If you’re trying to find a specific replacement part like the upper post bracket for your Simmons 1213 crib, here are the steps many parents follow:

🧩 1. Be Certain of Your Exact Model Number

I know you mention the 1213 crib but be absolutely certain before ordering any part. Verify the model number by locating the manufacturer’s label/sticker on the crib. On Simmons cribs this is usually:

On the inside of the headboard

Or under the mattress support frame
This label will list the model number and production date, and is needed when requesting parts.

Even though many Simmons cribs are older, the brand still offers a parts request form/contact support where you can submit your model number and photos. This gives you the best chance of getting an exact-fit bracket:

If Simmons doesn’t have the exact bracket ask if
universal or generic crib hardware kits (often include brackets, bolts, and posts) might work.

Crib parts retailers sometimes have miscellaneous brackets and tracks sold separately or by measurement match.

Quick tip: Always confirm with the manufacturer or seller that any replacement part will fit your specific model before purchase — especially with older cribs where parts vary widely.

The best way to request genuine Simmons hardware
is on the official Simmons support/parts page:

Simmons directs you to fill out a replacement-parts request. You’ll need to find your crib’s model number, which is typically on a label inside the headboard.

If your crib is discontinued (but not part of a recall or unsafe for any other reason), many parents have had success searching third-party retailers (or even listing a "want ad") on sites that stock older crib parts.

Because cribs are very safety-critical, it is always recommended to get the correct part from the manufacturer or a qualified supplier, rather than improvise with generic parts.

If you just lost brackets or small hardware (bolts, nuts, connectors, etc.), some of the universal kits may work — though you’ll want to verify compatibility first (match bolt size, bracket shape, crib post spacing, etc.).

⚠️ Safety Warning & My Strong Recommendation

Because cribs — especially older ones like a 1991 model 1213 — are safety-critical, you should:

First try to get the proper replacement parts from the manufacturer (via the method above).

If you use after-market or "universal" hardware, verify that bolt sizes, bracket alignment, and overall stability meet safety standards for infant cribs (no loose bolts, no wobble, correct alignment).

If you cannot confidently match parts or confirm stability — consider replacing the crib, especially if it's old or missing multiple pieces.
