Unique Baby Cribs

The standard square crib that has been around for years seems to be a thing of the past. Baby furniture manufacturers are now building more unique fashionable cribs for our babies nurseries. These unique cribs come in many different shapes, styles and colors. The downside for those wanting these unique cribs, is that most of them also come with a hefty price tag.

Round cribs came into fashion quite a few years ago. At first they didn't do so well sale wise, but the novelty of them caught on and now round cribs seem to be all the rage. Round cribs certainly add a certain elegance to most nurseries, but with so many styles to choose from, they can easily fit into any nursery decor. Most stores that sell baby furniture generally have a round crib or two on display, however you can find a large variety of round cribs on the Internet.

Mydesingernursery.com has an extremely large selection of round cribs. Greatbabyrooms.com and babyuniverse.com also have quite a few round cribs that you can choose from. The average price of these round cribs seems to be between $500 and $700, though you can also find discount round cribs on the Internet for a much lower price.

A round crib of course, requires a round crib mattress. Round crib mattresses are also sold in stores that sell round cribs. Round crib mattresses are generally much pricer than standard mattresses, but most are included in the price of your crib anyway.You should always make sure when buying your round crib mattress that it fits securely into your crib.

Round baby crib mattresses should fit like any other mattress and only allow you to fit about one finger between the mattress and the side of the crib. Also, make sure that your round crib meets the strict safety guidelines for crib construction. Make sure that the slats on your round crib are no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart.
