What Is So Special
Most people would agree that a round crib is beautiful, especially those that come with handmade carvings and a canopy. In addition, many people with a small nursery prefer a round crib as it helps to optimize space.
Surface Area And Safety
But apart from the obvious, a round crib also has a bigger surface area compared to a traditional baby crib. Most round cribs have an inside diameter of 42 inches, compared to about 27 inches in width for a rectangular crib. This means a round crib has three square inches more total area than the regular crib.
It is also 14 inches wider which is why sellers can claim that your baby is less likely to hit the other side of the crib when he or she falls backwards. This makes it safer since it is inevitable that your baby will fall backwards when he or she is learning how to sit and stand. And with the round crib’s gentle curves, your baby has no corners and concussion points to bump into compared to a rectangular crib.
Round View
A further specialty of the round crib is that you can place it in the middle of the room and let your baby have a 360-degree view of the room. Some crib manufacturers have marketed this as encouraging visual stimulation in your baby as he or she grows. No doubt, a baby can become easily bored being stuck in a crib and having more things to look at is always better than less.
Similarly, you will also be able to catch sight of your baby from all angles with a round crib and access him or her from all sides if the crib is not lined up against a wall. Comparatively, most standard cribs would end up being placed against a wall due to its rectangular shape.
Unique Models
There is also other uniqueness that is peculiar to one or two models of a round crib. One particular brand has a swinging door that can be opened not only to access your baby but also allow you to curl up inside the crib together with him or her. Because a round crib is three and a half feet wide in diameter, you can get in and just have the tips of your feet off the mattress.
Another brand has a design that allows conversion to a toddler bed. Almost all round cribs do not have the conversion option which many parents like. But if you prefer a round crib and the conversion feature as well, just be aware that there are one or two models out there that can offer you this practicality.
Conclusion
Now that you know what is so special about a round crib and what it can offer, the question is do you want to pay for these benefits? If you think that the benefits are worth the money, then by all means, buy a round crib. On the other hand, if you can live without the luxuries, settle for a standard crib instead. Evaluate your needs and wants and you will be able to decide the right crib for your baby.
