Young America takes pride in the safety of its furniture for kids. This is one company that realizes that safety is most important with function and form next. Young America has been delivering children with lovely furniture for over 80 years. Every crib and bed made by Young America either meets or exceeds CPSC and JPMA regulations and ASTM standards.
What all that experience and all those initials mean is that Young America makes some of the safest children's furniture available. Any paint or finish used on a bed is 100% non-toxic, just in case your little one wonders what the bed tastes like. Crib slats are arranged close together to prevent little body parts from getting caught and bed parts are strongly constructed to prevent accidents from happening. Many cribs are developed to be converted to a toddler bed and some even convert into a twin. When convertible, those designs come with guard rails and other safety features to keep little ones secure as they change from one bed mode to the other. Each of these beds are so well constructed that they are sure to become family heirlooms.
Since your child will spend so much of her time snoozing when young, you may be worried about air quality. To ensure that their beds and cribs are as safe as possible for your baby or young kid, Young America has been seeking certification from Greenguard Children and Schools Certification. Greenguard Environmental Institute is a non-profit organization specializing in indoor air quality. More specifically Greenguard is concerned about the emissions that come off of baby and youth bedroom and other furniture.
Last year Young America approached Greenguard about crib and bed safety. In just one year, Young America's cribs all meet Greenguards standards and 75% of their beds do. Young America's goals are to have 100% of its beds become Greenguard certified. Once the beds are certified, Young America will work on bringing their other lines up to Greenguard's strict standards. Once Young America is 100% Greenguard certified, it could be the safest line of children's furniture on the industry.
