Bassett Crib Parts Identification Help

You’re doing the right thing by starting with identification first. With older Bassett cribs, especially when the original manual is missing, the safest approach is to confirm the exact model and learn the correct names of the components before making guesses about what may or may not be missing.

This general reference page may help you identify the terminology used for crib components:
crib parts identification guide

That page explains common crib part names and can make it easier to compare what you have to the original configuration of the crib.

If you are able to locate a model number, label, or stamped information on the crib, that will usually be the best starting point for narrowing down the correct documentation.

Older cribs with moving side components (often called drop-side designs) are no longer considered safe for use, so identification is especially important when reviewing older models.

I hope this helps you.
