Safety and ecology

The place where the baby sleeps should be comfortable and safe. There should be no sharp corners so that the baby cannot hit them.

Designs of beds are made of metal, plastic, chipboard. It is better to choose products from natural materials - solid birch, beech. They do not harm health, do not cause allergies. The coating should be smooth, non-toxic.
