The type of mechanism that provides rocking of the crib (if any — many models
do not provide rocking).
—
Skids. Such cribs are equipped with curved skids, similar to those used in rocking chairs. Standing on such skids, the crib is capable of rocking. If such a crib is equipped with wheels, they are made removable — usually the crib stands on the skids, and the wheels are installed when it needs to be moved or fixed to prevent it from rocking.
Skids are the simplest and most reliable, but they also have their disadvantages: the baby turning in his sleep, will rock the crib, which can wake up himself; to fix the crib in a stable position, it is necessary to install wheels, which is very laborious and inconvenient. In addition, the skids are poorly combined with the floor, especially parquet and laminate, because they can damage it, and therefore put such cribs is best on carpeting.
—
Pendulum. In such models, the base is fixed on the floor, and the rest of the crib, thanks to special hinges, can rock. For a
longitudinal pendulum, the rocking goes along the crib, and for a
transverse pendulum — across. There are also
universal pendulums, the location of which is formed during assembly. Anyway, the pendulum mechanism has a lower risk of ti
...pping if the baby starts to rock the bed, in addition, the pendulum, unlike the skids, does not affect the floor covering. On the other hand, the pendulum mechanism is more complicated and somewhat less reliable.Beds decorated with
rhinestones(imitation of jewels). This decision does not affect the possibilities of cribs, however it gives them a rich appearance, and therefore is often used in elite class models. And especially for girls.
