A crib is an essential part of every baby nursery. Baby cribs are
bedsteads that are designed for infants or toddlers, and have high
slatted or meshed sides. Cribs are often constructed of hardwood or
iron for beauty and durability, and are available in a variety of styles
and designs. Traditional rectangular cribs feature a mattress and
sleep area that is about 52 inches long by 28 inches wide; some parents
prefer a round crib or even a canopied crib for their newborn!
Whatever type of crib you select, it should be easy to operate and adjust.
When you order a baby crib, you can often select from natural or white
painted finishes. Smaller portable cribs can fold flat for storage
or travel, and many convertible cribs can be converted into toddler beds
or even full size beds as a baby outgrows the crib.
The crib should be strong and solid and should conform to rules that the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has set forth. Be sure to
check old or antique cribs for cutouts that could trap an arm or leg,
corner posts that could cause choking, or rails that are spaced more than
2 3/8 inches apart. Crib safety is an important concern, and you may
wish to read these Crib Safety Tips, published by the CPSC.
