Buying a Baby Cot Bed and Cot Bed Mattress - What to Check

Expensive cots always do not offer better service than less expensive ones. In many expensive models the thick cot bed mattress creates less height and that may account for the baby's fall or an accident. Thus, you need to check out some options while you go shopping for the baby cot bed and mattress.

Things to look out for when buying a baby cot

Toddler Bed Rail

1. Choose a cot that offers a good height from the base of the cot bed mattress to the top of the moving cot rail.

2. Buy a cot with open sides that offers free circulation of air in order to prevent suffocation and sweating of the baby.

3. Since a baby remains in the cot for most of the time make sure to buy a cot that is strong and sturdy without any broken slats.

4. Used cots in various shapes and sizes helps to save a lot of money. If you are on a tight budget, used cots in good conditions are a great option.

5. Wheeled cots are also great as they provide the advantage of being shifted.

6. Select cots with drop sides and adjustable base height that enables you to get your baby in and out easily.

7. Cots must meet the minimum safety requirements.

8. The crib should have a firm, tight-fitting mattress. The distance between crib slats should be no more than 6 centimeters.

9. Ensure that the drop sides are at least 23 centimeters above the mattress support when lowered and at least 66 centimeters when raised.

10. Avoid all decorative touches that could break off and be a potential choking hazard.

11. Go for a cot with a teething rail that allows a protective plastic coating around the edges, to prevent your baby chewing on the wooden slats of the cot.

How to select a good cot bed mattress

A good cot bed mattress is one that has no more than 1 inch gap between the mattress and the cot sides and end since the baby seems to get stuck in the gaps.

A strong and well fitting mattress with a waterproof mattress protector but devoid of all plastic packaging ensures that the baby doesn't get chocked.

Soft bedding, including sheep or lambskins, under the bottom sheet should be avoided to restrict any suffocating condition. A cot bed mattress that retains your handprint on being pushed is hazardous for your baby.

A bark filled mattress, a pillow, pillow top mattress, a water bed, cushion, bean bag or sofa do not pass the safe hand test as they do not regain their original shape after being firmly touched but retain the handprints. These should thus be avoided.

Thus, with the above points in mind, you can make an excellent purchase of cot bed and cot bed mattress that would last you for years and keep your baby safe.

Portable Scooter and Wheelchair Ramps - Getting to Know What Types Are Available

If you are considering the need for a mobility ramp to keep you moving or to transport your scooter or wheelchair down from a truck or mini van, it is advisable to find as much information as you can on the types of ramps available. The wide variety of ramps on the market are ideal for negotiating steps and curbs, getting you smoothly over any transition in height that a doorway may present, and also to load and unload your chair from a vehicle. Determining what height or obstacle you are trying to negotiate will help you to decide which style of ramp works best for you. How steep is the incline? How high? How wide and heavy is your chair or scooter? Do you need to carry the ramp with you to use at your destination? What is your budget? Answering these questions will assist in narrowing down the choices and finding a ramp that works best for your needs.
Here is a description of some of the more popular scooter portable ramp types:

Toddler Bed Rail

Threshold Ramps - These are designed for doorways, sliding glass doors, and raised landings. They allow for easier wheelchair movement within or outside of your home.

Toddler Bed Rail

These ramps can be installed permanently or moved around as necessary. These are generally smaller in size and fairly inexpensive, ranging from - 0.

Roll Up Ramps - This style of ramp is a good choice for someone who needs an easily transportable ramp. Designed with hinges and usually made with aluminum, it easy to roll up and light enough to carry anywhere. Some ramps are of a fixed size and some allow for extension of up to 8 feet or more, meaning the user can access different models of mini and full-sized vans with just one ramp. Prices start around 0.

Suitcase Ramps - A convenient and compact ramp that folds in half lengthwise and features a built-in carrying handle to allow it to be carried like a suitcase when not in use.

Again, made of aluminum to keep it lightweight. Smaller models may come with a storage bag. This ramp works for most scooters and wheelchair types and is designed to bridge the gap over steps and curbs. Larger models work for van loading. To use it you simply unfold the hinged ramp, position it and go. Prices start around 5 for a 2 foot ramp.

Multi-Fold Ramps - These are very similar in design to the suitcase ramp and may also offer a handle for carrying like a suitcase. The reason you may want to choose a ramp that does more than just fold in half is if you need a larger ramp and storage is an issue. Here you are going to get a ramp that allows to you to maneuver much taller obstacles but yet still be able to fold up the ramp into a size comparable to a much smaller ramp. Prices start around 5.

Telescopic Ramps - These extend to allow you to use them at a variety of height levels so you can use just one ramp to navigate steps, vans, or curbs. For storage, simply pick up each ramp rail and depress the guide buttons to collapse; this ramp offers the lightest weight and most compact storage. Prices start at around 0

Track Wheelchair Ramps - Basically this is two separate ramps that are lined up to the width of the chair or scooter's (doesn't work for 3 wheeled scooters) wheels. Some versions offer telescoping for easier storage. Generally they are made of aluminum to keep them lightweight. This is a good option if you are transporting more than one chair and not all of them have the same wheel width. Prices start around 0.

If you are looking to buy a portable or van ramp for your scooter, we suggest taking a look online for the best prices and value. There are many quality online stores that focus on top notch mobility aids, keeping up with the latest brands and manufactured technology.

A Safari of Fun With Giraffe Crib Bedding

So, you are about to decorate the nursery. If it is your first, you are probably beside yourself with the choices out there, and you want the best. Of course, decorating the baby's room is always fun and exciting; but it can be overwhelming. Or maybe you are trying to think of the perfect baby shower gift. Just like everything else, it helps to educate yourself before you make your purchase. Crib bedding is something every nursery has to have, but do you think you know all you need to know about crib bedding? Do you realize that half of the baby's day will be in his/her crib? Do you know what is included in the bedding?

