I don’t understand the characteristics of wood. The type of wood in the crib will affect the safety and durability of the use. Sex? " - Ms. Du
Experts answer: Sun Shudong believes that the choice of crib should focus on the structural safety design and strength of the product, as the type of wood used is not very important. “In the case of bed decking, if the strips are too large, it is likely that the load-bearing capacity is insufficient. The child may collapse when jumping.†He suggested that parents should pay attention to the structural safety of the structure and joints when purchasing. Intensity. "Also pay attention to gaps such as gaps in the fence to ensure that the child's hands and feet and head will not get stuck."

“The solid wood crib has a small amount of formaldehyde emission, but it needs to be placed at the parents’ bed. There are already a lot of furniture in the bedroom. Should it be necessary to remove other unnecessary furniture and reduce the release of harmful substances in the whole room? â€
——Mr. Pan’s expert answers: “In fact, there is no need for this.†Sun Shudong said that as long as the furniture placed in the bedroom is qualified, there is not much odor, and the crib is placed in it, and it will not be affected much. The best way to remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde is to ventilate, especially when the temperature is high in summer, the release rate of formaldehyde is increased, and the bedroom can be ventilated.

The exposed edges and protruding parts of the product should be chamfered and free of burrs or cutting edges. The product should have no short unsealed tubes.

The transfer should not use the surface of the product that is easily accessible to children.

Today's solid wood cribs are painted with water-based paint and no paint. The feeling of no paint is safer, but the water-based paint is brighter and easier to clean. Which one is better? â€

Water-based paint is currently a relatively environmentally friendly paint type on the market. As long as the paint is dry, there is no problem of irritating taste. In addition to stain resistance, the paint surface can also protect the furniture. "If there is no paint on the product, The softer texture of pine wood may be destroyed by a child.†For unpainted cribs, although it seems to be superior in environmental performance, it is easily contaminated and difficult to clean.

Sun Shudong said that if the bed is painted with colored paint, there must be heavy metals to prevent the child from biting, this part is still necessary.

“When I picked a crib in the market, I found that many merchants claimed that their products were produced according to European standards. Is it really more reliable for foreign standards? â€
—— Consumers Mr. Zhang’s reporter also found in the market that many merchants have indicated that their cribs are produced according to the European standard, and some do not know what standards are adopted, but they are sure to pass the guarantee. The age range of children's furniture as specified in the General Technical Conditions for Children's Furniture is 3-14 years old. It is obvious that the crib is not within its norm. Which standard is the crib in the country?
Expert Answer: Sun Shudong, Assistant Director of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, introduced the safety requirements and test methods for cribs in QB2453, 1, 2 - 1999, "Children's Cribs and Folding Cribs". This light industry standard is a national mandatory standard. The foreign standards implemented by the merchants in the market are generally EN716-1, 2, which is the standard for cribs established by the European Union. The domestic "family cot and folding cot" is demoulding here. “The safety requirements are basically the same. Regardless of which of the two parts is produced at home and abroad, the safety performance is satisfactory.â€

How to self-check to eliminate the safety hazard of the crib ?
Infants and young children can use a small bed to prevent accidents such as being crushed by their parents while sleeping with their parents. However, a crib with a safety hazard can also cause injury to infants and young children. Investigations have shown that many infant and child injuries are related to cribs, baby fences and cradle. Cui Minyan, chief representative of the Global Child Safety Organization in China, said that parents should thoroughly inspect the crib and promptly rectify the potential dangers.
Check points:
1. Mattress If your two fingers can be inserted into the gap between the mattress and the side fence of the crib, the baby's head may also get stuck there.
Remedy: You can find a blanket, sheets, etc. into a thin roll, and stuff it into the gap between the mattress and the bed fence.
2, the distance between the fence fence and the fence slats should be less than 6 cm, in case the baby's head, hands and feet are stuck in it.
Remedy: If your baby's crib has similar problems, please add slats as appropriate to keep the distance between them within safe limits.
3. The shape of the headboard of the headboard should be simple. There should be no sharp corners or grooves that may wrap around the child's head or get stuck in the neck.
Remedy: Polish the sharp corners and fill the grooves.
4. The side unloading fence ensures that the side unloading part has a reliable safety latch to prevent the child from leaning on, shaking, etc., causing the fence to open or being opened by other older children out of curiosity.
Remedy: Fix the side discharge fence to ensure it is stable under any conditions. In addition, although similar cribs are very common in the Chinese market, parents are advised not to buy cribs with side-loading fences, as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has explicitly banned cribs with side-loading fences in the market in December 2010. Sold on sale.
5. Bolts and nuts The bolts used to secure the crib should pass through the nut. Otherwise, the bolt length is insufficient. Especially for bolts used to support mattresses, if the length is insufficient, it may cause the shelves supporting the mattress to separate and fall apart, resulting in compression and suffocation of the baby.
6. The surface of the bed is recommended to use your fingers (the index finger is often the most sensitive) to slide on the item and touch every part of the baby that you may come into contact with. You can touch the surface to see if the surface is invisible, rough, protruding, and whether the temperature of the surface of the item is easily burnt under normal light.
Remedy: If there are rough, burrs, etc., it needs to be smoothed. Parts that are prone to hot should be replaced or obscured.
7. All paints used in paint should be non-toxic. When purchasing, you should ask the dealer for relevant test reports.
Remedy: Safe and non-toxic tamper-proof strips should be placed in the area where the baby is easy to bite, to prevent the child from biting the bed and hurting the teeth and ingesting harmful substances.
8. Bedding Before the baby can look up for a long time, he should pay special attention to the soft pillows and blankets. When the baby faces down, it may cause suffocation.
Remedy: Do not place stuffed toys in the bed. These soft objects can easily cause the child to suffocate. In addition, the soft mattress can not play much protection, but it is easy to become a safety hazard, so try not to use it.
