How to assemble a pendulum bed

The birth of a child is always a great joy in the family, but everyone who has gone through this knows well how important it is to prepare for the arrival of a child from the hospital. One of the elements of such preparation is the purchase and assembly of a crib. Many young mothers say they were very pleased with the pendulum crib. What is this piece of furniture and why is it needed?

Why is she needed

Young mothers know how hard it is to get up in the middle of the night and rock the baby again. With such a bed, motion sickness is much better. Thus, the two functions of the bed are combined - this is a sleeping place and motion sickness.

Important to remember! That there are pendulums that have their own direction of motion.

There are 3 main areas:

• transverse
• longitudinal
• universal.

Although transverse pendulums are most commonly used, doctors argue that longitudinal pendulums are more useful.

What a pendulum bed consists of

Usually, this piece of furniture is sold unassembled and the buyer will have to assemble it on their own. What elements does the pendulum bed consist of?

• Wireframe. It usually consists of a back and front cover, which are connected by side panels. Usually this element is made of quality wood, varnished.
• Bed bottom. Most often it is also made of high-quality moisture-resistant plywood, and also varnished. At the bottom is a children's mattress, which can go in the kit or not, depending on the configuration.
• Pendulum mechanism. An important component of the crib-pendulum, without which it turns into an ordinary crib. The swing mechanism has high-quality ball bearings, providing silence and smooth swing. Typically, the manufacturer provides the swing mechanism assembly. In addition, there is a special stopper that stops the swing mechanism.

Step-by-step instructions on how to assemble a pendulum crib

The first thing to do is to study the assembly instructions provided by the manufacturer. Next, we check the availability of components and tools necessary for assembly.

Important to remember! It is best to collect the pendulum cot in the children's room, so that later it does not carry through doorways, where it may not go.

Assembly must be done in turn:

1. First, we assemble the bed frame.
2. Then insert the bottom into it.
3. We fix the pendulum mechanism to the leg of the support and the leg of the bed.
4. If drawers and shelves are provided for in the design of the crib, then we attach them to the bed body.
5. We test the swing mechanism.

It is not difficult to assemble a crib. To do this, it is important to carefully consider the assembly instructions and precisely follow its instructions.
