Toys, pillows and blankets are dangers to suffocate. Safety If you're looking to purchase a crib for travel you'll want to be sure that the manufacturer complies with all safety standards. The best place to start is the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website, which will inform you whether or not a specific crib for portable has been removed from the market. You should also select a mattress that is appropriate for the crib of your baby to ensure it doesn't slide into the gaps between the crib's sides or create a suffocation risk. When selecting a bassinet or crib choose one that conforms to the latest safety standards that were revised in 2022. Avoid older cribs and cribs that have been modified for travel, or cribs with drop-sides. These cribs haven't been tested, and could cause danger to your baby's safety. A travel crib must be well-constructed and sturdy. Examine for broken, missing 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 crib's slats must not be more than 2 3/8 inches apart to avoid the baby's head and limbs from becoming trapped. Also, do not put pillows, blankets toys, stuffed animals or other items in the crib. These items can suffocate or strangle your baby and should be removed from the crib at the time your child is able to pull up on their knees and hands or prior to 5 months old or 5 months, whichever is first. It's also important to look often for loose or broken screws and hardware, especially when you travel with your infant. Take all plastic out of the crib too. If you're using a portable crib, be sure it is not located close to a window. A window is an accident hazard for your baby could be injured if they roll into it.

This type of co-sleeping increases the chance of SIDS. If you are forced to co-sleep occasionally, ensure that you only do so while your baby is asleep, and that you're at all times dressed and awake.
