From the very beginning of your child's life, products must be selected with safety in mind. One of the most important pieces of nursery equipment is a safe crib.
More infants die each year in accidents involving cribs than with any other nursery product.
Saw off excess corner posts so that they are flush with the headboard. Corner post extensions can be a catchpoint for children's necklaces or cords around the neck. Never use a crib that has missing slats. Use a mattress which fits snugly. If you can fit more than two fingers between the edge of the mattress and crib side, the mattress is too small.
