What are the advantages and disadvantages of a car bed

Structurally, such children's furniture is an ordinary bed, but with a solid figured sidewall, which carries an additional function - a protective one.

bed with curly side — Usually the furniture is a bed with a curly sidewall.

In fact, the upper part plays the role of a side that prevents the baby from falling to the floor in a dream.

baby bed car with sidewall — The sidewall prevents the child from falling out of bed.

Advantages:

I like children very much, especially boys (but there are also "girl" models).
Aesthetics. The bright car will harmoniously fit into the colorful interior of the children's room.
Protection against falling of the child in a dream.
Most of the models are inexpensive. Especially made of laminated chipboard.

Illuminated car beds have another advantage - additional lighting of the sleeping area.

baby bed with green light — The backlight gives the bed an extra night light function.

The main disadvantage: the complexity of the repair in case of breakdown. If the baby breaks or damages the side structure, most likely the bed will have to be changed completely. Or order a separate curved panel from the manufacturer.

replacement of the side structure of the bed machine — In the event of a breakdown of the side structure, it will have to be replaced.

If the product is initially advertised as "an author's project, there are no analogues" and has already been discontinued, then it is almost impossible to find a replacement.

baby car bed repair — If the car is not standard, it will be difficult to repair it.

Materials from which are made

The materials for making the frame are the same as for other beds: solid wood, chipboard / laminated chipboard, MDF, metal (aluminum alloy tubes, wrought iron).

baby car bed material — Furniture material is mainly wood and its derivatives.

A typical sidewall that performs aesthetic and protective functions is most often made of chipboard. Thematic design is a sticker drawing on a durable self-adhesive Oracal film. The image can also be applied with paint on a stencil.
