A crib is one of the most important purchases you can make for your nursery cots. Whether you want something modern with a minimalist design or an option that converts to turn into an infant bed or a daybed, there are plenty of options out there.
But before you buy be sure to look for these crucial characteristics:
1. Stokke Sleepi Bed
The crib is the most essential piece of equipment for babies that parents must consider when purchasing an infant. It is where your child will sleep so it should be attractive and functional and, most importantly, it should be safe and soothing.
