What is a “bedside crib”?

According to the definitions in 16 CFR Part 1222 and ASTM F2906, a bedside crib (Bedside Sleeper) refers to: Structural features: a combination of a rigid frame, which may be combined with a fabric or mesh material, or both, used for the sides, end, or bottom of a bedside crib.

Usage: It can be securely attached to the edge of an adult bed.

Purpose of Use: To provide a sleep environment for infants.


Testing and certification requirements.

Third-party testing: Testing must be conducted by a third-party laboratory accredited by the CPSC to ensure compliance with the standards for bedside cribs and all other applicable safety requirements for children’s products.

Child Product Certificate (CPC): Domestic manufacturers or importers must issue a Child Product Certificate (CPC) based on third-party testing results, detailing each applicable requirement and demonstrating that the product meets those requirements. In Part 2 of the CPC (References to Standards), the following must be clearly stated: “16 CFR part 1222 – Bedside sleepers.”
