Congratulations! You have just learned that you are having a baby. Whether this is your first or not you need to look at cribs. Do you have one already? Is it an antique? A second hand crib whether antique or not needs to be carefully looked at. This is for the safety of your new baby.

The screws, bolts, and/or other fasteners should all be in place. Are they loose? Will the position of the mattress hold under your baby’s weight? It is imperative that this be tested before you put your baby in the crib. Take something that approximates the weight of your baby at about 4 months old. Bounce it off the mattress to be certain it will hold its position. If it doesn’t it could cause serious injury to your baby or worse.

When setting up the nursery (if it isn’t already up) consider very carefully where you will place the crib. If you place the crib near a window and you have Venetian blinds, either shorten the cords or anchor them somewhere that your baby can’t reach and get a hold of them. If it all possible avoid placing the crib near the window. As your baby grows into a toddler and s/he attempts to climb out of the crib; s/he could possibly fall which could cause serious injury to your baby.

The crib is where your baby will spend a lot of their time and you want to be sure they are safe. Below are some of the questions (with the answers) that are asked about crib safety. Topics such as mattress position, how to place your baby in the crib, and general safety standards are discussed, as are other issues. If you need further information you can search the Internet and visit baby furniture stores.

Q. Are there safety standards for baby cribs?

Yes there are some very exact standards for your baby’s crib. In 1974 it was made law that cribs should no longer be painted with lead based paint. It was discovered that the ingestion of lead (from any source) could cause learning disabilities and other difficulties in young children. The slats of the crib must be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart, this is to prevent your baby from getting his body or head stuck between the bars causing injury or strangulation. The side bar should be 26 inches above the mattress when it is in its lowest position. If your child is more than an inch taller than the sidebar it is time to move him into a regular bed.

A baby crib mattress may well be a more important purchase than the crib itself. Your little one will need a durable, firm, and safe surface for a snug sleeptime routine. An expensive crib is of little use, unless take care when choosing the baby crib mattress.

Sizing of baby crib mattresses are fairly standard, but take the necessary measurements along to ensure a snug fit in the crib. It is vital to make sure that the mattress is firm. If there is too much give, it can present a safety hazard.

Most manufacturers of baby crib mattresses offer you a choice of foam, or coil products. A foam mattress is light, yet firm. Changing the sheets are often easier with a lighter mattress. A coil mattress can be more durable, and will continue to provide a firm surface for a growing child. Your budget, and personal taste will be the determining factors in your choice.
