crib recall

So, every year you hear about a crib recall of some sort. Or perhaps a car seat recall. You hear it, and then it slips out of your head.

Unless it happens to be the cribs your twin toddlers are sleeping in. In that case, you creep into their room with a flashlight, crawl under their sleeping bodies to read and re-read the serial number of the cribs to see if the recall applies to you.

You then hungrily read every scrap of information you can find on the internet about the recall, why it occurred and who has been effected.
Two 7 month olds.
One 9 month old.
One 6 month old.
Suffocated.

Then you whisper a prayer of thanksgiving that you were spared.
That your family was spared.
That your children are still here.

Then you print off the FedEx shipping label, plan to set up the playpens & hunker down until the vouchers for two new cribs arrive via e-mail 48-72 hours after shipping the hardware in.

What a headache.
We have loved these cribs for their size & design.
Hopefully we can find something that works just as well in our {tiny} nursery.

  2. We are in the same boat. It scares me to think what could of happened. I am thankful that my girls are also ok. It breaks my heart to hear about those other parents that lost their little ones. I am glad your boys are ok also. You take care of those beautiful baby boys.
