I’m coming into this 4 years late, but I had to put in 2 cents – if you look back to before we had “safety regulations” for cribs, children did just as fine as they do now. So thank you ancestors for taking a chance and realizing that bumps and bruises and scrapes are a natural part of life. Let’s get back to basics!

I know that this is an old post, but I would like to know if you could tell me where to get the high density foam that you used for her crib? Thank you

My husband wanted to make a crib for our grandson when he was born but couldn’t think up something as wonderful as this. I love the nearness to the floor. My daughter climbed out of her standard size crib and fell to the floor. She was not injured but I put pillows around her bed(s) from then out until I knew she wouldn’t fall out of bed. Another thing that my mother used was an old style playpen as a sleep over for my children when they were little (now 30 & 33). My father had made some adaptions to it to make it safer for them.

Another thing to parents with decks, there now are standards for the width between slats or spindles on your decks similar to cribs. Make sure yours meet the building codes to prevent injury to your children. Make sure your builder knows the laws before he starts. Don’t just ask him if he knows them, ask them what they are. My husband is a licensed builder and will not build a deck that is not legal.
