Do you think cribs are dangerous for babies?

[Alwayreckles93]

I hate cribs I have heard scary stories from parents that telling me how their little one got stocked in the crib little hands. I only wish cribs would get out of the market. Bumpers were cancel I am sure after a lot of babies suffer an accident. We are cribs still in the market when a lot of innocent babies got injured in this cribs. I don't care called me helicopter momma but I always tell new parents playpacks always go for the playback Plus it comes with wheels were the parents can take baby everywhere anyplace.

I don’t believe cribs are inherently dangerous—it really comes down to how they’re used. I used the same crib for all three of my children, along with a bassinet and a playpen, and fortunately didn't have any issues. The mattress fit snugly with no gaps, and I made sure it was set up safely. Because of that, I never felt a crib was a risk.

When people worry about cribs being dangerous, it’s often due to improper setup, outdated models, or unsafe sleep environments. But with the right precautions—like a properly fitted mattress, no extra bedding, and following safety guidelines—a crib can be just as safe as any other sleep option. Parenting comes with endless "what ifs," and if we let every possible risk consume us, we’d never feel at ease. The key is to research, use good judgment, and choose what works best for your family. If a crib doesn’t feel right for the parent there are plenty of other safe alternatives, but I personally never saw it as a danger.

I am currently looking at different options. It's for my sister and my brother in laws baby. They are going to be frist time parents so I want get them the baby something that will be safe. I bought some reusable diapers.

If you sleep deeply then co-sleeping is far more dangerous.

Cribs have been around for centuries. Just either get one with wide spaces or very small ones. If the baby is swaddled correctly there's no reason for it to be dangerous.

A playback may be less possible injury, but it's not a bed. Make sure you also get a little baby mattress like in a crib and put that under or in the playpen, so that the baby isn't just sleeping on the floor or a blanket.

I like this advice thank you.

People have been using cribs for centuries. As long as you do not leave dangerous stuff in them it is okay.,

I never had children and never contemplated this question.

It can be... I believe babies should be on a super king size bed between parents. I never had a kid

[CheeseMonster]

This sounds nice but is actually very dangerous, please do not recommend it to any new parents.

[LiamS95]

Only if they sre old snd don't meet the current safety standards.

Depends on how it’s made

[Alwayreckles93]
