Crib gyms and other toys that stretch across the crib with
strings, cords or ribbons can be a hazard for older or more
active babies. There have been reported cases in which infants
strangled or became entangled in crib gyms or other toys
stretched across their cribs.
- Make sure that crib gyms are installed securely at both ends
so they cannot be pulled down into the crib.
- Make sure that you remove crib gyms and mobiles from the
crib when your baby is 5 months old or begins to push up on hands
and knees.
- Mobiles and any other toys that hang over a crib or playpen
should be out of reach of a child.
- Do not use crib toys with catch points that can hook
clothing.
