why buy Young America? it's safe and smart.
Young America’s commitment to safety leads the industry. Our furniture is designed and constructed to be the safest, most durable you can buy. Our finishes are child-safe and meet all federal guidelines for lead content.
Our company officials are actively involved not only with the government’s agency (CPSC), but also the American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM) and many other voluntary product safety organizations instrumental in setting new standards. Unlike many companies in our industry, we are pushing for, not fighting against, increased regulation and tougher, more stringent standards that reach into areas not yet even shown to have caused accidental injuries or deaths to children. Rather than wait for new legislation to be introduced by our industry’s governing bodies, we implement safety standards into our manufacturing and engineering processes before they become law.
Another important point on product safety: We’re moving beyond the published standards to create Young America’s own branded set of safety standards for all other brands to follow, a set of standards for all consumers to trust.
Then there’s the third level of safety assurance; and this is where Young America leads the industry. Intertek, the leading independent third party certification lab for safety and design, helps us go beyond testing, inspecting and certifying products. We reduce risk by incorporating manufacturing principles and processes that ensure consistency and reliability. We mitigate mistakes that can result in a quality or safety issue. Our work with Intertek has earned not only a reputation for value in our products, but an increased level of trust for the Young America brand. Our goal when it comes to safety is simple: We provide our customerswith confidence. So look for the “Intertek Check” when you’re buying a crib for your child. You’ll certainly find it here.
YOUNG AMERICA IS SERIOUS ABOUT PRODUCT SAFETY.
Young America cribs are tested to strict manufacturing safety standards-as all cribs should be. We go one step further, however, by checking design integrity with an independent testing provider.
Young America not only meets, but exceeds all CPSC and JPMA regulations as well as ASTM voluntary standards. We’re moving one step further, creating our own branded set of safety standards surpassing even the most stringent mandatory or voluntary product safety guidelines. This ensures every Young America crib is the safest it can be for infants.

Handy when underbed options are utilized, and bed rails are in Hi-lock position or a transition bed configuration. Each wood slat fastens with screws providing support without the need for a box spring or a bunkie board. Your mattress rests directly on the slat roll.
Taller cases feature our anti-tipping kit that can secure the backs of cases to the wall deterring dangerous tipping.
Keeping toys and clothes put away can be a challenge with any child. (Not to mention a tripping hazard!) The Underbed Storage Drawer keeps these items off the floor but within reach.
Quality. One Stands for Trust. The Other for Pride.
