The first recall was issued in June of 2008.  The hazard on the first recall was listed that the wooden crib slats and spindles can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants.

The cause for the recall was due to 42 incidents of crib slats and spindles breaking. Four children became entrapped in the space created by a broken slat or spindle. Two of the children had abrasions and bruising.

The second recall in January of 2009 was for the same hazard on different models.  The second recall was as a result of the CPSC receiving 19 additional incidents of crib slats breaking. In nine of these incidents, consumers reported that their infant or toddler broke the slat while in the crib. In addition, a 22-month-old child fell through the gap between the crib slats when a slat broke. No injuries have been reported.

You can see these recalls and pictures of the cribs by going to the CPSC website at http://www.cpsc.gov.

The total recall involves over 370,000 cribs manufactured between 2002 and 2007 and involves 31 different model numbers.  If you have one of these cribs, contact the company immediately.  Be careful if you have purchased or are looking for a crib in garage sales or second hand shops.

The hot new trend in baby nursery decorating is round baby cribs. They offer a new look and feel to today’s nursery. When I saw this new type of crib, I thought it was the cutest…ever!!

Round baby cribs can be placed anywhere in the nursery, but putting them in the middle of the room allows you to take full advantage. You have 360 degree access to your baby and baby has a full view of their surroundings. You also have more wall space to put your dresser and changing table. This is a great solution if you have a small room.

With a round baby crib there are no corners for baby to bump into. The round design allows more freedom for baby to decide which is the head or the bed, or change when the mood strikes. It also gives them more opportunity for visual stimulation. Hanging baby mobiles is easy if you choose one with a canopy top.

They are a little pricier than a standard baby crib, but WOW, what a statement in your nursery. If you don’t want the same old look that everyone else has, this is the way to go!
