What kind of solid wooden baby bed is good? Selection skills of solid wooden baby bed

We all know that cribs are a very common baby product. Many babies sleep in cribs, especially those who are just born. There are many types of cribs on the market, and the materials are also different. Solid wood is a very popular material. So how do you choose a solid wood crib? Let's take a closer look!

How to choose a solid wood baby bed

First, material requirements

There are many types of cribs on the market, and each type is very delicate, making it difficult to choose. Among them, there are more choices of wooden solid wood beds, and different woods have different requirements for the baby's growth.

Wood like pine and fir, which are highly plastic and strong, can be selected comprehensively. Try to choose natural, environmentally friendly and harmless wood, which will fundamentally determine the environment in which the baby grows.

If it is a finished crib, parents should carefully consider the workmanship of the crib, whether the surface is flat, whether the inside is strong, etc., to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.

Second, paint selection

There will always be some wood burrs on the surface of a real solid wood bed, so the baby beds on the market will be polished and painted with a thin layer of paint.

In addition to the material, the quality of the paint also needs to be carefully evaluated to see if there is any peculiar smell and whether it is safe and harmless. So when you buy this kind of bed in the future, don't rush to arrange it. Ventilate it for a few days first, and it's not too late to arrange it at the end.

Third, the structure of the bed

Considering that it is a place for delicate babies to rest, parents should have a clear concept of the structure of the bed. For example, add a layer of fence protection around the crib, which should be higher than the thickness of the mattress.

When building, the gap between the fences should be less than 6cm and cannot be designed too wide.

Finally, the load-bearing capacity and size of the bed should be based on the baby's growth process.

Fourth, layout

When decorating a crib, parents should start with the child in mind, rather than defining it based on their own preferences. Avoid being too fancy and adding some unrealistic items that may cause harm to the child.

Children are angels sent by God, so parents should take care of them to the best of their ability during their growth. Even if it is a simple bed, it should be as good as possible.

Key points for purchasing solid wood baby cribs

Material

There are roughly two types of materials used in solid wood cribs: unpainted solid wood and painted solid wood. Unpainted solid wood is easy to understand, which means that the solid wood is processed, the surface is polished or treated with food-grade wood wax oil instead of paint. Painted solid wood is solid wood with protective paint or decorative paint on the surface. Paint basically contains benzene or formaldehyde. Therefore, in order to completely avoid the harmful substances in the paint from causing harm to the baby, regardless of whether it meets the corresponding environmental protection standards, try to choose an unpainted solid wood crib. There are roughly three types of materials used for unpainted solid wood cribs: beech, fir and pine. Among them, beech is the best quality, and pine and fir also have a strong smell. Therefore, in terms of material, choose unpainted beech. Although the price is relatively high, it is absolutely environmentally friendly.

Production process

We know that glue is used in furniture making. Although there is food-grade glue, we cannot be sure what kind of glue the merchant uses. Therefore, try to use a baby bed with mortise and tenon structure and metal hardware components to minimize the amount of glue used.

Another point that needs to be emphasized is that the solid wood mentioned here refers to logs, not veneers or spliced ​​wood. This should be paid special attention to. It is unlikely that the guardrail uses veneer wood, and the bed board must be made of good material. The easiest way to distinguish whether it is logs is to see whether the wood grain on the surface and the cut surface is continuous.

Crib safety indicators

1. The crib must meet national safety standards.

2. The spacing between the flat bars of the crib guardrail should be 45-60mm to prevent the baby's head from getting stuck between the bars and causing danger.

3. The distance between the flat bars of the crib board should be 12-30mm to ensure that the bed frame is firm and evenly bears the load.

4. When the bed board is adjusted to the highest height, the guardrail should be more than 300mm higher than the bed board to prevent the baby from falling out of the bed.

5. The load-bearing capacity of the bed board must reach more than 30kg.

6. The bed board can be adjusted to more than 3 levels of height. The baby's body develops very quickly, and different bed board heights can meet the baby's growth needs and ensure the baby's safety when using the crib.

7. If there are wheels, there must be a reliable wheel locking mechanism.
