As a company founded by mothers, we understand the concerns and worries that come with ensuring the safety of your baby. When you are shopping with PoshTots, you can rest assured that you are investing in a thoughtful and safe experience for your child that lives up to the highest expectations of the CPSC, JPMA and mothers themselves.

As PoshTots moves into its 10th year as a purveyor of premiere children’s furnishings, we would like to take a moment to comment on one of the pillars PoshTots stands on: safety. In light of all the recent attention on crib safety, and the subsequent recalls on select drop-sided cribs, we here at PoshTots would like to share our personal knowledge and experience about crib safety.

First, we would like to reassure you that we have not experienced any sort of recall on cribs offered by PoshTots. Select drop-side crib options can be found in our collection because the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s standards do not suggest that all drop-sided cribs are unsafe for your child. According to the CPSC and the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), the real danger lies not in the drop-side cribs themselves, but in the proper assembly of the cribs and the quality of materials used. According to Mike Dwyer, JPMA Executive Director,

“The safest place for a child is in a fully functional, properly assembled crib. Parents are urged to closely inspect the hardware and stability of their cribs to ensure all parts are in place and secure when assembling and re-assembling cribs.”

The CPSC has released a new set of standards that outline the qualifications for a safe crib for your child. PoshTots, of course, only carries cribs approved by the CPSC. In addition to the CPSC standards, the JPMA has released a list of tips to help sustain the proper lifespan of your crib.

Many of our artisans offer cribs with stationary side rails. If you have questions about specific cribs’ features or general questions about crib safety, we invite you to contact our Design Consultants. They are well versed in nursery design and also understand the safety concerns of expecting and new parents.
