Used Baby Crib Safety

 By U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
  

 

Is Your Used Baby Crib Safe?

Before you put your baby to sleep in a used crib, check to be sure it's safe. A safe crib has --

  • A firm, tight-fitting mattress

  • No loose, missing, or broken hardware or slats

  • No more than 2 3/8" between the slats (about the width of a soda can)

  • No corner posts over 1/16" high

  • No cutout designs in the headboard or footboard


  • Check for product recalls


If your used crib isn't safe or is questionable, don't use it.
DESTROY IT.
IT COULD SAVE YOUR BABY'S LIFE!
