Solid Side/Headboard Crib?

sdiaz

Has anyone out there come across any safety concerns with a solid side (future headboard) crib? I love the look of the built to grow cribs with a solid side/headboard, but wonder about the safety of it. Is anyone else concerned about these types of cribs?

That is the kind of crib that we have. ?I actually have not thought about any potential safety hazard with it. ?Honestly, if I really think about it, maybe the solid part is better because for sure no legs or arms or heads! could get stuck in it? ?

I would be concerned with the breathability.  As the baby breathes out, carbon dioxide can concentrate in the crib, suffocating him/her.  This is also why bumpers are not recommended once the baby starts moving around.

We were considering one, but I would like to put breathable bumpers in the crib, and there's no way to do it with a solid side.

That's the kind we have and we have never had a safety issue with it. That actually never crossed my mind.

We just bought a solid side crib, and I don't see a problem with breathability. Most cribs that are slats on both long sides are pushed up against a wall on one side anyway.
