Cot for newborn twins
Choosing a cot is an important and responsible business. If you have twins, there is a special bed for newborns. If one kid can be laid with him at first, then with two children this option is unacceptable.
Requirements for cots
Everything related to newborns should be safe. This is especially true of beds in which the kids spend a lot of time. If you are buying cots for twins, then try to take into account all the requirements described below:

- The material of the base and frame must be strong enough. It is very important to choose environmentally friendly and fireproof models that have all the necessary certificates confirming this.
- All joints and small parts, whether metal, plastic or wood should be as polished as possible or covered with special soft linings.All this will help avoid cuts and skid, both for the twins, and for their parents.
- The bed should have an adjustable bottom. This function is very useful in operation, as it allows you to adjust the desired height for easy laying kids. The older the child becomes, the lower the bottom falls so that the baby cannot get out of the crib on his own.
- When choosing cots for small children, you should ask for documents in which it is written that this type of furniture complies with all sanitary standards.
Usually, a mattress can be purchased with a cot in a furniture store. Often, it comes with a pillow and a set of bed linen. It is very important that the children's mattress is made of natural fabrics and fillers.

They will also prevent the handles from protruding through the lattice wall.

Berths are connected by car type and are separated by a changing chest. It is very convenient that the side bars recline for each baby independently of each other.
Bed - Manege
