How to choose a safe baby bed
Therefore, it is also important you know some important things about choosing box baby (baby bed) that is safe …
Mattress
Make sure the mattress that came with the baby box solid, really fit the bed size, and the fourth corner of the mattress is properly hooked into every corner of the bed. Most accidents associated with the box caused by a baby infant suffocated because wedged between mattresses with edge (fence) box.
To test the security of a mattress, you can try to slip your fingers on the sides. If you find that more than two fingers you can get in, meaning less bulky mattress.
Lattice fence
Next you should check whether the lattice (railing), which became a fence box baby is safe. We recommend that the lattice spacing is not more than 6 cm, so that your baby’s feet and hands cannot slip between them.
Small parts
Checks are also small sections on the entire box baby. See if there’s a screw loose, peeling paint and any damaged parts that can harm your baby. Check if the box has a part that could cause the baby clothes get caught.
Check also the strength and robustness of these boxes, especially if you buy a secondhand. Remember, your baby’s safety is far more important than money. Do not because you want to save, you ignore the safety of your baby!
If you find that endangers the safety of your baby, fix … or search for another box …
Long Term Plan
Whether you buy a box baby before or after your baby is born; it is very wise if you choose a box that can meet your needs for the long term.
Note the high fence box. Do not get too low, so that later can be scaled by your baby when he grows up more. Good also if you choose the fence that could be opened or shifted downwards, to help you when accessing your baby. Just make sure the drop-lid system is very safe for child safety.
