How Do You Ensure Safe Use Of A Baby Crib?
A baby crib is the only place you will ever consider leaving your baby unattended. So it’s very important to assemble the crib carefully, monitor it closely, and maintain it regularly. • Assemble the crib properly. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions very carefully when assembling the crib. Baby cribs are manufactured to conform to strict safety standards. Assembling the crib incorrectly may void your warranty. More importantly, incorrect or careless assembly could endanger your baby.If you have any concerns or questions, immediately contact the store from where you purchased it. It is better to ask what might seem a silly question than to have problems later. Before assembly, check also that you have all the pieces as listed in the instructions; if not, you will need to call the store. • Examine the crib weekly. Check for loose bolts, sharp edges or rough spots. Check the mattress support hooks at the same time. If even one hook becomes loose, the crib poses an entrapment hazard. •
