If you are newly pregnant and just shopping for baby products, you may be unsure of what a "drop-gate" crib is and what it does, since it is unlike anything in the market. Here is everything you need to know:
A Drop-Gate crib is one in which the top 6-9 inches of the crib folds down. To operate you push in a finger latch on both the left and right side simultaneously, allowing the gate to fold down.
Added Safety
Since users must have an arm span the width of the crib to open or close the gate, Baby's Dream drop-gate design provides added safety by preventing small children from accessing the baby. Additionally, the gate itself has a beveled construction to prevent finger pinching. Many consider drop-gate designs safer than drop-side cribs (where the entire front frame moves up and down).
Easier Access
The extra room the gate provides parents to bend over into the crib is very helpful (up to 9 inches). Parents of all heights sometimes have difficulty putting a sleeping baby to bed on stationary models where it can sometimes be a very high side to bend over. Test out cribs when shopping, and envision when the mattress is at the lowest level and your baby is the heaviest if you will easily be able to reach. Many times shorter parents find drop-gates easier.
2-in-1 Functionality
The gate performs double duty by being used later on as the guardrail when converted to toddler bed. This could be a savings of up to $50 in some cases since there is no additional purchase required.
