and cons.

Wood is considered a more traditional choice for both cribs and bedroom furniture in general. It is aesthetically pleasing, has a wide choice of colors, and the color of the wooden products itself is richer and deeper. In addition, it is pleasant to the touch, and many parents believe that wooden products have a special energy that is transferred to the child. Some even specifically select the wood from which the crib is made, based on the Druid horoscope of their child.

But this does not mean that you need to give up on metal cribs. Firstly, they are more practical to use - they are easier to clean, easy to disassemble and assemble, and transport. If you are in the habit of moving to a house outside the city for the summer, a metal crib is better suited for these purposes. In addition, the metal is stronger. If your child happens to be a fidgety child who likes to jump on the mattress or shake his crib, a metal structure is more likely to withstand all of this. Well, it should be noted that modern metal cribs are very beautifully designed; they can decorate any interior.

Types of pendulums

Pendulum mechanisms differ from each other in their swing trajectory.

There are several types of pendulum:

Longitudinal. Creates oscillations of the sleeping place back and forth.
Transverse. Rocks the crib left and right.
Universal. Perform longitudinal and transverse movements.

Depending on the model, the amplitude of the berth's vibrations ranges from 5 to 15 cm. To prevent the crib from constantly swinging, the pendulum mechanism is equipped with a blocker.

Review of the pendulum swing mechanism of a baby crib

A house-shaped bed is a preschooler's dream. You can do it in just half a day

Step 1. Making the walls of the house

We took four wooden blocks, each 1200 mm long. They will act as supports, the vertical structure of our bed.

To make the gable roof beautiful, you need to saw off the top edge of each of the supports at an angle of 45 degrees. First we marked the cutting line using a square and a pencil.

Step 2. Making the roof

For the roof, take four wooden blocks 730 mm long and repeat the same procedure: the outer edge of each block must be cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

Advice:

Go through all cuts immediately with sandpaper.

We glue the joint between the roof and the vertical support and additionally secure it with a 4.5x30 mm self-tapping screw. Screw in the self-tapping screw, departing 3 mm from the joint line of the two wooden roof parts. Screw in smoothly, without pressure, so that the wood does not delaminate.

Advice:

Use a vice to hold the structure in place while you drill. Use good drill bits and try not to drill too fast.

When you screw the two roof slats to the two supports, you should end up with a house frame like the one in the photo above. The children's bed in the shape of a house is gradually taking shape.

General recommendations for assembling a crib with a pendulum

Preparatory work

It is best to assemble a crib for a newborn in the room where it will be located. This way, you won't have to move it from room to room.
Remove the original packaging.
Place large parts of the bed to one side, small parts to the other.
Place small parts on a light-colored fabric or in a tray.
Prepare the necessary tools.
Before assembling, be sure to read the instructions, familiarize yourself with the diagram and watch the video on assembling the bed.
Check the completeness of parts and accessories according to specifications.
Before assembling, wipe the varnished coverings of the crib with a dry, soft cloth. To remove transport dust and give the bed its final appearance, flannel, cloth, and plush are suitable.
Do not neglect the preparatory stage, as these actions make the work easier and speed up the assembly process.

Preparatory work

The design of children's beds varies. For example, pendulum-type options are somewhat different than transformer models, rocking chairs or furniture with hinges. The process of assembling purchased goods occurs in 2 stages. It includes the preparation of components and installation of elements.

In order to assemble the bed in comfortable conditions and with high quality, you need to do the following:

remove unnecessary children's items;
move excess furniture, thereby freeing up space that is important for ease of installation.

Carry out assembly in the place where the bed will be located later. In this case, you will not need to drag it to another room after finishing work.

It is important to carefully check all metal and wooden components included in the kit. Their number must correspond to the information indicated in the instructions. If you find a missing item, you must immediately call the store.

