An oval crib is the most natural solution for a newborn - so parents can approach from any side. Thanks to the wheels and light but durable wood from which the “Drema” cribs for newborns are made, a mother can rearrange them on her own at least every day.

But the most important thing is that after a while the cradle for a newborn will easily turn into a cot-playpen, and then into a small set of two chairs and a table. “Drema” can be used as a sleeping place from birth to 10 years, thanks to the maximum length into which the transformable children’s bed can be folded out. The only thing you will have to take care of in advance is a special mattress for a round crib, which can also be purchased from our online store.

A crib with a transformation mode will captivate parents with its stylish design, versatility and practicality. A properly designed cradle will provide a feeling of safety and comfort, improving the quality of sleep of a newborn baby.

Round transformable bed for newborns - advantages and features

A multi-component round transformable bed will be an excellent addition to the classic and modern interior of a children's room. Babies spend most of their time in the cradle, so the furniture must be spacious and safe for children aged 0 to 3 years.

A crib with a transformation mode is a combination of several items that are actively used when caring for a baby. The design can be converted into a playpen, a sofa, a changing table and even a full-fledged sleeping place for children aged 3 to 6 years.

Advantages and features of a round crib:

• Compactness. The design consists of many components that take the place of a regular cradle. Elite furniture models have drawers for storing children's clothes and toys.
• Ease of transformation. Parents can independently assemble and transform the cradle into a full-fledged bed, playpen or convenient changing table.
• Great review. Parents can watch their child from any corner of the room.
• Elegant and original design. The crib will fit perfectly into the design of the nursery.
• Safety. Designers of children's furniture try to smooth out sharp corners that can harm a child who begins to crawl or roll over. The frame is made from natural materials that are safe for the baby’s health.

The service life of a baby crib is on average 10 years. Worn structural elements can be replaced, thereby updating or modifying the furniture. Many models are equipped with canopies, rocking mechanisms and wheels for moving the crib.

In the interior, a children's round bed will attract attention, so you should carefully study its configuration. The transformation happens in a matter of minutes. You can adjust the height of the base of the bed, transforming the crib into a full-fledged playpen or changing table. Some models expand in diameter and are divided into two chairs.

A transformer is more expensive than a regular bed for a newborn. The price depends on the configuration and number of functions. If you add up the cost of purchasing the structural elements of such furniture separately, purchasing a crib with a transformation mode will be a profitable investment.

Which pendulum is better, longitudinal or transverse: advantages and doctors’ opinions

When preparing for the arrival of a newborn baby, one of the main purchases of young parents, along with a stroller and a high chair, will, of course, be a crib. It will become a place where the baby will be calm, comfortable, and he will be able to take a break from his first impressions in our world. Even the very first crib models had special devices for rocking babies to sleep.

It was noticed that under rhythmic movements the baby falls asleep faster and sleeps much more soundly, which is very useful for the development of a young body. Progress does not stand still, and modern models of cribs are equipped with special devices for motion sickness - pendulums. They are longitudinal, transverse and universal. Therefore, the question: which pendulum is better, longitudinal or transverse, interests many parents.

Let's look at the main features of each type.

Advantages of cribs with a longitudinal pendulum

When the mother rocks the baby in her arms, it makes longitudinal movements, due to which the baby swings from the legs to the head and back. It is these movements that are repeated by a crib with a longitudinal pendulum. Its design is such that, while rocking, the child moves from the legs to the head and back, as when rocking in a stroller for a walk. Therefore, many experts consider such movements to be the most natural and familiar for a young body.

The reasons for buying a stroller with a longitudinal pendulum include:

1. Familiarity. The baby is very familiar with the longitudinal movements of motion sickness; this is how he fell asleep in his mother’s arms, or on a walk in a park or square.
2. Ease for mom. It is a little easier to move the surface of a longitudinal pendulum than a transverse one.
3. Speed ​​of falling asleep. Reviews from mothers about which pendulum is better, longitudinal or transverse, are unanimous: in a crib with a longitudinal rocking system, the baby falls asleep faster.
4. Safety. Many pediatricians believe that longitudinal motion sickness has a better effect on the vestibular apparatus than transverse motion sickness.

Equipment - what elements does the round transformable bed consist of?

