Round transformable children's bed: types, methods of transformation

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.

Choosing a size

The sizes of the beds are determined according to standards. For newborns (up to six months), the diameter of a round sleeping place should be about 90 cm. For an oval one - 125 by 75 cm (length and width, respectively). There are models on sale that can expand to dimensions of 160 by 90 cm.

When purchasing, you should consult in advance whether the crib has the ability to resize and transform. The oval crib is 120 cm long and about 65 cm wide and can only be used for children under 3 years of age. For children 5-7 years old, it is necessary that the product can be extended to a length of 160 cm.

You can also find products with the ability to extend up to 190 cm and expand up to 90 cm. This is the most practical option with a long service life, but not affordable for everyone.

Parents can adjust the height of the sides themselves. A comfortable height for newborns is 40-70 cm. As the child grows up, the sides drop lower, and over time they can be removed altogether.

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.

Additional structural elements:

Wheels with locks allow you to move the crib.
The pendulum mechanism is designed to rock a child.
The box under the crib is used as a place to store baby things.
Covers on the sides made of silicone, plastic or natural fabric will protect the child from injury.
The bottom height adjustment system is designed to change the position of the bed base.
A removable partition will allow you to place the crib next to your parents' sleeping area.

A high-quality round bed for newborns has a durable and stable design, in which each part performs a specific function. Additionally, a multi-stage base height adjustment system, wheels and an extension are installed to transform the cradle into a full-fledged oval crib.

Equipment options:

3 in 1 consists of a cradle, changing table and playpen. Transformable by moving the base of the bed along the fixed side walls. Suitable for children up to 1 year.

6 in 1 turns into a changing table, sofa, play area and large bed for a preschool child. This furniture can be converted into a table with two chairs.
8 in 1 has a built-in pendulum system for rocking children to sleep.

Standard crib sizes are about 90 cm in diameter for a round cradle and 125x75 cm for an oval bed. Some models suggest the possibility of expanding the sleeping area up to 160x90 cm. The height of the sides is adjusted by parents.

Materials for the manufacture of children's furniture must be natural and environmentally friendly. Manufacturers use solid birch or beech of the highest grade. Additionally, the frame is covered with hypoallergenic paints and varnishes and reinforced with metal fasteners.

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.

The base is surrounded by bumpers on all sides, which protect the child from falling out of the bed. During installation and unfolding, you may need a small set of tools to tighten and remove bolts.

Purchase recommendations

If you decide to buy just such a model of a children's bed, then you need to pay attention to several parameters when purchasing.

Firstly, the material from which it is made . The classic, but most practical and safest option is wood. So, birch is quite durable, beech retains its good appearance for a long time and does not scratch. But pine is not a very good choice. Pine cribs are cheaper, but are easily deformed and quickly lose their original beauty.
Secondly, the shape of the beams from which the side is made. They can have a round or rectangular shape. Rounded ones are safer, since they definitely won’t harm the baby if his hand or leg gets between them. It is also important to measure the distance between the rods - it should not exceed seven to eight centimeters so that the child cannot stick his head through.
Thirdly, you need to find out what kind of varnish and/or paint the product is coated with, since some coating materials can be toxic or have an unpleasant odor, which is harmful to the baby and other family members.
It is also important to pay attention to the possibility of attaching a canopy and/or mobile, since not all models have it.
And of course, it is highly recommended that before purchasing, even if it is made in an online store, you see the crib with your own eyes. Touch it, test its strength, understand whether it is suitable for the height of the parents and whether it is convenient for specific parents to use it.

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.

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.

What's new?

The answer to this question is hidden in the name itself. This transforming crib has an unusual round-oval shape . And it is called a transformer because it can easily be transformed - become narrower or wider, longer and oval or round, the sleeping place itself can rise and fall within the height of the sides. The description for round cribs states that they can be used up to the child’s school age due to the possibility of expansion. In addition, it can become a sofa, chairs with a table in the middle, a changing table, a playpen - the possibility of such transformations of the crib is indicated by the postscript “three in one”, “four in one”, “eight in one”, etc. In the title.
