 crib and car seat safety standards Crib and Car Seat Safety Standards |
Crib Slat width: Cribs will be accepted if the space between the slats is no more than 2-3/8 inches apart to prevent infants from getting their head stuck between them. Cribs manufactured after 1974 must meet this and other strict safety standards. Cribs with corner posts: The corner posts should be the same height as the end panels or less than 1/16 of an inch higher than the end panels. Cribs with cut outs: No cut-out areas on the headboard or foot board so a baby's head cannot get trapped. Crib Top Rails: The top rails of crib sides, in their raised position, should be at least 26 inches above the top of the mattress support at its lowest position.
