Important Message from CPSC:
CPSC would like to remind parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop-side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Any disengagement can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib, especially with tape, wire or rope.
These small beds can be made of wood, metal or plastic. Some come with built-in storage compartments for toys. There are many, many designs available, from simple hardwood beds to “theme” beds. Some of the popular plastic beds are shaped like race cars or castles.
Toddler beds are the same size and shape as a standard crib; you can often continue to use the crib mattress and bedding when your baby moves into his first bed. This feature can help make the transition go smoothly for your child; while the bed is new and special, it still feels and looks familiar.
A convertible crib is a versatile piece of baby furniture that converts from a baby crib to a toddler bed, and back again. Many of them also convert into a daybed or full-size bed, and can be used until adulthood.
Important safety features for toddler beds:
Side rails – to prevent your child from rolling out in her sleep.
Low to the ground – so it’s easy for your toddler to climb in and out of bed safely.
Strong frame – the bed should support an adult’s weight, so that you can sit on the bed to tuck your child in.
The Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) now certifies beds designed for toddlers that meet or exceed voluntary safety standards. JPMA lists Dorel Juvenile Group, Generation 2 Worldwide, and Stork Craft Manufacturing, Inc. as manufacturers with JPMA-certified beds. Check out the JPMA certification program webpage for the most updated list of manufacturers that make JPMA-certified toddler beds.
