This could result in SIDS. Although some manufacturers claim that bedside co-sleepers to be safer than cribs, they aren't subject to the CPSC safety standards. These cribs may include slats that allow the baby's head or legs to get caught. Their attachment mechanisms may also be unstable, resulting in separation. Furthermore, a lot of sleep surfaces have loose bedding that can cause the suffocation. Babies lack the strength or coordination to free themselves from entanglement in soft bedding, and gaps between the mattress and the frame can cause a danger of suffocation. Some of these products have a hard base that could cause injuries to a child if they fall onto it.

If you are considering purchasing a crib that is used, be sure to check if it has been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Make sure the crib was coated with water-based paint because this is safer for infants. Be sure that the mattress is firm and that it is fitted snugly. Mattresses that are soft can cause infants to slip out and pose a suffocation risk. Pay special attention to second-hand bassinets and cradles, and play yards.

Since 1973 crib makers and the CPSC collaborated to create standard requirements for safer infant cribs. These standards dealt with things like side heights, slat spacings corner posts, mattress fits and cutouts on the end panels. In the past few years, the number of deaths attributed to cribs has dropped from 150 to 200 per year to just 50.
