Safety and Quality
At the DOM Family, providing our customers and their families with the safest nursery furniture built from the best quality materials is our No.1 priority. We are committed to adhering to all state and federal safety standards and regulations. All of our cribs and toddlers beds are JPMA certified and meet or exceed CPSC standards.

Proper Maintenance and Storage of Cribs
With proper care, cribs are designed to last for many years. To maintain their safety for both current and future use, follow these guidelines:
- When storing your crib for later use, keep the assembly instructions with it. Many manufacturers attach the instructions to the mattress platform for easy access during reassembly. If the instructions are lost, contact Dream On Me at 732-752-7220.
- Store all crib parts together and label them to ensure smooth reassembly.
- Only use manufacturer-approved hardware for repairs—never substitute or modify parts.





Crib Durability
For a safe and long-lasting crib, follow these guidelines:
- Always use a crib that meets current Federal and ASTM standards. Drop-side cribs, banned in 2011, do not comply with these regulations.
- Assemble the crib before the baby arrives to ensure all parts are present and properly installed.
- Carefully read and follow all instructions. If anything is unclear or missing, contact the manufacturer or retailer at Dream On Me (732-752-7220). Never use makeshift or substitute hardware.
- When disassembling for storage, keep all parts and instructions together in a labeled bag attached to the crib. Verify all parts before reassembly.
- Register your crib to receive recall notifications. Check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website for any safety updates.
- Regularly inspect the crib for loose screws, missing hardware, or any issues—Dream On Me recommends doing this when changing sheets.





Guidelines for Buying a Full-Size Crib
- Proper Mattress Size: The mattress should measure at least 27 1/4” x 51 5/8” and be no more than 6 inches thick. When pushed into a corner, the gap between the mattress and crib sides should not exceed 1-3/16 inches.
- Safe Slat Spacing: Crib slats should be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart (about the width of a soda can) to prevent a baby’s head from slipping through or getting stuck.
- Corner Post Safety: Corner posts should be no higher than 1/16 of an inch unless they are over 16 inches to support a canopy. Taller posts can pose a risk of clothing catching, leading to injury or choking.
- Adjustable Mattress Height: Most cribs allow mattress height adjustments. Lower the mattress when your child begins sitting up, and further adjust it as they start pulling up and standing to prevent climbing or falls.
