Can I Use A 30 Year Old Crib

I m not comfortable with putting our children in such an old crib.

Can i use a 30 year old crib.

I wouldn t use a 30 year old mattress. This wouldn t be for the babies room at our house. Old drop side cribs. 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.

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. 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. Is not too old.

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. 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. No please don t use it.

Drop side cribs were all recalled many years ago. The cpsc voted unanimously to overhaul the rules governing crib safety in july 2010 the first such move in nearly 30 years.
