Crib Buying Guide

Don't buy vintage cribs. A lot has changed since we were babies, let alone since our parents or grandparents were still in the cradle. That means that you should buy a new crib, not a used one, no matter how much relatives want you to know that they slept in that crib and ended up fine. According to the CPSC, used cribs can be deadly.

Aside from the expected deterioration of old furniture, factors that make old cribs hazardous include cutouts that can trap baby's head, limbs, or clothing; lead paint (babies love to chew, plus lead paint has a famously sweet flavor); splinters and chipped paint; and unsafe construction details, such as inappropriately spaced slats, drop sides, and decorations that can be choking hazards.

Wedges, bumpers, and positioners should not be used. Crib bumpers are more of a risk to your baby than crib slats. Positioners are meant to keep your baby from rolling, but they're a suffocation hazard. Research does not support that crib wedges reduce baby's acid reflux or that they're even safe'and they, too, may be suffocation hazards.

It all sounds pretty scary, but just remember: Your baby is a minimalist, so keep that crib bare.

Check the crib hardware regularly. When you're putting your crib together for the first time, make sure it has every piece. If it doesn't, contact the brand for more parts. Bolts, nails, and screws can wiggle loose with time, so check the hardware whenever you change the sheets. If you need to make repairs yourself, only use hardware provided by the manufacturer, if possible.

Carefully inspect vacation cribs. If you're staying at a friend or family member's home with your baby or using the crib provided by a hotel or vacation rental, check that the slats are in the correct spacing. Crib slats should be spaced less than 2 ' inches apart, so if you can fit a can of soda between them, you know it's too big of a gap. Better yet, look up the make and model of the crib in use to make sure it hasn't been recalled. Give the crib a light shake to listen for rattling that could mean loose bolts or screws. And be sure to position the mattress at the appropriate level for your child's age.
