here are the regs for cribs/pnp for Wisconsin. It looks like 'safe' pnps are allowed but there are no indicators of 'safe' for pnps, just cribs... for now.
(e) Infants shall sleep alone in cribs or playpens. Two related children may share a double bed.
No more than one child may occupy a single size bed, cot, mat or sleeping bag.
Note: See also s. DCF 250.06(8)(b)3. and 4. which require that the cot, bed, mat, sleeping bag, crib or
playpen be safe and washable.
4. A safe, washable crib or playpen for each child under one year of age who naps or sleeps.
Note: See Appendix D for information related to safe cribs.

Your Used Crib Could Be DEADLY
CPSC Document # 5020
An unsafe used crib could be very dangerous for a baby. Each year, about 50 babies suffocate
or strangle when they become trapped between broken crib parts or in cribs with older, unsafe
designs.
A safe crib is the best place to put a baby to sleep. Look for a crib with a certification seal
showing that it meets national safety standards.
If a crib does not meet these guidelines, it may not be used by children enrolled in your child
care center. To protect all children, destroy it and replace it with a safe crib.
A safe crib has:
• No missing, loose, broken, or improperly-installed screws, brackets, or other hardware on the crib
or the mattress support.
• No more than 2 3/8 inches between crib slats so a baby’s body cannot fit through the slats.
• A firm, snug-fitting mattress so a baby cannot get trapped between the mattress and the side of
the crib.
• No corner posts over 1/16 of an inch above the end panels (unless they are over 16 inches high
for a canopy) so a baby cannot catch clothing and strangle.
• No cutout areas on the headboard or foot board so a baby’s head cannot get trapped.
• A mattress support that does not easily pull apart from the corner posts so a baby cannot get
trapped between mattress and crib.
• No cracked or peeling paint to prevent lead poisoning.
• No splinters or rough edges.
