Choosing Safe Beds & Sleeping Products For Kids
The distance between the slats of children’s beds and other sleeping products must be equal to or lower than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters). This small slat distance can protect toddlers and children from getting trapped. (2)
Use the firmest mattress you can find and ensure it fits snugly in your children’s crib or bed. (2)
Always check for loose parts and tighten them, if possible.
If possible, don’t buy or use second-hand beds and sleeping products for your kids. These products might not comply with the CPCS’s guidelines or have been through long periods of use, making them unsafe for your children. (2)
Also, checking for recalls is vital to ensure you aren’t buying an unsafe recalled product.
