Safe & Secure Head to Toe

Birth to Three Conference

 U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission approved strong new crib safety standards to ensure safe sleep for babies and toddlers. The federal crib standards had not been updated in nearly 30 years and these new rules are expected to usher in a safer generation of cribs. 

Five Fast Facts about Crib Regulations: 

1.  The new rules apply to child care centers, in-home 

      child care (including Type A and B), private, public,

      for profit, non-profit.
 
2.  Rules affect compact AND full-size cribs
 
3.  The new rules will affect EVERY crib not just cribs

      with drop sides
 
4.  CPSC will inspect and fine child care providers

      violating these rules beginning on 12/29/2012.
 
5.  No one will be allowed to re-sell or buy cribs which   

      do not meet the new rules.
