Buyers Guide to Nursery Furniture
Whether you’re a first-time parent or already have a child, there are several key pieces of nursery furniture that you will need for a new arrival. For the first few months a newborn will spend most of their time sleeping in either a basket or bassinet. Made from sturdy wicker, these baskets provide a convenient way to keep the baby close to hand without disturbing them. A basket stand helps the unit double as a place in which baby can sleep before a cot is required.
When your baby is old enough to sleep in a cot, look for one with a sturdy structure that incorporates a fixed rail. Cots are available in various designs and colours, and many can also be purchased with a matching chest of drawers.
Changing tables are an essential part of any nursery and are an excellent way to introduce additional storage into your child’s room. The Latitude cot top changer also provides a convenient way to quickly change your baby without much fuss, and can be purchased along with a matching crib.
Other items of nursery furniture include mattresses, drawers and side units, shelves and storage solutions. Accessories such as a corner bedtime peg rail provide a convenient place to hang blankets and other cot items.
Before long you will find yourself in need of a toy box. A box without a lid is best for young children to avoid accidents such as finger jams. If your toy box does have a lid, make sure that it is lightweight and completely removable. Alternatively, fully lockable hinges help keep lids safely open during play. A box with air holes is also a great safety precaution just in case your child should climb inside.
