For the past few years, the whole world has been actively discussing baby boxes - cardboard boxes for babies used as a first bed.. Typically, such boxes come with a set of essentials for mom and baby: diapers, clothes, hygiene products and cosmetics.. It is believed that such a box is an ideal gift option for a future mother, because, despite its relative cheapness, it includes a maximum of things you need at first..

In Finland, the tradition of giving mothers such a dowry box has been brought to the state level: for more than 80 years, every woman who is in her fourth month of pregnancy has received such a box from the state for free.. Thanks to this initiative, Finland is confidently holding the first place in the list of countries best for giving birth and raising children.. But the whole world learned about the box-beds only a few years ago, when enterprising Finns decided to present such a gift to Kate Middleton, who had just given birth to Prince George.. The news that the great-grandson of the British Queen sleeps in a cardboard box has spread all over the world. A little later, the British Prime Minister admitted that his newborn daughter also sleeps in a cardboard box.. And it began: baby boxes began to win the hearts of mothers around the world, they began to be produced in other countries (though on a commercial basis).

Now children sleep in boxes in the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Canada, Europe and, from now on, in Ukraine. A few years after the appearance of children's boxes on free sale around the world, it became clear what a bed for a child is not only a trend. A cardboard box made of high-quality cardboard, equipped with an orthopedic mattress and a set of bed linen, not only is not inferior in quality and convenience to an ordinary baby crib, but in some moments even surpasses it:.

•it costs less than a traditional baby crib;

• it weighs much less than a regular crib, which means that it can be carried from room to room, taken with you on trips;

• it is one-piece, which means that the child will not be able to fall out of it or accidentally put a handle or a leg between the parts;

• the box is designed in such a way that the child could not roll over in it, and this significantly reduces the risk of suffocation during sleep - one of the most serious problems in the first months of life.

Of course, not all young parents are ready to exchange a classic crib for a cardboard box.. But having such a thing in the house is definitely worth it: it will become your indispensable assistant when traveling, when moving, or just when you have to move around the apartment with a baby - just put it in a convenient and lightweight box and go about your business. The child will be safe and in a good mood, because he is always there for you..
