Be sure that the crib is well-constructed and sturdy, equipped with secure hardware and well-fitting fittings. Also, ensure it meets current CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines: Less than 2.375 inches of space between the slats (that's about the width of a soda can) There should be no cutouts or decorative designs in the headboard or footboard and corner posts that are flush with the end panels or very tall—anything in between poses an opportunity for strangulation.