It is also worth making sure that there are no flaws in the wooden surface. To do this, all pieces of furniture are carefully checked for integrity. If chips or old cracks are found, the product must be returned, since the damage threatens the safety of the baby.

Then you should sort all the parts. Walls, side parts and other elements must be assembled below on the floor into separate groups, taking into account shape and size. If there is no bed assembly diagram, then you need to find it in available sources of information. Following the assembly algorithm will help to avoid problems, especially for those people who are faced with such work for the first time.

Any rules described in the instructions for assembling a children's bed must be strictly followed. Each specific model has its own characteristics.

Solid wood bunk bed. Detailed drawings.

The question of buying a bunk bed arises in families with two or more children and a small living space. It will significantly save room space and thereby leave more space for children to play. And it’s not at all necessary to run to the store to buy something. It can be done by any craftsman with a minimal set of tools.

What models of bunk beds are there?

Traditional model

The design is quite simple. It is made entirely of solid wood, which is important for a children's room. Such a bed must be stable, as it will serve not only as a sleeping place, but also as a playground for children's games. To increase stability, it is recommended to attach it to the wall.

Drawings and step-by-step manufacturing will be discussed below.

The design can be improved by adding drawers to it. You can store children's toys or, for example, bed linen in them.

Bed with three berths

It has three sleeping places and is quite stable due to its widely spaced legs. The space in the room will take up exactly the same amount as a regular double bed or a fold-out sofa.

Bed with a pull-out fourth bed.

It is an improved version of a bunk bed with three sleeping places.

The height will be like a two-tier one, and the functionality will be like a three-tier one. It has four sleeping places and will be more difficult to make than a traditional one, but it is worth it. This bed takes up a little more space than a traditional one, but it has a convenient staircase to the second tier and children will be provided with their own lockers for storing things or toys.

Bed with table and separate work space.

They are also called loft beds. It is convenient because it has dual functionality. There is a sleeping area on top, and a spacious workspace with a table and cabinets below. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate bed, desk and cabinets. It significantly saves space in our apartments. Its disadvantage is that it has only one sleeping place. As a rule, they are made of plywood and chipboard.

A loft bed can be significantly improved by adding another pull-out bed. This way you get two sleeping places and plus a workspace area. True, there is a significant drawback here too. It is impossible to use the table until you roll out the lower berth.

Drawings of a classic bunk bed

This option is the simplest and is suitable for both children and adults. Inside the bed measures 2005 x 705mm. This size is necessary to fit a standard mattress with dimensions of 200x70cm.

Below is the simplest design, which is made without grooves and various cuts. It can be made by almost any craftsman with a minimal set of tools.

The boards can be secured using wood screws. You can use yellow galvanized screws or hex head screws. Hex screws are also called “capercaillie”. Screws will be needed in two sizes - diameter 6mm, length 110 and 160 mm. Do not use black wood screws. They are fragile and do not hold shear loads well.

If hex head screws are used, then to hide the hex head, you will need to drill holes in the boards with a feather drill according to the picture below. An oversized flat washer must be placed under such a screw. This washer has an outer diameter of 18mm and an inner diameter of 6.5mm. Taking into account the washer, the hole should be 20mm.

Instructions for assembling a wooden crib without a box with a transverse pendulum

How to assemble a crib with a transverse pendulum:

Insert barrel nuts into the rocker.
Secure the rocker with a screw to the bottom of the back of the crib.
Attach the bed-lattice to the headboards of the bed. A screw and washer are used for fastening. Do not tighten the screw too much with a wrench.

Specification of crib parts

First stage of assembly

Install a fixed fence between the backrests and secure with screws.
Tighten all screws.

Second stage of assembly Third stage of assembly

All screws are tightened only after the fixed guard has been installed.

Assemble the base without a drawer: insert 3 connecting bars between the right-left frame.
Fix the pendulum bars to the frames.

Transformer

The transformer option is suitable for children of different ages: from a one-year-old baby to a seven-year-old schoolchild.

