With information on what drop side crib owners can do.
Can i use a 30 year old crib.
I don t even know why they think they need a nursery set up at their house they live 5 miles away.
Also cribs that have been assembled disassembled and reassembled over time may have worn out hardware which can loosen making the crib unsafe.
I know a woman who lost her 6 month old to suffocation this year when an old drop side broke and squashed him between the rail and the bed.
Just look up those safety standards to make sure it does fall within them such as how far apart the side bars are and such.
Is not too old.
No please don t use it.
My in laws have said they can t wait to unpack the old crib from the basement for our babies.

This wouldn t be for the babies room at our house.
But i wouldn t have an issue with a 30 year old crib that has been updated and made safe for baby according to todays safety standards.
Old drop side cribs.
I m not comfortable with putting our children in such an old crib.
I wouldn t use a 30 year old mattress.
If the older crib you were hoping to use is a drop side crib you should know about the warnings relate to the safety of this style of cribs.
