Is Your Used Crib Safe?

Before you put your baby to sleep in a used crib, check to be sure it's safe.
A safe crib has:

Pink HeartA firm, tight-fitting mattress

Pink HeartNo loose, missing, or broken hardware or slats

Pink HeartNo more than 2 3/8" between the slats (about the width of a soda can)

Pink HeartNo corner posts over 1/16" high

Pink HeartNo cutout designs in the headboard or footboard

If your used crib isn't safe, don't use it.
DESTROY IT.
IT COULD SAVE YOUR BABY'S LIFE!