The assembly process consists of several sequential stages:

The first to assemble is the frame, which includes the back and lower sides . Afterwards, the base of the slats is installed;
bottom is fixed to the lower base of slats ;
Next, you need to assemble, depending on the configuration, a chest of drawers or a cabinet. Fixation occurs using screws to the rear side of the structure;
Grilles or limiters are mounted on the sides, headboard, and upper bottom;
Having completely assembled the upper part, you can begin installing the lower part. It is also attached using screws .

The choice of a crib should be taken seriously. The market offers a huge range of different types and price categories. Before purchasing, it is advisable to study the available options and compare them with your requirements and financial capabilities.

Materials and tools you will need to create a bed

Materials

Now go to the nearest building materials store (taking a tape measure with you) and purchase the following lumber:

4 boards 2.5×20×240 cm (pine) for making a frame;
3 boards 5×10m240 cm (pine) for making support beams;
3 boards 2.5×5×240 (pine) for decorative finishing;
1 block 10×10×240 cm (fir or pine) for making legs;
19 boards 2.5×7.5×240 cm (pine) for making a slatted bottom.

If you go to large stores that sell building materials, you will notice that they have different qualities of wood for sale. Choose straight boards with a minimum number of knots (the more knots, the more time and effort you will have to spend on sanding). Of course, high-quality lumber is more expensive, and in this case you will have to look for that “golden mean”.

For example, I purchased high-quality materials for the manufacture of the frame and decorative trim; I took second-grade wood for the legs, but I bought the cheapest slats for the grille that I could find.

Tools

Tools Needed: (Don't be alarmed by this list! Your investment will pay off very quickly and then save you thousands upon thousands...):

Rules for using the crib

Make sure the crib meets certification requirements.
Remember that the manufacturer is not responsible for defects that arise when the buyer does not comply with the rules for using a child’s bed. Such defects include mechanical damage (breaks, chips, etc.).
Operation of the crib is permitted in dry, ventilated areas at a temperature of 10-28C and a relative air humidity of 50-70%.
Large fluctuations in temperature and humidity, dampness and close proximity of heat sources cause accelerated aging of the paintwork, warping and deformation of the wood.
All parts must be secure and the screws must not be loose to avoid injury.

Assembling the frame

Let's start with a 40x95 mm board. Let's cut it for the legs. We should get 2 elements 910 mm long and 2 410 mm long.

Blanks for legs

From a 45x20 mm board we will make the perimeter of the bed and a couple of blanks for the headboard. Since the factory cut of the workpieces is not very even, I will trim the workpieces manually with a Japanese saw. The peculiarity of this saw is the presence of very small teeth and their “multi-directionality”. This saw gives a beautiful thin cut.

I trim blanks with a Japanese saw

The following frame parts: 200 cm and 165 cm. We made them from boards with a section of 145x20 mm.

Blanks for the frame

We will also prepare the parts on which the slatted bottom of the bed will rest, an element for supporting the slats and a stand. The stand will be attached to the support in the center of the bed. It is needed for greater reliability.

1. Two sidewalls on which the slatted bottom will rest; 2. a beam in the middle that will take on part of the load

All ends and rough surfaces should be sanded. We will also soften the edges of the details. Using self-tapping screws, we attach the slats to the longitudinal walls of the frame, on which the slatted bottom will rest.

I attach supports for the slatted bottom

To fix the legs to the bed, I used corners that would provide rigidity in the diagonal direction, and in some places I fastened the parts with an oblique screw.

We assemble the structure using corners and fastening with an oblique screw.

I highly recommend buying a jig for fastening “on an oblique screw”. You will need it more than once

The legs of the bed protrude 1 cm above the frame. We make the appropriate markings and attach the parts to the base of the frame. We connect all the parts of the bed frame. I assemble the parts at the headboard using an oblique screw and a corner, at the foot - only with an oblique screw.

