As of June 28, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's ban on drop side cribs took effect. If you have a drop side crib at home or if your family is using one, please go to the manufacturer's website to see if they are offering a kit to stabilize the drop side. The Parents.com website has a good article on the new crib regulatations and offers guidance to other websites for additional information.
It's never a good idea to buy used baby equipment such as strollers, car seats, and cribs at garage sales or from friends. You do not know how this equipment has been treated over the years and may not have recall information on products. Due to the safety issues associated with these products, it always best to buy new. The 4th of July holiday is a great time to pick these products up at a discount! Many stores are running big sales this time of year.
Have a safe and happy 4th!
