2011 Crib Standards

At the end of 2010, the CPSC issued new 2011 Crib Standards mandating that cribs go through more rigorous testing and have stronger hardware, in addition to eliminating drop side rails.  Any company selling or leasing full sized or compact sized cribs must comply by June 28, 2011, including baby gear rental companies. Hotels and child care centers have until December 2012 to comply. 

What does this mean? Well, we will be replacing our entire inventory of cribs by the end of June, even though our current models are barely over a year old.  We take your child's safety very seriously and pride ourselves in providing high quality cribs manufactured by Foundations specifically for commercial use.  Since the issuance of the new standard was just given at the end of December, suppliers are working quickly to release new compliant cribs as soon as possible.  The best case scenario we've been told is that they will be in the marketplace by the beginning of May.  Rest assured that our current inventory of cribs are safety checked between every rental and the issuance of a new standard does not suddenly make any existing crib inherently unsafe.
