Inventor and mother Katherine Merlin has designed a safe crib – one which eliminates the hazards of standard cribs.
With a U.S. patent and European and Canadian patents pending, Katherine Merlin has created the world's safest crib.
"Your baby usually will be unattended when in his crib, so this should be a totally safe environment. Falls are the most common injury." (American Academy of Pediatrics)
"Every year there are over 11,000 crib injuries and more than 26 deaths due to crib accidents in the United States. In fact, more children die from unsafe cribs than all other juvenile products combined." (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)
