Before you put your baby to sleep in a used crib, check to be sure it's safe. A safe crib has --
A firm, tight-fitting mattress
No loose, missing, or broken hardware or slats
No more than 2
3/8" between the slats (about the width of a soda can)
No corner posts over
1/16" high
No 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!
