I know a woman who lost her 6 month old to suffocation this year when an old drop side broke and squashed him between the rail and the bed.
Can i use a 30 year old crib.
Is not too old.
Just look up those safety standards to make sure it does fall within them such as how far apart the side bars are and such.
I m not comfortable with putting our children in such an old crib.
Old drop side cribs.
Regulations and crib standards have improved over time and a crib that is too old will not meet new safety standards see below for more information about safety standards.
After more than twenty recalls affecting more than 4 million cribs since 2007 cpsc created mandatory crib safety standards that included a ban on the manufacture of new drop side.
I don t even know why they think they need a nursery set up at their house they live 5 miles away.
My in laws have said they can t wait to unpack the old crib from the basement for our babies.
This wouldn t be for the babies room at our house.
No please don t use it.
But i wouldn t have an issue with a 30 year old crib that has been updated and made safe for baby according to todays safety standards.
Drop side cribs were all recalled many years ago.
With information on what drop side crib owners can do.
The cpsc voted unanimously to overhaul the rules governing crib safety in july 2010 the first such move in nearly 30 years.