Assembling the frame

The frame is ready

I'm trying on the slatted bottom. 6 hours have passed since the start of work

The bed frame was coated with teak oil on site. I brushed the boards for the headboard to emphasize the active wood grain. I use nylon brushes for this. As a result, we obtain a surface ready to be coated with a decorative composition.

I didn’t start dusting the apartment. Brushing boards for headboards outdoors

I connect two boards to each other “with an oblique screw” and fix them on the frame.

Connecting the headboard and legs of the bed

Cover the finished frame with oil.

We determine the overall dimensions and draw up a drawing

The starting point is the crib mattress, or rather its dimensions. Spare no expense and buy your baby a high-quality mattress with a “complex filling” made of coconut fiber with layers of latex. The usual size of a children's mattress is 1200 x 600 mm. You will find out what other children's mattresses there are from the table below.

Spring mattress

Springless mattress

Latex and coconut fiber mattress

Cotton wool mattress

Foam mattress

Polyurethane foam mattress

The dimensions of the mattress are fundamental to determining the size of the crib. The height of the bed from the floor should be such that an older baby can climb into the crib on his own. It is recommended to make it equal to 350 mm.

The distance between the lattice and the solid wall of the crib is 12 mm, and between the rods - no more than 9 mm. Such indicators guarantee the safety of the baby. Based on these points, you can prepare a schematic drawing, which will make it much easier to work with.

Parents' reviews are the best indicator of quality

If you have any doubts about which crib model to prefer, you can ask friends or acquaintances for advice. There are also many reviews on the Internet from young parents who describe their impressions of such a purchase.

Here are some reviews to help you:

Elena, 28 years old, Krasnodar : “I’m very pleased with the SKV 7 children’s bed with changing table.” It takes up very little space and is inexpensive. There is no need to buy a chest of drawers separately, because it is already included in the kit. Very convenient for me and the child. All the necessary little things for changing diapers and a changing table are always at hand.”
Alena, 32 years old, Rostov-on-Don : “This transforming crib was very useful for me with my second daughter. When she grew up a little, she decided to sleep alone. We easily extended the structure. Everyone is happy and they saved money on buying new furniture.”
Natalya, 30 years old, Moscow : “I thought for a long time whether it was worth buying a transforming bed with a changing chest. I decided to take a risk and was right. It is very comfortable. Diapers, powders, a change of underwear - everything is always at hand. There is no need to leave the child to run for a forgotten item. I'm completely satisfied."

For a newborn baby, a small changing table is enough

Main types of baby cradles

A special cradle for the baby is placed in a suspended state so that it can be easily rocked.

Classic woven version made of 100% cotton and wicker twigs

This design can be of several types:

The classic version of the cradle is usually made of natural wood using weaving techniques. Also, such a cradle can be decorated with forged elements. Two cross arches securely hold the cradle, but at the same time do not interfere with rocking.
Swing cradle. This product really resembles an ordinary swing, because the sleeping place for the baby is fixed on two supports.
Automatic cradle. To rock your baby comfortably, you don’t need to make any effort; just press one button. Additionally, such designs can have various accessories - lighting, musical accompaniment, the ability to change the tempo and direction of rocking of the cradle.
Round crib swing. Mobile and compact. The best assistant for a young mother.

Each mother will be able to find the most suitable option that will match the interior of the room, taste preferences and financial capabilities.

We also recommend that you find out which diapers are best for newborns.

Elegant swing cradle

What to look for when choosing

There are a few important points to consider before purchasing:

To choose a truly high-quality and safe cradle, you need to carefully study the mechanism of the product

Pay special attention to the reliability and strength of the main fastenings, because the safety of the newborn will depend on them. All fasteners must be made of metal, but in no case plastic or wood. The cradle is designed to quickly rock a small child

This product usually has standard sizes. However, if you want your baby to be comfortable while resting, choose a product with the maximum width of the cradle. Then the child will be able to easily roll over during sleep. Additional functionality. Some products can be equipped with a basket for small items, a folding changing table and other additions. When buying a cradle, you must take into account one rule - the more additional accessories the product contains, the higher its cost. The material from which the cradle is made must be natural and environmentally friendly. This product will retain its attractive appearance for a long time and will not cause allegra in a newborn.

