A travel crib should be strong and well-constructed. Check for missing, broken or loose screws, as well as other hardware. If you're using a playard it should have mesh windows and secure walls for air circulation. The slats of the crib should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to prevent baby's head or limbs from becoming trapped. Never put toys, blankets or stuffed animals in the crib. These items can strangle or suffocate your baby. They should be removed when they can stand up on their own or before the age of 5 months.
