Round Cribs For Your Precious Baby

Firstly, a round crib looks less bulky and it optimizes space. If your nursery is not too big to start with, putting in a round crib can make a difference to the decor. Furthermore, a round crib gives you the flexibility to place it anywhere in the room apart from lining it up against the wall, as is the usual practice with a standard crib. For instance, you can put a round crib right in the center, making it a focal point of the room.

Secondly, a round crib has a greater surface area compared to a standard crib. Most round cribs are 42 inches in diameter while a rectangular crib is only about 27 inches in width.

Thirdly, because a round crib is 14 inches wider, your baby is less likely to hit his head on the opposite side of the rail should he falls backwards. Falling backwards is a common occurrence when a baby is learning how to sit and stand. With a round crib, there is also no corners and concussion point to worry about compared to a traditional crib.

Lastly, a round crib provides a 360 degree view of the room for your baby while you too can catch sight of him from all angles.

Most round cribs would have a price range of over $600 with many selling for about $1,000 or more. But if all that you want is an affordable round crib with no fancy carvings, then the Angel Line traditional round cribs may fit your budget.

Retailing for about $500 to $550, this round crib has two mattress support positions with a wood support bar across the crib. The price includes a 5-inch firm foam mattress, which makes it a value for money purchase for a round crib. It is also available in various finishes including oak, cherry and white.

This is a round or rather oblong-shaped crib that allows for conversion into a junior bed. Most round cribs do not have such a feature but the Stokke model offers a unique concept worth looking into.

You can buy the Stokke crib as a stand alone without the conversion kit but you can also have different options under their collection. For Sleepi System 1, what is offered is a bassinet-cum-crib set while for Sleepi System 2, you get a crib and junior bed set. For Sleepi System 3, you will have the flexibility of converting the bassinet to a crib and then to a junior bed with all the necessary conversion parts provided.
