While shopping for nursery furniture there are many options available. Probably the most important item on your list is your baby’s crib. Modern nursery furniture sets are available in many different non-toxic wood finishes such as cherry, birch, espresso and white. Solid hardwood and metal finishes are also available, but are more expensive. It is important to consider the finish and quality of the furniture as many items can be used as your baby grows up. For example many of the most popular baby cribs can be transitioned into a toddler bed and later into a twin bed.

Mini Baby Crib

With all of the necessary nursery items, such as a crib, a changing table, and dresser, limited space can be taken up quickly. A popular new option is the mini baby crib. It is smaller than a traditional crib, but still has the benefit of being transitioned into a toddler bed, by adding bed rails and a new mattress when your child grows out of the crib. Most popular nursery sets offer the mini crib as space and money saving alternative. Mini cribs require special sheets and bumper pads to fit the smaller mattress. Mini crib bedding is easy to find in most large retailers and specialty stores such as Babies R Us or on-line. Popular nursery décor options for mini cribs include fitted sheets, bumper pads, coordinating quilts and blankets. Some of the most popular brands include Carters, American Baby Company and Lambs & Ivy.
