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.
Can i use a 30 year old crib.
I m not comfortable with putting our children in such an old crib.
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.
Is not too old.
This wouldn t be for the babies room at our house.
If the older crib you were hoping to use is a drop side crib you should know about the warnings relate to the safety of this style of cribs.
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.
My in laws have said they can t wait to unpack the old crib from the basement for our babies.
Drop side cribs were all recalled many years ago.
Old drop side cribs.
No please don t use it.
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.
I don t even know why they think they need a nursery set up at their house they live 5 miles away.
Also cribs that have been assembled disassembled and reassembled over time may have worn out hardware which can loosen making the crib unsafe.
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.
