Comparison Oris Marica vs Geoby LM604S

The type of crib base design.

— Slatted. It consists of a set of cross slats on which the mattress is placed. This construction is resistant to dampness, which, for obvious reasons, occurs in the crib regularly — moisture is not retained in the crib itself, it is enough just to dry the mattress. Also, the slatted design improves air circulation, which is very important for the comfort of the baby. On the other hand, the strength of the slatted crib is somewhat lower than a solid.

— Solid. It is a solid surface. Solid bases are more durable, but less convenient for drying (see above).

The design of the end walls of the crib.

— Slatted. As the name implies, they consist of vertical slats. The advantage of such a design is that you and your baby can see each other, hang various toys; in addition, the slats can be used as supports for the baby to sit down or stand up. On the other hand, in such cribs the baby is exposed to draft, so for slatted end walls special fabric walls are produced, which can be installed as protection.

— Solid. Such walls do not have openings, slats, etc., and therefore do not allow you to see the baby — on the other hand, they provide the best protection against draft.

— Slatted/solid. This may refer to two options. The first is when one wall is solid and the second is slatted or with large openings. In this way, the design combines the graceful appearance of a slatted wall with additional protection against draft. The second option — when part of the wall is made solid, and part is made in the form of slats. This design is used for aesthetic reasons, but in practical terms it does not differ from a conventional slatted wall.

— Mesh. End walls in the form of frames covered with a fine mesh. Compared to slatted walls, such walls provide somewhat better protection against draft and at the same time allow the parent and baby to see each other. On the other h...and, such a wall is not suitable as an additional support for a baby.

The type of sidewalls of the crib.

— Slatted. They consist of vertical slats, for more details on the advantages and disadvantages of this design, refer to "Endwalls".

— Solid. A solid surface with no recesses or holes. For more information on the advantages and disadvantages of this design, refer to "Endwalls".

— Mesh. This wall is a frame with a mesh installed in it. It provides slightly better protection against drafts than a slatted wall; on the other hand, it is poorly suited as a support for the baby. It is used rather rarely, usually when it is difficult to install slats.

— Slatted/solid. This means that one sidewall is solid and the other is slatted. Such a crib is usually placed with a solid sidewall against the wall. Thus, parents can see the baby through the front wall, the baby can use the slats as a support for standing up, and the solid back wall protects it from drafts and contact with the wall.

— Solid/mesh. Solid walls, usually made of dense fabric, supplemented with mesh inserts. These inserts are designed to improve ventilation and to allow parents to see the baby better.

The ability to open the sidewall of the crib. At a very young age, when the baby is not independent and needs protection against falling, this sidewall is kept closed, and when the baby is old enough to lie down and get up on its own, the sidewall can be opened and left as it is. Many convertible cribs are equipped with such a sidewall (refer to "Type"); in classic cribs, removable sidewalls play a similar role (see below).

The presence in the design of the crib of a special changing table for small children, which eliminates the need to purchase a separate changing board.

Availability in a set of delivery of a bed of own mattress. In addition to the fact that you do not have to buy a mattress separately, this option is good because it saves you from problems with choosing a mattress — the complete one will fit perfectly in size.

The presence of a drawer or basket near the bed (usually located under the bottom). Most often, such elements are used to store bed linen, but clothes, toys, etc. can also be stored there. (although if you want to store a lot of things next to the bed, you should pay attention to models with a chest of drawers). Sometimes there can be several drawers for linen.

The latches are designed to block the rotation of the wheels of the bed and prevent it from moving — for example, if a nearby baby tries to climb onto the bed or grab to stand up, the bed without latches can move, which is fraught with unpleasant consequences.

The presence in the design of the bed of its own chest of drawers. A chest of drawers differs from a linen box (see below) in volume and number of compartments and allows you to store clothes, toys, etc. in addition to bed linen.
