Seeking Child Craft by Smith Parts specifically the crib rods and stabilizer bars. We recently unpacked our baby's Child Craft by Smith baby crib that is in mint condition. We carefully wrapped it so that it could be used for future grandchildren.

Unfortunately, we can not find the crib rods and stabilizer bars.


We have both end and sides.

The crib was manufactured somewhere around 1984.

Can someone please comment where we can purchase the necessary Child Craft by Smith Parts we need to buy to reassemble this wonderful crib?

You’re right to be cautious here because those rods and stabilizer bars were part of the side-movement system used on many older Child Craft by Smith cribs, and they’re not something you want to try to piece together or substitute.

For cribs from around 1984, that hardware was usually:

model-specific
part of a matched system
not sold separately even when new

So it’s very difficult to find exact replacements today.

If your goal is to identify what the original parts were called and how they were configured, these pages can help with the terminology and layout:

Those should help you match what you have to the correct component names and understand how the system was originally designed.

Because the rods and stabilizer bars control how the side moves and locks, it’s important not to try to recreate or substitute those pieces without manufacturer documentation. These systems were engineered as a set, and small differences can change how the crib functions.

It may also help to review basic crib safety information before making any decisions about an older model like this:

If anyone still has original documentation for a Child Craft by Smith crib from that timeframe, or remembers how that hardware system was configured, that kind of information would be the most helpful here.
