The arrival of a baby brings many changes to daily life, many associated with family organisation. Many will change their car, which no longer suffices for 1, 2, or 3 children; others will move to a larger apartment or buy a house big enough for everyone in the family. Each family’s reality requires reorganisation of their daily lives. But one of the things future parents focus on is preparing the perfect room for their newborn. They will shop for hours to create a spot that is secure and practical for their little one.

In order to best respond to your questions, I found it important to speak to pros in the field, providing you with practical advice and better guiding your choices.
