I am looking for a resource where I might order Nelson Crib Parts for a drop side Nelson crib.
Hardware I need for the right hand side: the little piece that locks the side into place has broken which means the side can no longer be locked.
I borrowed this crib from friends who want to keep it as an heirloom (in spite of recalls of drop side cribs.
The Nelson baby crib part that I am searching for (it's brown) may actually call for not one but two new parts to replace it with and I really need to find it.

The original pieces from the manufacturer were made of plastic so I think they broke from years of use, being kept in non-climate controlled storage and maybe a little from the weight of my baby boy trying to climb out on that side.
Any help or suggestions from
Unique Baby Gear Ideason where or how to find the replacement parts for a Nelson brand baby bed would be greatly appreciated!

Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of parents better understand crib models, identify missing hardware, and think through general options when replacement parts are needed. Most of the questions I see come from everyday situations like moves, storage cleanouts, or inherited cribs—not from inside knowledge of any manufacturer.
