Pinnasängys

Pinnasängys is a type of crib designed to prevent infants and young children from falling out of bed. Its primary feature is a set of upright bars, or "slats," that surround the sleeping area, creating a protective barrier. These slats are typically spaced closely enough to prevent a child from getting their head or limbs stuck between them.

The design of pinnasängys has evolved over time to improve safety and functionality. Early versions might have been simpler wooden structures, but modern pinnasängys are often made from various materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. They usually come with adjustable mattress heights, allowing parents to lower the sleeping surface as the child grows and becomes more mobile. Many also feature a drop-side rail, which can be lowered to make it easier to lift a sleeping baby in and out of the crib.

Pinnasängys are a common piece of nursery furniture in many parts of the world, widely used to provide a secure sleeping environment for infants. Regulations and safety standards exist in various countries to ensure that pinnasängys meet specific criteria for slat spacing, structural integrity, and the absence of small parts that could pose a choking hazard. Parents are advised to follow assembly instructions carefully and to check for any wear or damage to the crib regularly to maintain its safety.
