In the journey of the baby from cradle to
crib, he/she is often greeted by a Rocking chair. It plays an important role in
the nurturing of buddies. That's the reason many pediatricians recommend this
amazing furniture piece for nurseries. So, while ordering one, take in to
account the following factors which make your investment fruitful.
Seat & Comfort
As Rocking chairs are intended to provide a
suitable seating place, choose the one which has supportive attributes.
Parents/Caretakers need to hold the baby in
the rocking chair until he/she got adjusted to it. Wide arm rests help parents
to rest their hands on them while holding their loved ones. And also the rocker
should offer back support as well as head support which enables the baby to
shift positions. The seat padding material should be skin-friendly and soft.
So, the different kinds of baby rockers should be comfortable to both baby and
parent/caretaker.
Frame
The frame should be sturdy as it needs to
support the baby. Generally, the frame is made of metal or wood. Wooden ones
are too heavy for the baby's capacity. Frames made of metals are good to use.
They are weightless and attractive. There should be blunt edges and parts to
avoid any injuries. The frame determines the bounce rate and portability of the
rocker. To save space, choose a rocker which can be folded and stored, when not
in use.
To make it fit for outdoors, choose the one
which is painted with a weather-resistant finish.
Features
Contemporary Rockers come with variousfeatures.
Thematic Rockers are widely purchased
furniture. Cartoon themed or car themed Rockers are eye-catching.
To soothe the baby, manufacturers are
coming with inbuilt music players where mothers can play rhymes and pleasant
music to calm down their little ones.
Vibrating rockers can drift the baby to
sleep and avoid sleepless nights to parents. The gentle vibrations provide more
comfort to the baby.
To entertain the baby, choose a rocker with
colorful lights but make sure that the lighting will not annoy the baby.
To cut costs, look for a rocker which can
be converted to a chair. The bottom part of the rocker has to be changed in
order to transform the nature of the rocker.
Shoppers can also find electric rockers
which can run on battery power or plug-in power.
Maintenance
Babyhood witness diaper overflow and
drools. Many parents find it difficult to clean the padding material. Choose
the one which is washable and can absorb the wetness from the baby's skin as it
leads to rashes.
Safety
The safety is the important thing which has
to be considered. The rocker should comply with the safety standards of the
country. Generally, they will be bouncing all the time. So, look for the one
which is coupled with secure straps. The height and the weight of the baby have
their say in the selection of the rocker. Choose a mat for a baby rocker to
avoid accidents on slippery surfaces and also it should be placed in a flat
area. Use it in accessible areas where everyone in the family can monitor the
baby's activity. Place it away from hazardous areas. By referring manuals,
select a Baby rocking chair which matches the profile of the baby.
