Finding the best dresser for your baby’s nursery isn’t always as easy as it sounds. You’re likely considering style, safety, size, and whether the dresser matches the rest of the nursery. If you’re trying to maximize space and find a dresser that doubles as a changing table, you have an additional challenge on your hands.
Not to worry! This guide will help you understand what to look for in a dresser to make sure your storage, safety, and style needs are met. Read on for our quick tips.
Our 3 Tips on How to Pick the Right Nursery Dresser
1. Consider Size and Dimensions
Measure your nursery and the space you’ve allotted for the dresser, then compare it to the dressers you’re considering. There are a few things to keep in mind with dimensions:
- If you’re adding a changing mat to the top of your dresser, you’ll need about a dresser that’s about 20 inches wide.
- The bigger the dresser, the more storage space you’ll have for clothes and other essentials.
- If you have a closet or other storage, you may want a smaller dresser to save on floor space.
2. Check for Anti-Tip Safety Features
It’s hard to imagine your tiny newborn growing into a curious, crawling toddler, but it will happen before you know it! With this in mind, it’s important to get a dresser with anti-tip safety features. Ideally, look for a dresser that:
- Has front elevation.
- Includes pre-installed safety straps for anchoring to the wall.
- Has passed weighted strap testing.
- Features locking mechanisms that allow only one drawer to open at a time.
