Crib and Car Seat Safety Standards

Crib Slat width:  Cribs will be accepted if the space between the slats is no more than 2-3/8 inches apart to prevent infants from getting their head stuck between them. Cribs manufactured after 1974 must meet this and other strict safety standards. 
Cribs with corner posts:  The corner posts should be the same height as the end panels or less than 1/16 of an inch higher than the end panels. 
Cribs with Cut outs: No cut-out areas on the headboard or footboard so a baby's head cannot get trapped. 
Crib Top Rails:  The top rails of crib sides, in their raised position, should be at least 26 inches above the top of the mattress support at its lowest position.


Car seats cannot be older than 5 years old.

In order to ensure that the car seats being sold at the sale meet these standards, please fill out our Consignor Car Seat Checklist before bringing your car seat to the sale.  If you forget to fill it out ahead of time, you will be asked to fill one out at Drop Off.  No car seat will be sold without a signed Checklist on file.  All car seats will be inspected BEFORE they are put on the selling floor.  Car seats that do not pass inspection will be taken back home with you.  Please follow the Checklist carefully before bringing it to the sale.
