Choosing the best bed for my baby
Are you creating your child's room decoration and having trouble deciding? That's perfectly normal, there are countless possibilities today, especially when it comes to beds. Classic, modern, original, or vintage-inspired, it's not always easy to find the best designer baby cot. Discover all our advice to learn about the different types of beds available and make your choice!
What are the different types of beds?
Before choosing the design of your baby cot, it's important to know all the existing types of beds to make your choice. We can notably mention:
- The classic baby cot: This is a barred baby cot or a plexiglass baby cot that can be used from birth or after using a cradle or co-sleeper, until the child is about 2 years old.
- The convertible baby cot: This piece of furniture evolves as the child grows. Depending on the model, it can transform from a cradle to a barred cot, then into a child's bed. Practical and economical, it allows the child to keep the same piece of furniture over the years (which is very appreciated when you've opted for a complete matching bedroom set).
- The combination baby cot: This is a barred cot that is combined with other furniture such as a dresser or changing table, for example. The main idea here is to save space in the room.
These three types of beds all have their advantages and the choice depends on the available space and budget, as well as personal preferences.
Different styles of baby cots
That's when it's time to consider the style and design of your future 70x140 baby cot. Here too, parents have several options:
- The white baby cot: This is a great classic in children's furniture that can easily fit into any room style. Its neutral color also makes it much easier to create a gender-neutral room. White also combines very easily with other colors.
- The colored baby cot: You can also opt for color such as grey, taupe, black, or even bolder colors.
- The wooden baby cot: Choosing a wooden bed means opting for furniture that is both beautiful and durable. We recommend choosing a solid wood baby cot, preferably PEFC certified (from eco-managed forests). To go further, you can also favor furniture with ecological materials or made in France to preserve your child's health and the environment.
- The designer baby cot: We often refer to a designer baby cot to describe furniture with a particularly well-crafted and original style. It's an excellent choice if you want to create a room with character and creativity.
- The vintage baby cot: By choosing a vintage convertible baby cot for example, you're referring to a vintage-inspired bed. The vintage convertible baby cot indeed incorporates design elements from furniture of yesteryear. You can find 50s-inspired vintage convertible baby cots like our WOOD or VINTAGE models. The vintage convertible baby cot is perfect for parents who want to revisit classic décor styles.
Whether you want to opt for a vintage convertible baby cot or a simple white cot, it's often this piece of furniture that sets the tone for the entire room's style.
What about choosing a complete bedroom set?
With your designer baby cot, you sometimes have the option to choose a complete bedroom set. For example, our VINTAGE convertible baby cot can be matched with the dresser and wardrobe from the same collection. Opting for a complete bedroom set allows you to have all matching furniture in the room.
Moreover, by choosing a vintage convertible baby cot, you ensure that everything remains coherent even after several years since the cot transforms into a child's bed. You won't need to have mismatched furniture as your child grows.
Furthermore, choosing a complete bedroom set with your vintage convertible cot or any other style of baby bed often allows you to save money. Buying furniture separately can indeed be more expensive than purchasing the bedroom set as a whole. Those on a tight budget will be delighted with this possibility!
Which bed for my 2-year-old baby?
At around 2 years old (everyone at their own pace), the use of a barred cot is no longer recommended. Most often, the child tries to climb over the barrier, which presents a risk of falling. Therefore, we recommend purchasing a simple bed. There are many possibilities for 2-year-old baby beds. Simple beds for little ones are usually equipped with guardrails to limit the risk of falling. These can be removed as the child grows.
You can also opt for a Montessori bed. Here, the sleeping surface is placed almost at floor level, which eliminates any risk of falling. Moreover, the child can get in and out of bed much more independently.
