Safety

The health and wellbeing of your baby's infant is dependent on the crib you select. You want to make sure that it meets the current safety standards, and is free from any dangers that could cause harm during sleep. It should be sturdy and well-constructed, without loose parts that might catch on clothing or pose the risk of choking. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly and use, and check the crib regularly for signs of wear or damage.

The first thing you need to check is the spacing between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches, to prevent your baby's head or legs from getting caught between them. You should also be able to easily reach and observe your baby in the crib. If you can't, the slats are too close together and need to be a bit wider.

Another aspect of the crib to be considered is the mattress support system. It must be adjustable to various heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the risk that your child will climb out of the crib when they begin to crawl.

Other safety features to look for include an upholstered sheet that fits the mattress in a secure way as well as an enduring and solid construction. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides could be hazardous for your child.

Last but not least, make sure the crib is placed away from windows and radiators, and that hanging items such as blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. Also, you should remove any items that could be the risk of choking like pillows or blankets. Be cautious when buying used cribs, as they may not be in compliance with current safety standards, or have been recalls.

Design

It is important to remember that cribs may appear similar, but must adhere to strict safety standards.
