Baby Bedroom Sets

By Darren Hartley


The crib is always on the centre of baby bedroom sets. The set of course comprises of other pieces of furniture. These pieces include changing tables, drawers and shelves, bassinets, rocking chairs and cradles. If you think completing this set completes the baby equipment required in the baby's room, you're on for the surprise of your life.

Changing tables, as an element in baby bedroom sets, provide a safe place to diaper and dress the baby. To be functional, a changing table should be at a height comfortable for the parent to handle the baby without needing to lean over. It must have a waterproof pad and enough space for an open storage of shirts and diapers.

Next on our list of elements of baby bedroom sets are drawers and shelves. If you bought a changing table, the shelves underneath it may already have the storage space you need. If it does not, a used baby chest or dresser that can be refinished may be an option.

Bassinets are elements of baby bedroom sets that must be stable and not shaky. They must not have sharp edges. They must not have hinges or clips that could catch the fingers of the baby. They must not have sharp or rough areas that can scratch the sensitive skin of the baby.

The drawback to the use of rocking chairs as part of baby bedroom sets is the probability of a baby getting caught in its frame and getting hit on the head should he push it, as he begins to crawl around the nursery. Another potential hazard would be the baby putting his fingers under the rocker while it is on the move.

The last on our pieces included in baby bedroom sets are cradles. A word of caution must be said of cradles. Cradles are commonly suspended by means of hooks, which sometimes stick out and can injure a baby as it is put in or taken out of the cradle. Therefore, make sure the hooks of the cradle are never protruding.
