Rationale

The Non-Full-Size Crib/Play Yard Subcommittee received a request to consider changes to the standard to clarify what is to be considered a mattress in a product that has resilient padding material below the floor of the product. A similar request was made to the Bassinet and Cradle Subcommittee who are also developing a ballot for changes similar to those being proposed for non-full-size cribs and play yards in this ballot. The CPSC was consulted in the need for the changes requested and agreed that changes were needed. The subcommittee agreed with the request and a task group was established to develop the proposed ballot being presented here.
