Safety is the #1 priority at Baby Appleseed

 

“Caring for the future,” means we must nurture our children when they need us the most. Just like the trees we plant on behalf of your children with every crib purchase, protecting babies when they are most vulnerable will ensure a brighter future for them and our planet.

This is why crib safety is the most important guiding principles at Baby Appleseed. Starting from our designs without moving parts to our use of sustainable, eco-friendly materials to our solid wood construction, we are dedicated to producing a product that is safe for your baby, while maintaining a modern, classic style you crave.

All of our furniture exceeds voluntary ASTM standards in addition to CPSC regulations. We also have created our own rigorous quality control program to stay ahead of industry standards.

We voluntarily test our cribs every 6 months to make sure they exceed the highest government standards.