Toddler Bed Rail

Crib bedding usually consists of a fitted sheet, bumper pad, quilt, and a bed skirt. The Beautiful Giraffe Loving Family giraffe crib bedding set by GEENNY has a 13 piece set which includes one comforter, one bumper, one fitted sheet, one skirt, two window valances, one diaper stacker, a toy bag, 2 throw pillows and 3 art decor hangings.

Toddler Bed Rail

Why giraffes? Giraffes are elegant, graceful creatures that all children love. The adorable giraffe theme is sewn on, not a printed pattern. With this set, you will have just about everything you will need. The colors work for infant boys or girls. The fitted sheet is necessary as loose fabric can suffocate a baby. As your baby begins to move around the crib, bumper pads will give protection from the crib sides. It will protect the head and keep the arms and legs inside the crib. You will need to fasten the pads to the rails securely so that the baby does not get tangled in them. Once your baby is standing, they should be removed so they do not serve as a way to pull themselves higher against the rails. The set also includes a light quilt with two giraffes, one white, one brown, standing by a tree. The quilt should be lightweight to keep your baby warm. Anything heavy could be dangerous for infants 12 months or younger. You can always put warm pj.s on the baby. The blanket or quilt should only be pulled up to the chest. Stay away from heavy and fluffy blankets and quilts. The giraffe theme is perfect if you do not know the sex of your baby. Even if you do, animals always make adorable nurseries.

If you are going to be painting the nursery, it is suggested that you not wait until the last month to decorate. You want the paint smells to be gone and/or the wallpaper glue. Wash all the crib bedding before you use it. Take your time looking at different ways to use the crib bedding and decor...be creative.

Whether you are looking into crib bedding for your nursery, or as a baby shower gift for a friend, you can buy with confidence. Everyone loves giraffes and a giraffe-themed nursery will no doubt make a fun nursery. And knowing what is safe should help you shop with ease.

Why Toddler Travel Bed is Must For Single Mother

Toddler travel beds are becoming an increasingly popular child sleep aid for parents on the go or for kids who need a little extra comfort in an unfamiliar environment. Travel beds for toddlers serve as a safe alternative to a large, unknown sleeping area that a child may come across when staying in a hotel room during a vacation or spending the night at grandma's house. The versatility of toddler travel bed not only extends outside of the home, but also allows children to sleep safely while in a transitional bedding phase.

Toddler Bed Rail

Toddler travel bed is also a great way to accommodate a child who has outgrown the space of their crib, but is not yet big enough to spend their nights in a regular-sized bed. This convenient option also allows a parent to save money by bringing a travel bed into their home for a lower price rather than buying an "in-between" bed.

Toddler Bed Rail

When it comes to choosing a proper portable bed for a toddler, there are plenty of options to consider. To provide ample airy comfort that will send your little one soaring into dreamland, there are inflatable air mattress beds that allow children to drift quietly off to sleep. I suggest that new parents should have child's portable travel bed because it helps in many ways.

Sometimes a simple cot selection will also do for your toddler, while lightweight play yards have been known to serve as a safe and fun opportunity for sleep. Below are a few suggestions regarding different types of travel beds available for toddlers:

Portable Air Bed

Many parents have experienced the ease and uniqueness of having portable travel bedding in their possession. When one is filled with air, a helpful sleep aid is created for children who are traveling on vacation, visiting a friend's house, or would like to sleep in different parts of their own home. With raised edges (similar to a lifeboat), this bedding choice makes sure a safe night of slumber awaits your little one.

Many air mattress models come with an air pump (sometimes wireless, rechargeable, and/or hands free). Most air beds inflate in less than a minute. This option is so handy that it can even accompany toddlers on a camping trip and make taking a nap at their daycare center much more comfortable.

Peapod Travel Bed

To keep infants safe and secure, the Peapod Travel Bed is an inflatable mattress that offers a little extra in its design. Surrounded by a zipper pocket, the mattress is covered by a fold-down design that pops up and twists into a comforting shelter for your toddler. When placed into its compact position, the Peapod is easy to transport, as well as clean. The sleeping pad is washable and the entire unit can be used for both indoor and outdoor adventures. You know where to find it - toysrus.

Additional Information On Travel Bed Items

There are also different items on the market that allow parents to transform various bed sizes into a safe environment for a toddler to sleep in. For example, inflatable bed rails are easy to pack and are often fashioned to fit any twin bed. For a sturdier product, there are also toddler travel bedside rails that are small enough to pack in suitcases, yet large enough to alter beds that are incompatible with the size of a toddler.

Every parent should have a toddler travel bed as this is useful irrespective of you are traveling or not.

It is important to remember that when decorating your child's room, you should select furniture that will grow with them. A child's bedroom should also provide a safe environment to play and explore. Here are some suggestions from Heather B's on-line buying guide for children's room to help you plan the perfect backdrop that will encourage your child's growth and imagination. Toddler beds should be well-constructed, able to withstand wear-and-tear kid style. Most manufacturers follow or exceed standard practices that govern the making of children's furniture, particularly cribs and toddler beds. Beds should be height and age appropriate Make sure finishes are made of safe, lead-free, non-toxic materials Involve your child in the decorating process. You will want them to enjoy their sleeping quarters that is to their liking, and they will definitely love a room that they helped to decorate. When choosing a bed, making the transition from a crib to a regular bed, select a style that is close to the ground and has safety rails. Make regular inspections. Check from time to time that all bolts and screws are still tight and nothing has been broken. Repair or replace any damaged par
