Safe Sleep Photo Album
We know that finding infant safe sleep photos is hard. That is why Cribs for Kids created our Lifestyle Safe Sleep photo gallery. This gallery features photos taken by Cribs for Kids. Our partners can use these pictures on their websites, social media, and print materials. All that we ask is that you kindly photocredit cribsforkids.org. or @cribsforkids if shared on social media.
Support Your Program with Safe Sleep Products
To support public safety initiatives, safe sleep products and education items are available for Cribs for Kids’ Partners to purchase. Though the use of Cribs for Kids products is not a requirement, all purchases support Cribs for Kids’ free programs and allow us to continue our mission to reduce SUID and Help Every Baby Sleep Safer.
Cribs for Kids’ products promote AAP safe sleep recommendations, meet safety requirements set by the CPSC, ASTM, JPMA, and are absent of recalls (https://www.saferproducts.gov).
Review our Virtual Product catalog to see items available for purchase including education and teaching materials, wearable blankets, Cribettes, unit specialty items, and more.

Infant Safe Sleep Dispatch Newsletter
Once a quarter, Cribs for Kids delivers the virtual Infant Safe Sleep Dispatch Newsletter directly to first responders as part of our National Public Safety Initiative. The monthly newsletter connects a network of first responders, sharing important updates on infant safe sleep, national and local news, innovative practices from the field, upcoming events, new products, and recognition of efforts in promoting safe sleep for infants.
