Round Crib
Even though most people prefer to use cribs with a rectangular shape, round baby cribs seem to become much more popular these days and more people use them every day.
The main advantage that comes with a round crib is that they don’t have any joints or sharp corners, making it a safer option for most parents, when compared with the cribs that have a rectangular shape.
One other advantage that comes with the round crib’s shape is that your baby will be able to see everything around the crib, getting a full 360 degree view of the world around him. Even more, a round crib looks better when placed in the middle of the nursery, so he has a lot to look at from his crib.
Plus, if you’re the parent, you can see what the baby is doing wherever you are in the room, since you’re getting the full view all the time. With this type of round crib, you have full access to the kid, from whatever angle you decide to use.
This round shape gives the baby more room than a standard crib, since the width will increase automatically, even though the overall size remains the same.
The one potential problem with this type or round crib is that you might have a problem when it comes to finding bedding for it. Ideally, you should get a crib that has its own bedding, since round bedding can be difficult to find. It’s harder to replace a baby crib mattress that is round, than it is to replace a rectangular one.
Just like rectangular cribs, the round ones can also come with a valance and canopy. If it also comes with a top, you will find it easier to hang toys from it, since the round shape will keep the toys in the center.
