The "mini crib" is an umbrella term that covers all cots smaller than the standard size. [14] It means that travel cribs and many play yards can also be called mini cribs. This said, people often use the term for small baby beds with hard sides. Larger infant beds are manufactured, generally for hospital use or for those with special needs.
A crib pier is a type of pier built with the supporting columns made of 'cribs'. [1] Typically a crib is made from wood, but it could be made from any long cylindrical material. Pairs of logs are laid parallel, then others laid over them to make a square, and this continues upwards in a style of building similar to a log cabin 's construction.
The stability of a crib is affected by a variety of factors: the material used (often a soft wood which gives audible warnings before failure), the number of contact points between the crib and the supported surface, the ratio of the footprint of the crib to its height, and the area of contact made between the crib and the ground and supported surface.
