Why Crib Safety is Important

Why Crib Safety is Important

A properly constructed crib has: Less than 2.375 in. (60 mm) of space between slats. This prevents a child's head from becoming trapped. No cutout designso or spaces if there is an otherwise solid headboard or footboard. A child's head, hands, arms, or legs can get stuck. No corner posts. Clothing can attach to these posts and injure or strangle a child. Tight and secure screws, bolts, and other construction materials.  Check these parts every week. A physically active child can loosen these parts, and the crib can collapse. Lead-free paint. Older cribs may have paint that has lead in it.  Babies can get lead poisoning from chewing and gnawing on a crib with lead-based paint.   According to Kaiser Permanente.  See article here.

 

"At Nestie Luxury Baby, we ensure that our items undergo GreenGuard testing and receive baby certification and approval. Every product used to create our cribs has undergone safety testing, including the wood and paint materials."1 If you’re looking for cribs that meet these standards, it’s essential to choose ones made from 100% solid wood, such as pine or solid poplar wood, and finishes that are non-toxic. These cribs are not only safe for your baby but also environmentally friendly. Keep in mind that safety certifications like GreenGuard Gold provide peace of mind for parents, knowing that their little one is sleeping in a healthy environment.2 If you’re in the market for a crib, consider checking out the Nestie Luxury Baby collection for beautifully crafted and safe nursery furniture. 😊
