As a future Parent, do you keep up to date with the latest trends related to baby layette? Surely, more than once you have encountered a number of tips on not only the choice of a stroller, crib or a rocking chair, but also toys, the variety of which can make your head spin, right? One such item is certainly a crib carousel for Baby.

There is no doubt that a crib carousel is a useful gadget that will make the baby's time more pleasant, and at the same time will be an excellent stimulator of his development. When to buy the first carrousel for Baby and which model is worth betting on? About this you will read in my today's entry. I cordially invite all future and already present Parents of the youngest Kids to get acquainted with this topic.

Carousel for a baby - what role does it play?

What a universal carousel for a crib, stroller or car seat looks like, every Parent knows. No less, today's baby toy market offers such a diverse range of products, including carousels for Baby, that many Parents may not be up to date with the latest trends, but also with the recommendations of specialists. However, it is not the appearance itself - colors, shapes or sizes, but the functions of the crib carousel that I would like to mention.

Well, a carousel for an infant is a kind of toy that works already in the first weeks of our baby's life. On the one hand, it has a calming effect on the Child, on the other hand, it stimulates his development of both visual and auditory perception. The carousel for the crib is usually mounted about 20-30 cm above the Child's head, so it becomes something interesting for Him, which can occupy attention for a long time, and you as a Parent have a moment for yourself.

Types of carousels for the crib - what models are popular?

When choosing a crib for a child, many stores very often offer compatible accessories for it, including mattresses, bedding and even carousels. Interestingly, carousels for the crib are very often a product that Parents receive in the so-called "free of charge". This solution is intended to encourage the purchase of a particular model. From my own experience, however, I know that the purchase of a carrousel should be an individual choice of each Parent. For there are many interesting models on the market, offering more or less advanced features. MoMi, for example, offers the MoMi KIKI carrousel, which is characterized by subdued colors. MoMi KIKI has 4 sensory toys, which can also be used separately, and plays 6 melodies, including white noise.

 
Basically, however, baby carousels are divided into three basic types, which are detailed in terms of:

• place of suspension - carousels with attachment to a crib, travel crib, stroller
  
  
• the material from which they are made - wooden and plastic carousels
  
  
• the method of attachment - permanent attachment, temporary attachment.

What is sure to interest many Parents is the available functions in such toys. Here it is worth mentioning that plastic models are usually more extensive with toys made of other materials, such as textile. In addition, the carousel for a boy's and girl's crib can be equipped with a projector and a music box function, which makes them even more attractive.

 Wooden baby carousels look beautiful, but they are usually equipped only with toys and possibly a music box function. Such models lack a projector.

From when can a carousel be mounted to a crib?

Answering the question posed in the topic of my entry: a carousel for a crib is worth mounting around 3-4 weeks of the toddler's life. However, in order for such an attachment to make sense, it is advisable to choose a carousel in contrasting colors - black and white, which the Toddler catches best in the first weeks and months of life.
