Financial & Travel Musings

When you’ve a new arrival, particularly when it’s your first, you can pretty much take it for granted that you’ll find heaps of crib bedding being offered from all your relatives.

Much as you may think this is a very welcome assistance at what’s generally a pretty expensive time, don’t forget that much of what’s on offer will be anything up to a couple of generations old and therefore can often fall a long way short of current safety standards. For example, you’ll rarely come across anti-allergic pillows and mattresses more than 10 or 15 years old. Likewise, there are less noticeable aspects such as the distance between the bars on the cot.

So, much as it might sound cute and traditional to use your granny’s cot for your new baby, do take account of the safety aspects.
