Cribs & Cradles
It is important to be aware of the potential hazards and Regulations that are in place when looking for a crib or cradle. Cribs made before September 1986 are not safe for use and Health Canada recommends that they be destroyed. Infants have been seriously injured or have died when placed in a crib made before this date.
Cribs and cradles with decorative cut-outs, corner posts that are more than 3mm in height, or lead paint can be dangerous for your baby. Cribs and cradles without a label or instructions may not be safe and should not be sold or purchased.
