A fancy crib means nothing if your baby will be unsafe while using it. Below are some precautions you need to follow to ensure that the crib you choose will not harm your baby in any way.
The bars along the side of the crib should be spaced no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to prevent the baby from slipping through.
The crib shouldn’t have any cutouts on the headboard or footboard to prevent the baby from getting stuck.
The top of the crib rail should be at least 26 inches from the top of the mattress, and the mattress should be periodically lowered to prevent the baby from falling or climbing out of the crib.
The corner posts shouldn’t exceed 1/16th of an inch in height, as they may catch your baby’s clothing and cause injury.
