I need to find replacements for some plastic ear brackets for our Simmons crib that have been misplaced.

The ear brackets are for my baby's Simmons Crib model 1519 84 23.

The brackets are plastic and have little "ears" or "lips" on the strip as seen in the picture of the part above.

The plastic bracket strip is used to adjust the height of the crib's mattress.


Without this part, the mattress will have no support whatsoever.

If anyone has any suggestions for a resource that carries these plastic strips, please contact me using the space below including your contact information.

starstarstarstarstar 		How to Replace Plastic Ear Brackets for a Simmons Crib (Model 1519 84 23)
by: Anonymous

Replacement plastic ear brackets for a Simmons crib like Model 1519 84 23 can still be located even when the originals are missing. These plastic strips with "ear" or "lip" features are part of the mattress height adjustment system and were used on many Simmons crib models of that era.

See compatible crib mattress support hardware and replacement brackets here

When ordering replacements, compare the bracket strip length, ear/lip placement, and hole spacing to your existing crib frame so you get a secure and stable fit for the mattress support system.

by: Home Despot

We didn't find this part anywhere, but a little imagineering brought us to this alternative- use a pipe hanger (1/2 in) and mount it to the crib rails in place of the brackets and they hold the mattress assembly in place nicely.

Buy 4 of them from Home Despot:

by: Anonymous

I have looked at the expensive replacement ear brackets that some have recommended in the comments and wonder if buying them for an older baby crib is a wise investment.

Another parent posted that he was going to DIY and make his own brackets.

I have to wonder if that is a good idea, too.

These metal brackets are expensive, but this metal version that are for sale on this site is the only thing I have found to replace the brackets on our crib.

Hope this helps!
