How to convert your baby bed into a child's bed?
Nateo CONCEPT
Keep your room longer thanks to the convertible bed.
When preparing for the arrival of a child, we generally quickly realise that many items will only be useful for a short period. This is particularly the case with the baby cot with bars, which is used after the cradle or co-sleeper and before moving to a child's bed. Indeed, the baby cot is generally used for about 2 years. However, it can be a significant purchase if you want to opt for a quality item.
Moreover, changing the baby cot means you can no longer enjoy the lovely complete and matching baby room you had created. Fortunately, it is possible to transform a baby cot into a child's bed, all thanks to a convertible baby cot!
What is a convertible baby cot?
What we call a convertible baby cot is a baby cot with bars that can be transformed into a child's bed. Indeed, this clever piece of furniture is designed to evolve as the child grows. By following the assembly instructions, you will be able to transform the cot into a child's bed. Sometimes, there isn't even a mattress to change or it's just a simple extension to add.
The advantages of the convertible baby cot
If the convertible baby cot is so appreciated, it's obviously for its many advantages. First of all, it is truly economical. Indeed, the arrival of a child often involves buying a cradle or a co-sleeper, then a cot with bars and finally a child's bed. With the convertible baby cot, you opt for a 2-in-1 piece of furniture and sometimes even 3-in-1 when you choose a convertible cradle cot.
It is also a more sustainable and eco-responsible choice. Indeed, you will be able to turn to a piece of furniture of beautiful quality that you will use for many years. It's an excellent investment over time. If you are environmentally conscious, we recommend favouring PEFC certified wooden furniture.
Finally, choosing a convertible baby cot is also an opportunity to preserve the aesthetics of the room. If you have opted for a complete baby room, changing the bed often means opting for a piece of furniture that will no longer match the rest. With the convertible baby cot, your child's bed remains in the same style as the other furniture. The decorative harmony of the room is thus preserved!
Our WOOD model
As an example, we can mention our WOOD convertible baby cot model. In its initial form, it is a 70x140 cm convertible baby cot. It can be transformed into a 70x140 cm child's bed. This allows you to keep the same mattress.
This model, made of PEFC certified ecological wood, is made in France and benefits from a solvent-free paint. This helps to limit the presence of volatile organic compounds and thus preserve the baby's well-being. It also gives a nice vintage style to the room.
What's the difference with a combination baby cot?
When talking about convertible baby cots, we can also mention the convertible combination cot. The combination baby cot is a baby bed that combines several pieces of furniture. Most often, we find a cot with bars, a changing table and storage elements in a combination baby cot. This all-in-one piece of furniture is often used in small spaces to avoid cluttering the room too much.
What's interesting is that the combination baby cot can also be convertible. This type of wooden baby cot therefore allows you to benefit from several elements in addition to the bed, but also to transform as the child grows. If you are looking for a solution that is both aesthetic, practical and economical, the convertible and combination child's bed is an excellent solution!
What are the other pieces of furniture that evolve with the child?
If you want to opt for durable furniture that will evolve with your child, there are several solutions!
The chest of drawers with changing table
Rather than opting for a classic changing table, we recommend choosing a chest of drawers equipped with a changing top. This is a classic chest of drawers with large storage drawers. Additionally, you can opt for a changing top. This is to be fixed on the chest of drawers to make it a changing table with integrated storage. Thus, you have a changing table in your child's room, in which you can easily store nappies, pyjamas, care products, etc.
When the baby is no longer of changing age, you simply remove the changing top from the chest of drawers. You can thus continue to use the chest of drawers for many years. This practical and economical solution also allows you to save space in the baby's room.
The wardrobe
While the wardrobe doesn't evolve like the convertible baby cot or the chest of drawers with changing top, it will still be useful for many years. Indeed, a wardrobe is always welcome in a child's room. It allows you to store clothes without taking up too much space in the room. You will therefore be able to store all the baby's clothes, then the child's clothes over time. The wardrobe is also an essential and durable piece of furniture over time for a child's room.
If you want to save money and opt for sustainable solutions, you can also give a second life to your wooden furniture!
