Crib Safety Essentials
Every crib sold new in the US meets federal safety standards. When buying used, verify the crib was manufactured after June 2011 (when drop-side cribs were banned).
- Slat spacing must be less than 2 3/8 inches apart
- No drop sides — fixed sides only
- Firm, snug-fitting mattress with no gaps
- No decorative cutouts in headboard/footboard
Types of Cribs
Standard Cribs
Interior dimensions 28" x 52", fitting standard crib mattresses. Most convert to toddler beds.
Convertible Cribs (4-in-1)
Convert from crib → toddler bed → daybed → full-size bed. Higher upfront cost but can last through teen years.
Mini Cribs
About 25% smaller. Perfect for small nurseries or shared rooms. Use mini crib-specific mattresses only.
Safe Sleep Setup
Follow the ABCs of safe sleep: Alone, on their Back, in a Crib. Nothing else should be in the crib — no blankets, pillows, bumpers, stuffed animals, or sleep positioners.