To choose a suitable bed, along with the design of structural elements, you should take into account the parameters of materials for manufacturing and decorative components. We must not forget about the child’s preferences, especially if the furniture is designed for long-term use.

A crib must first of all be safe, so it includes structural elements that must meet the individual needs of the child. The width between the rods must be taken into account, which should not exceed 6 cm.

Types of bed frame:

• Solid arcs connected by a single semicircle.
• Quarter circles fastened together.

The first option is stronger and more reliable. This design is easy to assemble and transform. The frame is strengthened using a connecting strip (tsar), which is located in the lower part of the semi-cylinders. The child can frolic, move and even jump inside; the frame can easily withstand such loads.

Let's go to the lesson

You can see the process of making a cradle in the example of a master class. We took the diagram from the last drawing and simplified it a little.

We cut out the headboard and legs, then cover them with colorless transparent acrylic varnish.

Next we make the sides.

You can buy these round sticks at the store, then you will need to sand them and glue them to two strips.

Making the bottom of the cradle. As you can see, we make it not from one thick board, but from slats.

We drill holes and begin to assemble the crib.

This is what should happen at this stage.

Cut out the legs in the shape of the letter "L".

Cut out the swing mechanism.

Let's collect it.

At night, you can clamp the discs with clamps so that they stick better.

We present a photo of the cradle that we got, from different angles.

We sew the sides and mattress cover.

What transformation options does a round crib have?

A round bed has no corners that could cause injury. The child here feels protected, as if in the mother’s womb. Manufacturers include instructions with the bed, allowing parents to independently choose the optimal furniture conversion mode.

Popular options for transforming a 6-in-1 bed:

• A round-shaped cradle for a newborn with a lowering base for a sleeping place. By moving the bottom to the upper position, you can get a full-fledged changing table. This bed option is designed for children aged 0 to 6 months. The size of the sleeping place is from 70 to 100 cm in diameter. A canopy can be installed above the cradle.
• Spacious oval children's bed for babies up to 3 years old. Due to additional parts, the sleeping area can be expanded up to 120 cm in length. The width depends on the diameter of the cradle, that is, it ranges from 70 to 90 cm. The height of the berth is adjustable, and the guards can be removed if necessary.
• A spacious playpen can be obtained by moving the base of the berth to the lower position. The crib becomes a safe play space.
• The children's sofa, which the structure turns into after dismantling one of the side rails, will allow the child to rest during the day. The width of the seat depends on the size of the bed (120-160 cm). For additional comfort, it is recommended to lean several pillows against the backrest.
• Two armchairs and a table are formed by detaching the central crossbar and the side parts. Each chair is 70-90 cm wide and 35-45 cm deep and can support a weight of up to 90 kg.
• An oval bed for children from 3 to 9 years old can be obtained by expanding the central crossbar. The width of the bed remains the same, and the length can reach 140-165 cm.

What is it and how does it work?

Pendulum cribs are a type of children's furniture that allow you to rock your baby back and forth or from side to side. The main advantage of such models is that they allow the baby to quickly get used to his new place. After all, motion sickness occurs right in the sleeping place.

Among the disadvantages, the high cost compared to other models is noted. It will be easy for the child to get used to motion sickness and subsequently, without it, it may be difficult for him to fall asleep or calm down.

If the pendulum system is fixed poorly or incorrectly, this will lead to injury to the baby. It is important to take this into account when assembling a crib.

It is recommended to begin assembly by preparing the place where the work will be directly carried out. The space where you plan to assemble the crib should be covered with a large piece of light-colored fabric or replaced with plain paper. This will prevent damage and scratches that may occur on structural elements. Also, if any bed screw gets lost, you can easily find it on a light-colored canvas.

Next, it is recommended to lay out in front of you all the parts of the crib with a pendulum, the necessary tools, so that everything is located nearby. Place the diagram from the kit next to it.

Assembly process: step-by-step instructions

You can assemble a crib with a pendulum-shaped mechanism using the following instructions.

