With all of the things that you will have to provide for when planning for the coming of a child, necessary accommodations for the future can seem to call by the wayside. As an expecting parent, you’ll have to plan for things like a crib and a dresser along with a set of other nursery furnishings, as well as planning to pick up clothing for growing children along with countless other things you will have to look for.

Of course, when it comes to planning for a bed for your nursery, you’ll probably have to start out with a crib. If you are a first time parent, this very well may mean picking up the first crib, and as with many others, you may have never shopped for a crib a day in your life. Unless you are lucky and have doting friends or relatives with hand me downs or deep pockets, you’ll be shopping for your first crib in short order.

Shopping for a crib is going to be time consuming enough. You want to make sure you pick up a rock solid crib with as few moving parts as possible, and one that has as many safety features incorporated as practical. You’ll want one with no sharp corners and finished with non toxic paint, for example. There’s a lot to know about the affair, which can overshadow everything that will come after.

Yet, in the life of a person, in the life of even a small child, the amount of time spent sleeping in a crib is comparatively small. As children grow - and they grow fast - they will quickly outpace the accommodations of a crib, and you will soon be looking for other options for beds.

One configuration you should consider is a High Loft Bed. There are plenty of reasons to love a high loft bed, as well as a few things you should keep in mind when shopping for one.

The first is that a high loft bed should have some safety features built into it, especially if you plan on making it the design of the room of a relatively young child. A loft is still above the ground and the risk of a fall must be mitigated wherever possible, so many lofts feature guard rails or even gates.

As long as the loft or bunk bed you’re interested in meets certain safety standards and in addition to being finished with non toxic products, then you can reap the benefits of serious space saving. A high loft bed can open up a room for a child’s imagination to grow, for extra space for playtime or for extra storage room for you. Plus, if there are more children on the way, it will offer the extra room necessary for another baby.
