The Tent That Assures a Complete Rest For Your Baby

Most parents would want to make sure that their baby is able to sleep through the night without any interruptions. Parents are also looking for ways to secure their babies in their cribs while lessening the chances of them falling off when left unattended. To address those concerns, there are now such things as crib tents for convertible cribs to make sure that your baby is protected from insects and falling off.

Bye-bye, insect bites

Crib tents for convertible cribs are designed to prevent insects from getting to your baby while you are not looking or when he is asleep. Made of nylon mesh nets, the crib tent is shaped like a dome and the spaces between the mesh are small enough to prevent roaches, moths, mosquitoes, and other insects from disturbing or harming your sleeping child.

The standard design of crib tents allows them to be secured on the crib with Velcro straps or loop holes. The mesh nets are see-through so you can see how your baby is doing inside the crib. There is also one side of the tent that you can open up with a nylon zipper and you can easily set up the tent in a few minutes.

Some crib tents for convertible cribs have extended nylon meshes to cover the sides of the crib. This type offers more protection for the baby that won't just secure him from falling over but also provides extra protection from insects that may attempt to enter through the gaps of the crib.

Convenient

The crib tent can also be portable and detachable so you can set it aside for storage or take it along with you for trips. That way, you can provide the same protection for your baby anywhere you take him to. Just make sure that the tent is still appropriate for his age. Most crib tents available are meant for cribs where children ages 3 and below can sleep.

Bassett Convertible Cribs

admin — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:36:00 +0000

Like most other manufacturers Bassett now makes convertible cribs. The company's latest collection owes much of its design inspiration from older American country styles. For, those who love simple, Cottage, New England or Shaker styles, Bassett Convertible cribs will pull at the heart strings.

Harking back to traditional American furniture styles seems to sit well with this Virginia based company. Unlike many baby furniture manufacturers, the company still makes its cribs in the United States using only the finest hardwoods and craftsmanship.

Using traditional designs and good materials is one thing, but Bassett convertible cribs are also made using the latest technology. Not only does this help to make a Bassett affordable whilst still being of the highest quality, it also means that each piece of nursery furniture meets and exceeds industry standards. All its convertibles have Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification, which helps to ensure a baby sleeps safely and that parents can sleep safe in the knowledge that no harm will come their little one.

Bassett aren't going to be to everyone's liking. Surprisingly, the company has not come up with a broad range of designs. There are no European modern styles, like that found in Pali cribs. And, the designs, whilst being very traditional, lack the intricate and fancy detailing of manufacturers such as Munire Cribs. The company doesn't really make cheap baby furniture either; instead, Bassett cribs occupy the mid-range price range.

Inevitably, many parents won't be buying a Bassett crib, but for those who like or yearn for good-old-fashioned, simple American furniture they will appreciate the designs of many of the Bassett convertible cribs.

The names used in the various collections give an idea of what to expect. The Cottage Pine collection is based on American country designs. There's a wainscot panel on the headboard. The legs are curved but simple which is reflected in the gentle curve of the back. The slats are also simple affairs. This is a 3-in-1 crib so it can be converted to a day bed - with this model there's only a headboard; no footboard when made into a bed.

The New Haven crib by Bassett reminds one of Shaker furniture. The headboard has a simple wainscot and straight top. The legs are squared and straight but are thin and graceful. The rails of the top and bottom panels have a very gentle downward curve - when converted to day bed, this piece of furniture reminds one of a Shaker Settle. The New Haven crib comes in two finishes; Natural and Cherry - the Cherry is definitely the one to choose.

Parker Convertible Crib - Natural

Da Vinci Parker 4-in-1 Convertible Crib Create a classic sophisticated nursery with the Da Vinci Parker 4-in-1 Convertible Crib as its centerpiece. Converting into a crib day bed toddler and full-size bed this quality set will last for years. The Da Vinci Parker 4-in-1 Convertible Crib features a smooth swooping side for elegance and ease of use - take your baby out with little effort. The 4-position mattress support adjusts for your growing baby. Easily convert their crib into a day bed or toddler bed. Unlike other convertible cribs Da Vinci has included the Toddler Bed Conversion Guard Rail for safety.

The rail also works with the Emily and Kalani cribs to convert to full size. The rolling trundle drawer underneath provides convenient hidden storage. Available in natural cherry oak and pearl white order the Da Vinci Parker 4-in-1 Crib today!

There are quite a few others in the collection, but let's take a quick look at just one; The American Home. Unlike the two mentioned above, this is a 4-in-1 convertible crib by Bassett. This means that it will convert not only into toddler and day bed, but it can also be converted to a full size bed. This is my personal favorite of the convertible cribs collection. It reminds me very much of furniture you'd expect to find in a New England home. The Carolina Pine finish really shows off this piece well. Again, it is very simple with squared legs and simple slats. It looks beautiful no matter what its configuration, but the toddler bed is divine.

The above three are my favorite Bassett convertible cribs but there are others like the Timber Creek, Winsor, Mission and Wendy Bellissimo. Perhaps, when you take a closer look at the company has to offer, you'll prefer one these. All of the baby cribs from Bassett echo the fine American tradition of making simple but beautifully elegant furniture.
