The sides for the cots are different. They differ from each other in design, method of attachment and other parameters. Let us dwell on each of them.

All existing barriers for beds differ in their structure. These parts can cover the bed along the entire perimeter or only on the side sections. Completely closed options are ideal for hyperactive and very mobile kids. It is desirable to get the copies opened from two parties for newborns. Barriers are fixed. Such elements are an integral part of the bed. That is why, by giving preference to this option, you will surely save the young user from falling out of bed. Based on the design, the barriers can be either integral or have openings from two sides.

Also barriers for baby cots are removable. The main advantage of such parts is that it is permissible to fix them based on the location of the bedroom furniture.For these varieties, it is required to install additional niches into which the boards themselves then sink. Removable products are considered the most convenient to use, because they can be put aside at any convenient time. To do this, do not need extra effort. These options are both soft and hard. The last copies are perfect for cots that do not have restrictive barriers in their design.

For children of different sex different barriers are chosen. This is especially true for coloring selected parts. In this case, you should consider the floor of the baby, and other colors of the interior. So, bumpers for young gentlemen most often have such colors: blue, yellow, turquoise, brown or green. These details rarely have a motley and catchy color. Borders for girls have a different design. Such elements are often decorated with subtle and neat designs, as well as lace decorations. The color can be yellow, pink, coral or beige.

Limiters for baby cots vary in the way of direct fasteners. There are such varieties.

• Velcro. Such options are very convenient to use, because they fasteners are usually located above the rim, and not under it. However, giving preference to these products, it should be borne in mind that before washing they must be fastened to avoid sticking of foreign fibers.
• On ties The most reliable and safe are fasteners-strings that spread over the very side of children's furniture. As a rule, special rep ribbons are used for strings. From the satin options should be abandoned, because they are too easily untied.

Limiters for baby cots differ in the filler that is located in their inner part. These components of the furniture can be both dense enough and very soft. Usually, manufacturers choose materials such as fayber or synthetic winterizer as filling. Sinteponovy sides most of all are suitable for the smallest crumbs as they are softer. In most cases, these options go without covers. Wash them completely. As for the fayber, this material is more elastic.He easily maintains the correct form, and also softens the blows. This type of filling is quite suitable for children of any age.

Often, fibers of natural origin or good old foam rubber are chosen for filling the sides. If you have purchased a foam-filled barrier, then it is very important to make sure that an appropriate safety certificate is being carried with it. It is extremely rare for sale to find products filled with natural wool. Such products are very warm, but often provoke allergic reactions.

In the role of filler can be such a material as periotek. This is an innovative fiber that boasts hypoallergenic. Today, many manufacturers decide to fill the board with these raw materials. Periotek is a material of artificial origin that is seamlessly laundered. Another artificial filler is hollokon. Hologlok varieties of bedside walls have excellent heat resistance. Such products do not provoke allergic reactions, and are also resistant to wear and very flexible.

Barriers for baby cots can have different height settings.

• Tall. This type of bedside barrier can completely close the wooden rods of the bed itself. Such models effectively protect young users from the negative effects of drafts, as well as from impacts.
• Low. Such a limiter covers the bed bars only partially.

There are also special soft beds made of pillows. Such options may have a different thickness based on the volume of filler used. Children's beds with these components are very warm and cozy.

Enviable demand today is used for baby cots, made in the form of rollers. These parts are fixed in the same way as the pillows. They are addressed a little less often, because they do not protect the baby’s head so well from accidental bumps or falls. However, if the temperature in the room is quite high,such barriers provide fresh air intake.

As mentioned earlier, the sides of cots should be periodically sent to the wash. This will extend their lifespan, as well as protect young users from dust and dirt. Experts recommend to wash these parts when changing clothes 1 time in 2 weeks. Based on the specific type of filling you need to choose a specific washing option - manual or in the car. Models made of material such as foam, it is permissible to wash in a delicate mode in a typewriter. If the board is made of padding polyester, then it is better to wash it yourself - manually.

As mentioned earlier, the choice of quality barriers for children's beds, it is important to approach the most carefully and deliberately. The following primary criteria should be taken into account.

• Material production and filling. The protective rim must be made of environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic material that will not adversely affect the health of the child. As for the filler, foam rubber or synthetic winterizer is most often chosen here.
• Colour. You should not get too bright and saturated partitions with variegated patterns and images. These components will have a bad effect on the fast falling asleep of a young user. It is advisable to pick pastel copies.

But do not forget that the filling of foam rubber dries much longer than the product from synthetic winterizer.

It can be seals, hares, chanterelles and small charming deer. Such parts are often made by hand. The result is very interesting and cute ensembles.It is possible to add a crib side in the form of a soft cushion. This may be not only a simple detail of a rounded shape, but also a more original model, made in the form of a dragon, dinosaur or crocodile lying in bed. Such interesting rollers are best suited for cots owned by little boys. For girls fit figures in the form of unicorns or cats.

Children's beds can be added with the sides with the rigid basis and a soft roundish top on top. Similar pieces of furniture are suitable for preschool children.
