The crib lets parents access their child easily so that they can feed and comfort them without leaving the bed. This is useful for new parents who suffer from sleep deprivation during those early months. It promotes healthy growth for the baby by creating an environment that is safe and secure.

They could pose a serious safety hazard and may not be up to the required safety standards.
