Safety

As you shop for a crib for travel, you'll want to make sure the manufacturer meets all safety standards. A good starting point is the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website, which can let you know whether or not a specific crib for portable has been removed from the market. You should also select a mattress that is the correct size for your baby's crib, so it doesn't slip into the gaps between the crib sides or create a suffocation hazard.

When you are choosing a crib or bassinet make sure it conforms to the latest safety standards that were updated in 2022. It is also recommended to avoid older cribs, modified cribs or drop side cribs that are repurposed for travel because these aren't tested and could pose a risk to your baby's well-being.

A travel crib must be well-constructed and sturdy. Check for missing, broken or loose screws and other hardware. If you're using a playard it should have a secure wall and mesh windows to allow for adequate air circulation. The slats of the crib should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to keep baby's head and limbs from being trapped. Also, never put pillows, blankets or toys with stuffed animals in the crib. These objects can strangle or suffocate your baby. They must be removed at the time they are able to stand on their own, or before the age of five months.

Check often for broken or loose screws and hardware. This is particularly important when traveling with a baby. Make sure to remove all crib furniture prior to use, too.
