If you're purchasing a new crib, look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure that it is up to the highest safety standards. The slats of a crib should be spaced evenly to ensure that children don't get their heads or fingers in them. They should also not contain any cutouts with decorative designs or other decorations that could result in injuries.
