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 footboard 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.


Car seats cannot be older than 5 years old. Click here for recalls or call the Dept of transportation for recalls. 1-800-424-9393.
