The safety of cribs has come particularly into question in past years, primarily due to the fact that tragic accidents that have been the result of unsafe crib usage. Many of the cribs in question were manufactured and purchased prior to 1989, before a standard for crib safety was implemented.
While it is safe to assume that cribs made after this date were built with adherence to the guidelines, there are still some risks that you could be taking with the safety of your newborn. The reason is that most of these baby beds will come to your home in a box in various pieces with a message on the crate stating, "Assembly required." Who will be doing the assembling? Why, the proud expectant parents, of course!
Following the Baby Crib Instructions
The manufacturer is making the assumption that the assembler of the crib will follow the baby crib instructions in accordance to the assembly of the crib. That is why it is so important to put together your newly purchased furniture with special care and to follow every single detail of the baby crib instructions that were included with your purchase.
For example, a crib mattress is only as secure as the mattress support. Therefore, you need to make certain that you place the support into your crib absolutely correctly, and that you tighten every screw and bolt before your precious child ever sees the inside of those slats. Take special care to check over your pieces to make sure you are not missing a single part and that every piece of hardware is in good condition.
The baby crib instructions will also give you valuable information about whether it is safe to raise your mattress into the higher position, when it is okay to lower it, and how to clean and care for your purchase, for instance. There may also be other important information with your baby crib instructions, such as the safest location in the room to place the crib, and how to handle the question of safely including baby bedding and accessories.
Once you have successfully assembled your baby's crib, you should remember to keep the instructions in a safe place so that if you ever need a replacement part, you can order one directly from the manufacturer.
If you are a deal seeker, you can safely buy a second hand crib with a little bit of knowledge tucked away in your belt. However still remember to make sure that any baby crib includes the original instructions and a label that tells you the date that the crib was manufactured. Any crib made after 1989 will have been built according to the safety standards that went into effect that year.
Your new little one will spend plenty of time in his new bed. It is important to make sure that the time spent is safe for your child.
