Also, you should remove any items that might pose a choking hazard, such as pillows or blankets. Be careful when purchasing used cribs, as they may not be in compliance with current safety standards, or have been recalls.

Design

More parts can lead to more confusion, so we suggest selecting a crib with simple instructions to minimize frustration.
