In order to increase the berth for a growing child, the grate and chest of drawers are removed, after which the situation is updated, more free space appears.

In the morning, reverse actions are performed. A feature of this type of furniture is the presence of additional compartments, shelves on which you can place toys, accessories and books, the presence of built-in sockets and lights.

The lower part of such structures traditionally contains a desktop, shelves, drawers, modules designed to store things, the upper serves as a berth. Manufacturers of children's furniture also produce loft products, in which there are 2 beds located above and below.

A playpen from an ordinary berth is transformed into a play area for a developing baby. Many models are able to become a small house in which the child is psychologically protected, feels comfortable. Beds-playpens can be supplemented with a changing table, playing mat, music corner, wheels for comfortable movement around the room.

Bunk structures are an excellent choice for two children. These products are also relevant when there is enough space in the room for only one bed. A distinctive feature and advantage of such models is the ability to easily transform into two separate, compactly located berths.

The device of a 3-in-1 cot transforming bed allows the product to change in several versions. From a cradle for a newborn, she "turns" into a resting place for a grown child, and then to a desktop. 7-in-1 transforming beds are an interesting, practical solution that can take on the form of various home furnishings necessary for mother and baby:

Traditionally, such furniture has an attractive, colorful design that gives room for children's imagination.

Dimensions

Children's transformer beds most often have the following dimensions.

When choosing a convertible bed for a small apartment, you need to remember - the more functions of this piece of furniture, the more it will take up space. That is why in small rooms it may be difficult to place such structures. Manufacturers of modern transformer products provide the opportunity to adjust the beds to the individual needs of the child, thereby increasing the level of comfort in the children's room.

Materials

In the manufacture of children's beds-transformers, various materials are used as the basis:

• Wood;
• High quality plastic;
• Chipboard and fiberboard;
• Metal.

Wood products will be the best solution for newborns, as the body of infants is most sensitive to allergens. Wooden structures are environmentally friendly products without toxic impurities. A berth made of wood is distinguished by the ability to provide full oxygen access inside. Unpainted cherry or oak beds, which have increased strength and healing properties, as well as birch, aspen, and linden furniture are especially appreciated. Such products have an expensive, stylish appearance, delight the eye with a pleasant texture, and allow you to create a cozy home environment.

An important advantage of plastic products is their low weight, which provides simplified transportation. Beds made of fiberboard and particleboard are characterized by good stability. These, as well as plastic constructions, are suitable for older children. When choosing such furniture, it is important to familiarize yourself with the accompanying documentation to ensure its high quality, the absence of toxic impurities, and the harmlessness of the materials used. The most safe for the child’s body is considered products of trusted manufacturers, not capable of releasing toxic substances into the air.

Children's transformer beds made of metal often have a design fundamentally different from wooden products, or models made of chipboard. The advantages of a metal product are great stability, strength and a long period of operation. A prerequisite for a child's comfortable stay on the surface of such a bed is the presence of special covers on the backs and railings that prevent the delicate skin of children from touching cold metal.

You should not choose products that have any defects in the topcoat, for example, scratches, kinks, cracks or bumps. Any deformations are unsafe, as they can injure the delicate skin of the child. It is desirable that pastel colors prevail in children's furniture - too bright colors irritate the organs of vision, contribute to increased excitement.

Nuances of choice by age

Children's transformer beds should be selected taking into account the age, weight and physique of the child. For children under 7 years old, products with a width of not more than 60 cm are suitable. In order to provide enough sleep for the student, 80 cm is required. The width of the bed for a teenager is 90 cm or more.

To correctly calculate the length of the bed, you must use the special formula:

1. Add 20-30 cm to the growth of the child;
2. The resulting figure will be an indicator of the length of a berth necessary for a good rest.

For newborns, playpens are transformers, beds with pendulums and round structures. They can be used up to 1-3 years. When choosing a suitable design, it is important to pay attention to the handrails. It is common for growing children to try everything “on the tooth”, which is why products must be protected with special plastic profiles (rodents). If this part is missing, the risk of injury or splintering increases. The legs of the transformer must be fixed as firmly as possible. If wheels are built into the crib, they must be movable, have rubberized inserts that provide silent movement in the room.

Bunk products are traditionally chosen for older children - older than three years. Other models of transformers (beds with a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, a table, an attic, a 6-in-1 design) can be used much longer, until the child reaches the age of 12-16. At school age, models equipped with chests of drawers with wide and short drawers rather than narrow and long will become useful. If there is enough space, it is worth stopping the choice on this kind of transformer.

An important point is the correct selection of a mattress for a children's transformer bed. For newborns, orthopedic models are recommended, consisting of natural materials and having increased rigidity. For older children and adolescents, an independent spring unit will be a good solution, especially useful for disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Safety and Operating Rules

Operation of transforming beds does not require any special skills. However, it is necessary to comply with the recommendations of manufacturers of this type of furniture regarding its safe use:

• It is not recommended to entrust the folding of the product to children and adolescents under 16 years of age, persons with disabilities, persons under the influence of alcohol;
• Furniture should be transformed only in the absence of people, animals, foreign objects in the radius of potential movement, the location of its base and folding legs;

To remove impurities and maintain furniture in good condition, it is recommended to handle it with a vacuum cleaner. Dust can be successfully removed with a soft cloth, sponge or brush of low stiffness. If the product has removable coatings, it is advisable to resort to dry cleaning services to clean them.

It is recommended to install a transforming bed in a warm room with a normal level of humidity, adequate ventilation, and the absence of constant drafts. It is advisable to place the product in a meter or more from heating devices, window openings. During operation, drawers must be carefully pulled out and various parts removed, avoiding excessive pressure on them. The delicate handling of furniture will allow it to serve its owners for the longest possible time.
