Can babies' arms fit through the slats?

My one year old grandson loved his "club house", and never tried to put his arm (or leg) through any openings - although I suppose he could have if he really tried. Interestingly, he always reached over the top when he wanted to pat our dog (who always stayed right next to the playpen when he was in in).

The opening is 1 1/2" wide. My son is 1 years old and he can fit his arm through the slats if he turns it sideways.

Yes, you can. It may take you a couple of tries to get it even on all sides(because of the corners). We have a crib skirt on ours right now.

No. It wraps between their legs similar to a diaper so a swaddle wouldn't work.

There is enough room but the small child would probably not be able to reach the foot rest area. Putting the small child in the front would be best, but feet would still not reach.

If you have the bigger size they can as long as the don't move much while they sleep (with supervision). My kid has 15months now and he moves all around so I don't think he would like to share it with anyone! Not enough space for two.

Not if they already can sit up relatively well. But it is kind of a slouchy chair, even for older and bigger kids. We sometimes stuffed a folded up blanket down behind my son's back to help with that.

I'm not sure. Our 1 month old already bumps the sides with his arms, so it may be best to have something wider anyway.

Yes, you would need to invest in some rails if you want to convert it to a toddler bed. The existing sides are too tall.

No. That is probably the only thing I don't like about the crib. However, I bought a couple yards of fleece at Walmart (cheaper than buying a teething guard anyways) and made my own but cutting and tying around the slats. Just google or search for a DIY of this. Overall we still like the crib

we have had no problems with the slats and we have a sixteen year old grandson sleeping in the bed. He dives on the bed, even though I ask him not to. So far so good.

yes. they are certainly big enough; it's all in how you fold it! you might want to use 2 if the child is larger just for more absorbency, like a double thickness for night, etc.

For a bassinet, no. That's about standard for them. By nature, they are smaller. They just aren't meant for bigger babies.

I don't believe so. If I recall correctly it had to go between the slats on the crib.

Arms are not installed but you might want to see if they need to be. The spacing more adaquate for me and I am not a skinny person. You can try it with or without the arms and see which works best for you.Dale

Hands and feet can definitely fit through the spindles but by the time the baby is big enough to roll over and move that much, you could probably have those crib bumpers to avoid that scenario. Id guess the spindles are around 2.5 inches apart.

No I don't think so my daughter is 7 months old and 17 pounds and 25 inches and she barely fits in there. When she slept in it recently while we were in the middle of moving and we hadn't unpacked her crib yet she was very unhappy but she moves around a lot in her sleep. There really wasn't any room in there for her to roll or turn. If your son is super active I would not recommend this. It is very handy with a newborn but I would say that 6 months would be the max age.

I can't be 100% sure but I do not believe so. I would also note that once little people have knocked off the arms and legs they are difficult to put back together and have them stay together.
