Simmons Little Folks Crib Parts Identification (Model 1409 89 53)

The Simmons Little Folks crib model 1409 89 53 referenced here includes drop-side hardware components such as drop-side rods, support handles, brackets, and related fasteners. These parts were originally used to allow one side of the crib to move up and down.

Drop-side cribs are no longer considered safe and are banned from manufacture and sale in the United States due to serious safety risks associated with hardware failure and detachment.

This page is provided for parts identification only. It is not a guide for repairing, replacing parts, or restoring a drop-side crib for use.

Important Safety Note: A crib with missing or failing hardware should be treated as unsafe. Do not attempt to repair or use a drop-side crib, even if replacement parts appear to match. These designs can fail unexpectedly and create a risk of injury or entrapment. See my drop-side crib safety guide and my crib parts identification hub for more information.
