It can be very dangerous to use a crib canopy. Most crib beds come without one, and they are intended to be that way. Some parents might feel it looks cute etc. However, there have been several cases where babies have been entrapped, and it has resulted in strangulation when they use it to climb outside the baby bed. So, no matter how appealing it looks, don‘t use one for your baby‘s safety. You can surely use it for your kid‘s beds once they are older. This one is perfect for older kids, say 4+ years and above. They are aware of how to get in and out of their bed without an issue.
