Question from Marie

Debra, I am researching safe, non-toxic beds to purchase for my two small children. I need a crib and a toddler bed. I was considering the “MINNEN” bed from Ikea for the toddler bed. The product description states: “Steel, Pigmented epoxy/polyester powder coating. Slatted bed base: Solid wood, 100 % polyester.” Does this sound safe?

With regard to the crib, I was considering the ” Babi Italia Mayfair Curved Convertible Crib – Oyster Shell or the “DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 Convertible Crib”. Both of these cribs are sold at Babies R US. Both of these companies emphasize having lead-free paint, being made from renewal resources, and being safer than other manufacturers (reference this link: ). However, I have no way of knowing for certain whether or not these cribs are made from solid wood. I tend to doubt they are, but I cannot find any information to help me determine this.

What do you think about these products and do you have any suggestions of other cribs or toddler beds?

Debra’s Answer

I looked at the Minnen bed and yes, it looks fine to me. You probably don’t want to use that mattress, but the frame is fine.

I also like the Sniglar crib at IKEA. Again, I wouldn’t use their mattress.