1. The fixed rear part is screwed to the side elements of the crib using screws. It is enough to take 4 screws, placing 2 on each side. It is important at the time of connection not to confuse the upper and lower parts at the back wall of the bed. In the case of side panels, it is simpler; there are legs on them, which allow you to accurately determine what should be at the top and what at the bottom. Pendulum crib with chest of drawers
2. After the frame has been formed, you should proceed to installing the sleeping area of ​​the baby's crib. It can be in the form of a solid element or look like transverse boards that are held in place with a cord. It is not recommended to secure the baby's crib bed too tightly. To begin with, it will be enough to “attach” the structure with the required number of screws. Pendulum crib made of solid wood
3. The side parts have special guide grooves. The front wall of the bed should be secured to them. After this, you can begin to more firmly secure the screws in the bed of the crib. White crib pendulum
4. Turning the entire structure over, you can completely notice the presence of metal grooves into which the wheels are inserted. If you want to roll the bed, you should install them. If you plan to rock the structure with the child on the side elements in the shape of arcs, then the crib does not require wheels. Pendulum crib
5. Before installing the pendulum, attach the linen rack (if available). After this, you can proceed to fastening the front side part. Pendulum crib made of solid wood

What kind of mattresses come with round transformable cribs?

Three mattresses can be supplied with the bed, which can be equipped with a cradle, a standard and a large oval transformable bed. For children, mattresses filled with coconut coir and latex foam are suitable. They perfectly support the baby's body. It is better to buy covers that are removable, since the baby often gets the sleeping area dirty. When purchasing bedding, you should give preference to natural fabrics. The best solution would be to purchase a cotton cover, but you can use high-quality wool as a replacement.

The mattress is not only environmentally friendly, but also has amazing orthopedic properties. The base with ventilation holes ensures optimal air circulation in the sleeping area. When using the bed as a table, playpen or chairs, the mattress is removed.

Sweet nest

The process of creating a nest for a cradle with your own hands can be followed using the example of a master class. For this we will need cotton fabric measuring 80*100 cm, you can take two pieces of one or more colors, openwork lace and satin ribbon about three meters, holofiber or padding polyester.

First, we make a pattern. It is perfect for kids. It can also be downloaded from the link below.

Then we baste two pieces of fabric and lace. The front side should face inward. We begin to stitch and overcast the fabric. You need to make very neat seams for beautiful edges. Next, turn the nest inside out and steam the edges.

Stepping back two cm from the edge, sew the seam. We'll need it a little later.

We cut out and round the edges a holofiber measuring 70*35 or use padding polyester. Now we fill the nest with it and make a couple of horizontal seams. Also, don’t forget to stitch the side of the cocoon.

Then we stretch the satin ribbon. To make this job easier, use a pin.

We stuff the sides and hand stitch the open edges.

We tie a bow with a satin ribbon. The wider you take the ribbon, the larger the bow you will get.

Also, do not forget that when there are large edges left, there is no need to trim them. Thanks to them, you can adjust the length of the nest.

We sewed this cute nest for a newborn ourselves. As you can see, there was nothing complicated in the sewing process. The result is simply impressive! And the edges of the nest can be crocheted.

What additional features are equipped with round models of transformable children's beds?

Additionally, the oval bed for newborns is equipped with decorative elements, including soft sides and pillows. In advanced furniture models, a canopy and a motion sickness system are additionally installed. A canopy over the bed helps protect the baby from drafts, sunlight and dust. Complete with children's furniture, a canopy in the form of a “crown” design is used, covering the cradle with a translucent canvas or partially covering the sleeping area of ​​a regular bed.

The pendulum mechanism is adapted for comfortable rocking of the child. The transverse pendulum swings the crib from side to side, while the longitudinal mechanism moves the berth from the head to the foot. The second option is preferable. The cradle, due to its round shape, supports both mechanisms.

Children's cribs are presented in a wide range. They differ in design, construction and additional features. Due to the large number of offers, the selection process often becomes difficult. In this article we will take a closer look at beds with a pendulum - the most popular option.

What it is?

A crib with a pendulum is a piece of furniture that is made of wood and equipped with a swinging mechanism - a pendulum. If the baby has not yet been born, it is difficult to determine whether this model should be preferred. Medical experts disagree, so making a final choice is not easy.

Transformable bed with pendulum and drawers:

The principle of operation of the pendulum mechanism is simple: the rocking chair is set in motion by touching the body with your hand. The baby, moving in the crib, is also able to launch it himself. The main requirements are that it should not stand close to the wall with its moving sides and should be equipped with a lock:

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.
