Baby dressers may not be the most exciting purchase that we make when
outfitting the baby's nursery, but let's take a minute to see what's available
and what style of dresser is the best kind for your baby's room. As far as
looks are concerned; you will want your dresser to blend with the other pieces
of baby furniture in your room. If you want an exact match of a particular wood finish,
drawer pulls or if your baby furniture came from a unique collection, buying
the entire set at one time may be the best way to proceed.
Even if you have plans to buy baby tables, dressers and all the pieces you
need at the same time, you should examine all the available features that each
manufacturer has to offer. Most collections offer several different designs in
dressers. There is your traditional chest of drawers which usually has
four drawers with an overall height of approximately 40 inches.
Then there are
the combo style of dressers that can pull double duty as a changing table
dresser combo and three drawer chests or dressers that have a slightly taller tower
to the side.
The changing table baby dresser combos are very popular with all consumers and
is an especially wonderful space saving option for moms working to get as much
storage as they possibly can within a relatively small nursery. You can also find baby cribs with attached dressers so that you can scoop baby up, change a wet diaper and slip them back onto the crib mattress without ever waking baby out of a peaceful sleep!
The baby changing table and dresser combo is exactly what it sounds like; the baby
furniture manufacturers came up with stylish, modern combinations of changing
tables and dressers. Basically what we have here is baby changing tables
with drawers instead of open shelves. Open shelving is fine for storing baby's
bath products and extra diapers. Drawers will get all of the toiletries out of
sight plus there's room for folded baby clothing ready for a quick change and
you can do all this and never leave your baby's side. You can get them to match your sleigh cribs, traditional baby cribs or practically any style of modern crib that you may want.
These wood dressers are made up of three roomy drawers with a soft foam
changing pad on top. Years ago a mom might have put a folded blanket on top of a
low wooden dresser and made her own combination baby changing table dresser combo, but
now that's all been done for us and there are some nice safety features thrown
in for good measure.
Dressers for babies should include an attached safety strap or belt and safety rails
on the front and back of the dressers if they are to be used to change
baby's diapers. You can never have too many safety features included with your
baby gear! Consider outfitting all of the drawers in your dresser and
elsewhere in your home with easy to use safety latches.
Baby proofing your dresser drawers is a great idea because we can do
without dealing with pinched fingers! Baby proof baby dressers and other nursery furniture by attaching the furniture to the walls using special baby
safety hardware so that heavy furniture won't be likely to fall on baby when he
or she gets mobile and begins to climb. Install the baby dresser drawers so
that they have to be picked up in a special way before they can be removed from the dresser. This will help make the nursery furniture safer as your child won't be able to easily remove the drawers that might fall
on his head! The general rule of thumb is safety first, baby whether dealing
with baby dressers or any other kind of baby stuff!
