Proper Maintenance and Storage of Cribs

When properly cared for, cribs are intended to last for years. To ensure the safety of your crib for current and future use follow these guidelines:

�h For the safest product use, be sure to always read and follow all manufacturers�� instructions.

�h Don��t forget to frequently inspect products for missing hardware, loose threads and strings, holes and tears.

�h Check screws and bolts periodically to ensure they are tight and there are no missing, loose, broken or improperly installed screws, brackets or other hardware on the crib or mattress support.

�h Make sure there is no cracked or peeling paint, splinters or rough edges.

�h Make sure all features of the product are in place securely.

�h When storing your crib for future use, save the instructions and keep them with the crib. Often manufacturers post or attach instructions to the mattress platform so that they are easy to find when the crib is re-assembled for later use. Instructions can often be found on manufacturers�� website.

�h When storing your crib, keep all parts, together and labeled for future assembly.

�h Do not try to repair the crib without manufacturer-approved hardware. Don��t substitute parts.
