What Makes a Child Craft Crib So Special?


Safety! The number one feature parents are looking for in baby cribs. In light of the more than ten million safety recall of drop side baby cribs, mothers are now more determined to look for a crib that meets and exceeds recommendations set forth by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Juvenile Products Manufacturing Association (JPMA).

Drop side cribs are now banned from being sold in the States. Though it is not illegal to have these cribs at home, the recommendations suggest that parents check and recheck these hand-me-down cribs for any missing parts. And, if these baby cribs are part of the brands on the safety recall, parents are encouraged to use the immobilizer from the manufacturers. CPSC recommends the use of fixed side or stationary cribs only.

The Child Craft Crib – London Stationary Crib meets and exceeds all US recommendations on safety and quality. This crib starts as a baby crib and then converts into a toddler bed as your child grows. Conversion from crib to bed is really easy and the clean lines, the look and the safety features are kept intact.

One other consideration in looking for a crib is the price. Baby cribs can range in price from under $100 to more than $1000. Wood construction, design, finish and extra features play a big role in the crib’s price. Safety, no matter what the price point, should be non-negotiable. A Child Craft Crib bridges this divide. These baby cribs are backed by Child Craft Industries of Salem, Indiana. The company has been making baby furniture for more than a hundred years now. Its commitment to standards and quality is known in the industry and Child Craft continues to be a respected name when it comes to baby furniture.

A Child Craft Crib is designed the same way high end cribs are, with an emphasis on form and function. With the new stationary and fixed sides, cribs are now simpler and sleeker. The London Stationary Crib is a design winner with its European styling and sleek lines. It is offered at a price point that mothers will love. This crib is 40 lbs in weight and its size is 56.3L x 51W x 34H inches. Because it sits low on the floor, this crib is not too challenging for petite mothers. It is made of all wood with non toxic finish. Though bending is required to reach the baby, especially if the mattress is at the lowest level, it is not impossible. Access is also a breeze because of its open and unencumbered design.

Again, the sides are fixed to give extra protection to your baby. If you need to adjust the height of the mattress, there are two heights available. The mattress itself is sold separately.

Assembly is simple. A number of Child Craft cribs convert to toddler beds by simply removing the crib’s front side assembly. Everything you will need to convert the Child Craft crib into a toddler bed such as instructions and hardware are shipped with the product. If you need added security and protection for your child, you can always purchase a toddler guard rail.

A one year limited warranty covers Child Craft baby cribs. You’ll be happy to know that their products are certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers’ Association or JPMA. This means it meets or even exceeds the safety standards set by the US CPSC for baby cribs.

Value, safety and great design are all bundled together in this Child Craft crib. The stationary sides that this crib comes in give mothers the peace of mind they need, especially when baby is left sleeping by himself in the room. The danger of something falling or a side not being locked in place is over. All four sides of the crib are stationary, and hence, immovable.

Some parents say that the 34 inch height is a bit higher than some 30 inch models and that petite mothers may have a hard time reaching their babies. I am 5’4″ so I tried checking it out. I didn’t find it hard at all. Yes, the 30inch is much lower, but the extra 4-inches for me, is not a deal breaker.

I love my Child Craft crib. I love the way it looks, its finish and its safety. I will definitely recommend this to friends. In fact, I just posted on a Mommy group how much I love this crib
