Create the Perfect Nursery for Your Baby

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:31:50 +0000

Welcoming a new addition into the family is one of life's sweetest moments. Designing a stylish nursery that will be a haven for you and your little one is a wonderful way to prepare for baby's arrival. Choosing a unique baby crib will create a fabulous centerpiece, and set your baby's nursery apart.

New trends for baby cribs include themed cribs. Princess themed cribs are favorites for girls, and train themed cribs are a classic choice for boys. Other popular themes for boys include race cars, fire trucks and nautical designs, and themes for girls include fairies, butterflies and floral designs.

For a smaller nursery, choosing a crib that offers storage is a great way to maximize the space. Baby cribs that have a drawer under the mattress, or units that combine the crib and changing table or drawers, provide much needed storage for all of baby's necessities. Circular baby cribs are also a great space saving design for smaller nurseries.

For parents that like a clean, modern look, the trend is to minimize accessories and select a crib with simple lines. Modern cribs are available in classic colors such as black and white. Parents that want a brighter color palate can choose a crib in bold red, blue, or pink.

Parents who want their baby's crib to serve double (or triple) duty can choose a convertible crib. These cribs can be converted into a toddler bed, day bed and full sized bed, growing up right along with baby! For parents who choose co-sleeping, baby cribs that attach to the parent's bed are another option. Co-sleepers also often have options for later use, such as converting into play yards.

With so many choices of imaginative cribs, parents can find a crib that reflects their sense of style. Choosing a unique crib for your baby is a perfect way to design a nursery that provides a comfortable and restful space for your little one.

Seed Organic Cradle

bwestbye — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:00:22 +0000

We don’t recommend letting them sleep outside, but you get the idea. The Seed Organic Cradle ($329) is as natural as all outdoors. There’s not one damn hint of any chemical in this cradle. 100% Organic hypoallergenic cotton (much stronger and softer). Natural sap-derived latex mattress (contours to baby). Mattress base with breather holes top to bottom (maximum air circulation). It’s stronger, softer and cleaner. That’s sleeping better in our book.

Green Lullaby Eco Cradle

Yes, it’s actually a cardboard cradle. The Eco Cradle from Green Lullaby ($107) is made of corrugated cardboard, so it’s tough enough to withstand the first few months of baby’s life. The idea is to have a crib that will be level with your bed, and fold down and reassemble easily for road trips. And of course, it has to be eco-friendly. So it’s made of recycled cardboard, which can then be recycled. Yeah, that works. On all levels.

It’s not quite a bouncy house, but it’s the next best thing. (And much more hygienic.) The Air Crib ($89) is an on-the-go crib that sets up wherever you are in under a minute. Inflate the mattress, lay down the fitted sheet and go-go-go. See-through mesh panels mean your baby will be with you all the time, at the beach, the park or even at visiting your friends. Float baby off to sleep and have some fun.

Coco Mat Organic Crib Mattress

bwestbye — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:01:25 +0000

The Coco Mat Organic Crib Mattress ($375) has more layers than a burrito, and unlike your burrito, they’re all natural. The mattress core is coir (coconut fibers) cultivated from the only organic coir plantation on earth. From there, it just gets softer, with a layer of non-allergenic lambs wool for ventilation and insulation, and a top of 100% chemical-free cotton. Clean, organic cushy softness means you and baby will both sleep tight. (Except for your burrito heartburn…)
