How Does a Growing Crib Grow and Become a Bed?
Growing cribs offer both an economical and functional solution thanks to their adjustable features according to the baby's age and development level. There are some points to consider about how to grow growing cribs. These points are important both in terms of ensuring safety and extending the life of the crib.
- Height of the Bed Platform: The most distinctive feature of growing cribs is that the height of the bed platform is adjustable. When the baby is first born, the bed platform is at the highest level. This allows parents to move more easily when taking the baby and putting it down.
- Lowering Process: As the baby's mobility increases, the bed platform is lowered. There are usually three different height levels; in this way, the baby can continue to sleep safely as it grows.
- Removing the Side Rails: When the baby is 2-3 years old and becomes more independent, you can convert the crib into a child's bed by removing the side rails. This encourages your child to sleep on his own while also providing a safe sleeping area.
- Expansion Features: Our Almila crib models can be expanded with the storage section located under the bed to provide a larger bed area. Thanks to this feature, it meets your child's need for more space as they grow.
