How far apart the spindles are on the crib -- specifically how big is the space between the spindles? Could hands/feet fit through them?

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.

Yes hands and legs fit but you can buy a breathable bumper that works well.

The space between spindles is about two inches. My daughter can put her hand (and sometimes foot) outside of the crib, but we've never had an issue with her getting stuck. In fact, we haven't ever even worried about it because the space between the spindles seems just right. We've been using now for a year and have ABSOLUTLY no complaints.

2", and yes, arms and legs are always in there! Hasn't been too much of an issue, she works herself out :)

I had the same problems as Patrick Calahan and Kristin1724. I emailed back and forth with the manufacturer all day today, and was informed "there will still be a gap on the toddler rail." I've since reported this crib to the CPSC (http://www.saferproducts.gov/Default.aspx) because I believe that the design of the converted toddler bed with the rail gap is unsafe. If I had know about this gap before choosing the crib, I would never have chosen the Babyletto Mercer. I now need to purchase a toddler bed for my 22-month-old.

I'm sorry, we used them on our daughter's full sized bed which is narrower. I do think that you could get away with having a space in between them, for what that's worth.

This particular one only fits the toddler beds and yes crib mattresses-sorry responded so late-I just got this today. Hope this helps-however, walmart. com and amazon have the ones for twin size beds-just put the word twin size and mickey mouse sheets or bed sets-it should bring it up for you- If you cant find them I can gear you to some sites-oh-ebay-is another-have a great day..

I bought a crib online, as well as this mattress which I really like a lot, and have had no problems at all with the length of the mattress. As long as your crib is "standard" size, this mattress should fit. It's a very snug fit, but I believe this is done on purpose for safety reasons. I highly recommend the mattress.

It's a standard size crib (not a mini crib), and twins at birth can fit in any standard size crib. Search the Internet for "twins sharing crib". Once they start rolling, bumping into each other, or kicking off swaddling, it's definitely recommended they get their own standard size crib.

I'm curious about this also. "Standard" crib mattress size may range between 27 5/8" to 28 5/8" wide and 51 3/4" to 54" in length. If someone could give the actual interior dimensions of this crib that would be extremely helpful.

I just measured mine, it is about 27"1/2, but I have a sheet and matteress cover on it. I have a standard size crib and it fits nicely.

We got a padding set and stuff for a regular crib I think. It still fits. I just tucked it under the mattress. I didn't use the pads because I've heard babies just squeeze under them anyways.

My daughter just turned 8 months old and she is too tall for this crib from front to back. She cannot rotate around in it and then gets stuck. I am currently searching for a full sized crib and mattress for her. It was a bad choice for us. She is in the 95th percentile in regards to height. We are a tall family. :) Hope this helps and good luck with your search!

I just measure mine...the legs are ajustable to about 19 to 22 inches...however the seat sits lower then the legs...i first need towels to prop up the babies...but not for long...as for the weight...my guess is like most everything for babies...30 lbs...but i think most babies will need more well before they reach 30 lbs...my twin gandbabies spent lots of time in them...from about 4 months till just this past month..at 8 months...they needed more stimulation then they were getting in the stationary play station...so we just got walkers for them...but both my husband and i feel they were well worth the investment because of all the time it offered us to do something else beside hold them...not to mention how much they both loved sitting in them...hope this helps...

I can't measure it for you exactly as I returned my crib. The paint flaked so badly I was nervous about my child's safety. My poor child-waking up with paint all over just because of rubbing against the wood! And sorelle was not great about handling my complaint...it took weeks to even talk to the correct person instead of random voicemails! However, if I recall correctly it was about 2 inches. Beautiful and sturdy crib. My child just woke up covered in brown sheets of paint!

The attachment that goes through the slat is about 2in. It's on my wooden crib right now and there is plenty of room on either side. It also attaches with the straps for extra support. If your crib has slats, I imagine it would fit.

Another question asked about the dimensions and the reply was that it fit their cradle that was 18" x 36". I have a Jenny Lind style cradle and those are the dimensions of it. So, it should fit the Jenny Lind style cradle. It will not fit on the full size crib though.

Standard mattresses should work, but there are always variances so its safe to measure and check. I just purchased this and the instructions say "Infants can suffocate in gaps between crib sides and a mattress that is too small. ANY mattress used in this crib must be at least 27-1/4in (69cm) by 51-5/8in (131cm) with a thickness not exceeding 6in (15cm) and a minimum thickness of 4in (10cm). The dimensions of the mattress shall be taken from seam to seam or edge to edge where appropriate. " Hope that helps someone on the interwebs.

We do not know anything about Ikea cribs but it seems like it would fit. My daughter's baby bed said to not use anything larger that 27 1/4 x 51 5/8 and thickness no more than 6 in. and with the mattress protector (Carter's Keep Me Dry Fitted Quilted 4-ply Crib Pad, which we also like) fits perfectly without any gaps. Was more than I wanted to pay but very happy with purchase.

Can't remember the size but perfect for a 12-18" doll. Bought it in 2011 for one grand and so happy I bought one last year for my other grand. A part did come in damaged on one and all it took was a phone call and they shipped a replacement part immediately. It's really a beautiful crib. Must have patience though putting it together. I thought it was fun, like a puzzle.
