Seeking Child Craft by Smith Parts specifically the crib rods and stabilizer bars. We recently unpacked our baby's Child Craft by Smith baby crib that is in mint condition. We carefully wrapped it so that it could be used for future grandchildren.
Unfortunately, we can not find the crib rods and stabilizer bars (apparatus to raise and lower the sides of the baby bed).
Go here to see an inventory of parts available for a Child Craft by Smith baby crib.
We have both end and sides, but not the operating apparatus.
The crib was manufactured somewhere around 1984.
Can someone please comment where we can purchase the necessary Child Craft by Smith Parts we need to buy to reassemble this wonderful crib?

Hi, I’m Jan — the creator of Unique Baby Gear Ideas. I love helping expecting parents discover nursery décor inspiration and creative photo shoot ideas that make every stage of pregnancy feel beautiful.
Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of parents better understand crib models, identify missing hardware, and think through general options when replacement parts are needed. Most of the questions I see come from everyday situations like moves, storage cleanouts, or inherited cribs—not from inside knowledge of any manufacturer.
I’m not an employee, agent, or representative of any crib brand or retailer, and I don’t sell cribs, mattresses, or parts. I’m also not a medical, legal, or crib safety professional.

Unique Baby Gear Ideas advises everyone to never use drop side baby cribs.This guidance reflects current U.S. safety regulations and applies regardless of a crib’s age or condition.
It is illegal to buy, sell or use a drop side crib. If you own a drop side crib, please disassemble it and dispose of it at the local city or county waste dump.