When choosing a wooden suspended structure, ensure the increased reliability of the fastenings

The most useful accessories

Anyone can purchase a ready-made cradle with a full set of all kinds of accessories. However, some young parents want to save money and buy only a cradle, without any additions.

In this case, you will need to purchase the necessary accessories separately:

A baby's cradle mattress is the most important accessory. The baby's comfortable sleep depends on its quality. Choose a product of the appropriate size; to do this, you need to measure the cradle in advance. Experts recommend giving preference to mattresses made from coconut coir. Bed linen made from natural material – cotton is best. It should also be the right size. A special cover for the cradle creates a comfortable atmosphere for the newborn and protects from bright light. The lock prevents the cradle from swinging too much. Rubberized wheels for support are necessary for silent movement of the cradle around the apartment

It is these parts that most often break, so it is recommended to pay special attention to the quality of the material from which they are made.

A felt crib is suitable for winter as it retains heat well

Possible mistakes

Some dads try to save on everything and make mistakes when designing or building a crib, which will affect their children in the future. Here is a list of the most common mistakes that should not be made:

Use old building materials. This applies to both wood and fasteners. Old wood may contain mold, mildew and other dangerous microflora. A small child will quickly catch the infection, and parents will wonder what happened to him.
Do not treat wooden surfaces. There is an opinion that clean wood is much more environmentally friendly and safer. This is only partly true. The child can easily chew the board when his first teeth appear. At the same time, he can injure the oral cavity with broken wood chips or shavings. Don’t be lazy and save on wood processing, otherwise you’ll have to treat your child for a long time.
Do not make calculations and drawings without experience in this field. Construction in a hurry is only permissible for experienced master carpenters with extensive experience. One miscalculation can ruin the entire project!

Below you can see photos of cribs and cradles for babies:

Varieties

All beds with a pendulum allow you to rock your baby directly in the cradle. However, they are divided into different types and are longitudinal, transverse and universal. You can choose the right model by determining your needs and familiarizing yourself with each type in detail.

1) Longitudinal pendulum. Its main advantage is a good imitation of the natural rocking of a child in the mother’s arms. With longitudinal rocking, the baby will calm down and fall asleep much faster.

2) Transverse pendulum. Such cribs are compact in size, so they are suitable for installation in rooms with a small area. They have been used for many years, but previously they tended to turn over to one side. In modern conditions, children's beds are equipped with special devices that prevent them from tipping over. All pendulum products have a locking mechanism, but this does not mean that it will perform its functions properly. Some manufacturers install low-quality parts on their products, so inspection and testing should be carried out during the selection process

It is also important to carry out the installation process correctly

3) Universal pendulum. Beds of this type provide users with the ability to transform the mechanism. This is convenient if you may need to change the position of a piece of furniture in the future. In this case, parents will be able to convert the bed in a short time. Such models also have the ability to remove side rails and install additional accessories.

The choice depends on the preferences of buyers. It is better to choose universal beds with a pendulum when the room area and budget allow.

Models for babies

The most popular models for newborns are round and classic rectangular cribs

Classic models, due to their popularity, are made from different types of wood, painted in a variety of colors and are presented in a variety of price categories. Therefore, it is very easy to choose a model that is suitable in appearance, functionality and price.

Things are much more complicated with the choice of a round or oval crib. Typically, the functionality of oval and rectangular cribs is the same, but their prices are much higher. This circumstance usually scares away young mothers and fathers.

Despite the apparent complexity of the design, making such a crib is not so difficult. Just look at the photo of how to make an oval-shaped crib to understand its structure.
