Baby cribs have changed dramatically over the past few years. Many designers have made the baby crib a beautiful piece of art that not only meets the needs of the baby, but also adds drama and distinction to a room decor. When you selecting a baby crib, finding one that will provide you with the beauty and safety you want for your baby will be very helpful.

Styles of cribs are very different. People are not longer bound to the standard rectangular crib of old. Now, you may choose beautifully carved beds, cribs that have artistic flow, and cribs that can be personalized to reflect your unique style.

A style that is growing in popularity is the round crib. These are perfect additions in a small space or room where you want the crib to be an artistic focal point. Most of the cribs have a canopy system that enhances the design that embodies the body of the bed. When the crib is set up, it looks very tall, but will actually fit easily in a room with a standard eight foot ceiling.

The cribs are multi-positional and have casters that make it possible to move the bed easily. Designers are very creative with these beds. The beds can be found in beautiful carved wood with carousel horses dancing around the bed. Or, you may want a crib that replicates a beautiful crystal and reflects the sunlight in prisms to play delicately on the wall around your baby's bed.

Many people find that convertible cribs are a great and affordable way to give your baby a wonderful place to grow. The 4-in-1 crib can be adjusted for each stage of growth from baby to teen. The cribs are made to add a unique dimension to a room and fit with any decor. You can find beautifully carved pieces, or more modern, minimalistic designs that will fit with a teen's room nicely.

These cribs are made with an added dedication to making them totally functional for several years. They are durable and sturdy, with many having several extra coatings of protectorant to assure that the stain, paint, or coating does not become worn. As your baby grows, the mattresses are easily repositioned to one of the eight settings built into the crib. In addition, when the bed is converted to a toddler or twin bed, standard mattresses will fit easily on it.

Comparing baby cribs will be fun and exciting and you will want to make sure that the baby crib you select has met the JPMA certification standards. These are very strict standards that assure the crib is completely safe for your baby. When you are looking at the cribs, the space between the crib frame and mattress will also be a factor to consider. Choosing a crib that can be easily positioned for the size and mobility of the baby will be very beneficial as your baby grows.
