				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Finding storage in small spaces like nurseries can be difficult. Parents searching for a way to increase the storage space without sacrificing the style of the nursery should choose cribs that include storage. The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/HlSOBC">DaVinci Piedmont 4 in 1 crib</a> is a great option if that interests you, as there is a hidden drawer in the bottom of the crib. This drawer can be used to store diapers and toys, and other objects &#8211; reducing clutter throughout.</p>
<p align="center"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/HlSOBC"><img src="http://safestcribs.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DaVinci-Piedmont-4-in-1-Crib.jpg" alt="DaVinci Piedmont 4 in 1 Crib" /></a></p>
<p>One key feature is the toddler rail that allows the parent to get the best bang for their buck. By simply removing the front rail of the crib and replacing it with the included toddler rail, parents can increase the life of the crib to accommodate the toddler at an older age – and even young children by removing the guard rails completely. Finally, the bed can be transformed into a full size bed with the available set of bed rails to complete the transformation. </p>
<p align="center"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/HlSOBC"><img src="http://safestcribs.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DaVinci-Piedmont-4-in-1-Crib-1.jpg" alt="DaVinci Piedmont 4 in 1 Crib" /></a></p>
<p>What features set the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/HlSOBC">DaVinci Piedmont 4 in 1 Crib</a> apart from others in the line?</p>
<ul>
<li>
Classic style is brought up to date with clean lines throughout the top of the crib with uneven head and foot board </li>
<li>
Includes toddler rail for parents seeking a versatile and budget friendly option for crib, toddler bed, day bed and double bed combination </li>
<li>
Not included is the conversion kit required to transform the crib into double bed</li>
<li>
Free of potentially harmful toxins like lead, phthalates throughout the surface of the crib to create a safe sleeping area for baby</li>
<li>
Created from sustainable pine for an eco-friendly option</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/HlSOBC"><img src="http://safestcribs.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DaVinci-Piedmont-4-in-1-Crib-2.jpg" alt="DaVinci Piedmont 4 in 1 Crib" /></a></p>
<p>The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/HlSOBC">Davinci Piedmont 4 in 1 Crib</a> is a great option for parents that are seeking a sturdy and reliable crib that is going to grow with the infant. The four in one design allows parents to use the crib for as long as they would like, until the child can be transitioned into a double bed. The classic design ensures that the bed is not going to be functional – but that the crib is going to remain stylish too. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The crib is the focal point of the nursery and one of the biggest purchases that parents make for the infant. As one of the bigger purchases, parents often search for ways to save while shopping and this leads many parents to consider <a href="http://safestcribs.net/crib-safety-basics.php" title="Crib Safety Basics">choosing a previously owned crib</a> for the infant. </p>
<p>Though it can be a great way to shave a bit off of the baby budget, there are a few reasons that parents should consider buying a new crib for the infant including:</p>
<p><strong>New Cribs Meet the Latest Safety Standards</strong><br />
The safety standards for baby items are always changing. Buying a new crib rather than a used model can ensure that the proper safety standards are going to be met and the infant is going to be safe and secure while in the crib. </p>
<p><strong>New Cribs Have Current Recall Notices</strong><br />
It can be difficult to tell which model of used cribs are being purchased and even more difficult to determine the release dates, which can help to determine if the crib is subject to a recall from the manufacturer. Parents choosing a new crib can have peace of mind knowing that the crib has not been recalled and is safe for the child to sleep in. </p>
<p><strong>New Cribs are Created without Drop Sides </strong><br />
The majority of cribs that are currently available on the market are created without the drop side style of crib. These cribs have been subject to multiple recalls lately, causing the customer to have to stop using the crib and find a replacement. New cribs are being created with standard sized cribs. </p>
<p><strong>New Cribs Don’t have Imperfections that can Affect Performance</strong><br />
New cribs are designed without the imperfections including cracks through the hardware and other elements that can affect the performance of the crib. </p>
<p><strong>New Cribs Come with Detailed Instruction Manuals</strong><br />
New cribs are designed with detailed instruction manuals to ensure the customer is able to assemble the crib and use the hardware correctly throughout the design to ensure the safety of the crib for the infant. </p>
<p><a href="http://safestcribs.net/best-brand-of-crib.php" title="What is The Best Brand of Crib?">Choosing a new crib</a> is the safest option for parents that are searching for a way to protect the child in one of the places where they spend the majority of their time, the sleeping area. </p>

<h3>Important Crib Safety Basics</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Old or Used Cribs</strong> &#8211; Buying an old or used crib is not recommended. <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5030.html" title="crib safety guidelines" target="_blank">Federal Crib Safety Guidelines</a> went into effect in 1973 &#8211; meaning that any crib built before that year is incredibly susceptible to safety hazards and violations. However, any older or used crib could have issues such as splinters, peeling paint, stability problems, and other dangers. It&#8217;s best to purchase a brand new crib to ensure safety is of top priority.</li>
<li><strong>Drop-Down Style Cribs</strong> &#8211; <i>DO NOT USE!</i> As previously mentioned, since 2011 they are now illegal to manufacture, sell, or donate in the United States. According to the <a href="http://www.nih.gov/news/health/jun2011/nichd-27.htm" title="Consumer Product Safety Commission " target="_blank">CPSC</a>, at least 32 babies died from issues relating to drop down cribs from the year 2000 to 2010. </li>
<li><strong>Crib Bumpers</strong> &#8211; Once viewed as a decorative nursery item, crib bumpers are now frowned upon since they pose a potential hazard to your baby while they are in their crib. There have been cases where bumpers have been linked to <a href="http://www.sids.org/" title="SIDS" target="_blank">SIDS</a> (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).</li>
<li><strong>Has Your Crib Been Recalled?</strong> &#8211; Checking with the <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/info/cribs/index.html" title="CSPC Crib Information Center" target="_blank">CPSC Crib Information Center</a> to see if your crib has been recalled due to any reason is essential to ensure proper safety. They also offer several tips and advice for keeping infants safe.
