With the new crib regs will IA guidelines prohibit pnp's? I know I probably need to wait until June to find out but I wondered if you had heard anything. Our inspectors really don't like them, but can't cite us on it. I just want to be prepared to budget for 200$ a pop cribs.

I am pretty sure we have to get the new cribs in MN. I am wondering about some I saw on Babies R Us website that are smaller than normal cribs and look like they fold up for storage? I will have to get in touch with licensing and see if I can use those since they were under 150.00. -
what are you guys talking about? New cribs I am in MN and I have not heard anything about new crib guidelines.Comment

I'll find it for you and post a link in a bit...kids waking up :-( cannot put infants in pack n plays anymore supposedly and cannot used drop down sided cribs (like I have). :-( They are making it really tough for family daycare providers for sure.Comment

They pulled all cribs off the shelves with drop rails and now BOTH sides of all cribs will be stationary. That will be hard to get some heavy infants out of
I don't know anything about the PP rules, I have not heard anything.Comment

I was recently licensed in October (in MN) and my licensor told me that I could not use pnps for anyone under 12 months. She did not go into detail as to if it was current regulations or upcoming regulations because I use regular cribs anyway.
I think you can use the portable (small/fold up) cribs, but I'm not sure.
I bought my cribs from Ikea. They are very basic and weren't too expensive ($100-150 range I think.) They are the Sniglar model. The worst part was having to buy the mattresses since I am picky about what I will let an infant sleep on.Comment

Not that I know of. I have never used cribs so I don't know.Originally posted by jessrlee View Post
What's happening in June?Comment

This seems to be happening nationwide. I believe there has been a recall on ALL drop side cribs and collapsible sided PNP's.Comment

I don't have either so hopefully I'm not affected. When I have to give up the JMason's I will close my doors.Originally posted by Crystal View PostComment

I never read it was an actual recall. Just a...hmm...whats the word... basically they're pulling them off the market due to the drop sides, but since pnp's don't have drop sides....Comment

I heard about the drop side cribs; they are not allowed to be bought or sold I think. But as for PNP's that collapse (I thought all of them did)... as far as I know all of them are made so that they don't collapse unless the mattress is out and you pull the cord at the bottom. What's the danger in that?Comment

Can you link where you've seen anything about pnp's? As of right now, that is what is recommended in my state, I own 6 pnps and 0 cribs. I couldn't afford to replace them.
I've been googling, but I don't see anything that mentions pnps.Comment

Ok, I am in MN too and I just called my licensor and she said she has heard nothing about any new regs in regards to PNP's or cribs. She said it is a given that no one should use any product that has been recalled and PNP's are okay but NOT for infants (under 12 months) if the PNP has mesh siding which most do. So infants cannot and have not been allowed to sleep mesh sided PNP's
Subp. 9.Infant and newborn sleeping space.There must be a safe, comfortable sleeping space for each infant and newborn. A crib, portable crib, or playpen with waterproof mattress or pad must be provided for each infant or newborn in care.

Playpens with mesh sidings must not be used for the care or sleeping of infants or newborns.Comment

I've never heard of an infant not being able to sleep in a PNP?Comment

here in NY (i have heard, but not sure if its true) that it is illegal to sell, buy, or trade cribs w/ drop sides, for ALL people, not just providers.
i haven't heard anyhting about pnp's yet.
walmart has small portable cribs for $99. at least, last time i looked on their website they did.Comment
