Comparison Veres LD10 Mayatnik vs Gandylyan Lyudmila

The type of mechanism that provides rocking of the crib (if any — many models do not provide rocking).

— Skids. Such cribs are equipped with curved skids, similar to those used in rocking chairs. Standing on such skids, the crib is capable of rocking. If such a crib is equipped with wheels, they are made removable — usually the crib stands on the skids, and the wheels are installed when it needs to be moved or fixed to prevent it from rocking. Skids are the simplest and most reliable, but they also have their disadvantages: the baby turning in his sleep, will rock the crib, which can wake up himself; to fix the crib in a stable position, it is necessary to install wheels, which is very laborious and inconvenient. In addition, the skids are poorly combined with the floor, especially parquet and laminate, because they can damage it, and therefore put such cribs is best on carpeting.

— Pendulum. In such models, the base is fixed on the floor, and the rest of the crib, thanks to special hinges, can rock. For a longitudinal pendulum, the rocking goes along the crib, and for a transverse pendulum — across. There are also universal pendulums, the location of which is formed during assembly. Anyway, the pendulum mechanism has a lower risk of tipping if the baby...starts to rock the bed, in addition, the pendulum, unlike the skids, does not affect the floor covering. On the other hand, the pendulum mechanism is more complicated and somewhat less reliable.

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).

Possibility to remove the sidewall of the crib. The removable sidewall will come in handy when the baby is grown up enough to go to sleep and get up on his/her own and no longer needs fall protection. With the same purpose, such sidewalls are somewhat less convenient than opening sidewalls (see above), because the removed sidewall has to be stored somewhere. However, it is very difficult to equip a classic crib with an opening sidewall due to the lack of space, so removable ones have to be used.

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 country of origin of the brand under which the product is presented on the market. Often indicated by the nationality of the company or the location of its headquarters. However, the actual production capacity of the brand often differs from the country of origin.

It should be noted that the quality of products depends not so much on geography as on the organization of processes and quality control at all stages of production. Therefore, national prejudices about brands from certain regions are usually not supported by anything. It is only necessary to pay attention to the country of origin of a brand if the goal is to support or avoid a manufacturer from a particular country.
