A new parent has to worry about a huge amount of things that (s)he will be likely be facing for the first time.
There are diapers to change, feedings to schedule, shot records and well-baby visits to keep track of, laundry to do and bottles to sterilize.
Before any of this can be accomplished, though, one of the first jobs of a prospective parent is considering what kind of bed to get for your new arrival to your family.
Older, family hand-me-downs are often passed from one generation to another, but if you are looking for something more updated for your little one, there is any number of newer models available on the market today.
The first important quality a new baby crib offers is a more modern look and style that a parent will discover is simpler to fit into current decoration motifs than some of the older, outdated ones that a family member may be trying to pass on.
Many times these older cribs are more ornately carved and/or heavily decorated than a cleaner, newer choice.
If the baby's sleeping area is decorated in a cleaner design style like contemporary, an older baby crib will be harder to integrate into the decorating scheme.
The second most important quality of a new baby crib is the nearly limitless choice of colors and stains available to prospective parents, allowing them to seamlessly match and fit into almost any style of room décor.
This makes things so much easier when the prospective mom or dad doesn't have to waste the time and effort to spare a moment out of an already busy schedule to paint and refurbish the old baby crib.
By purchasing a crib that already is manufactured in the color or stain desired, in many cases all that has to be done is move the crib into the desired location.
For those with a more mechanical aptitude, assembling a kit is all that would need to be done.
The third top quality of a modern baby crib is that unlike older, single purpose baby cribs, many of the modern styles and models on the market today expand into toddler beds, allowing it to grow along with the child.
As the child ages, one or more of the side rails can be removed to allow the child to crawl into the bed unaided.
The fourth and final top quality of a modern baby crib is the high quality of the hardware used in manufacture and the sturdiness of the crib's construction.
Older models become worn over time, making them more fragile and less likely to hold up under the use and wear an active baby can put the crib through.
