How far apart do the bars on a crib have to be?

The bars on a crib should be spaced no more than 2-3 inches apart to ensure the safety of a baby. This spacing prevents the risk of the baby getting stuck between the bars or falling out. It's important to adhere to safety standards and guidelines set by organizations such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Always check for updated safety regulations when choosing or using a crib.
