lillie Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 My sister talked about this when she had a used cot given to her. Its the mattress thats the problem from what i gather. It has been said that using the same mattress could increase the chances of sudden infant death syndrome. Anyway to be on the safe side my sister replaced the mattress..

katietrapp1 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well i planned on buying a new mattress, but the crib it self is about 2 yrs old or so i think so i just didnt know it the crib it self was safe or should i buy a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythical_Suicide Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 How old is the crib? As long as the mattress fits snugly into the crib, the rails are on it is no more then 2 inches apart also make sure the paint isnt chipping or it doesn't have any spliters and make sure all the parts fit together and everything is "secure". If all of that is ok it should be fine. I would also suggest buying a new mattress atleast ( they are fairly cheap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillie Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well as long as the crib is in good order & you replace the mattress it will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythical_Suicide Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Also if possible, get the model and lot number and do a recall search it's simple. If you are still unsure i'd buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
