What is a Crib?
A crib is a small bed specifically designed for infants and young children. It typically has high sides to prevent the child from falling out and may also come with a mattress, a safety rail, and sometimes even a canopy.
Types of Cribs
- Standard cribs
- Convertible cribs
- Portable cribs
- Travel cribs
Examples of Cribs
One popular example of a crib is the classic wooden crib with slats on the sides. Another example is a modern convertible crib that can be transformed into a toddler bed as the child grows.
Case Studies
In a study conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics, it was found that using a crib reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by up to 50%.
Statistics on Crib Usage
According to a survey by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, nearly 3,500 infants are injured each year due to accidents involving cribs.
