Built To Grow™ (BTG) grow means safe, real furniture that grows with your child - from a baby crib to a Toddler Bed, then into a regular Twin Bed or Full Bed. Young America BTG products are designed, engineered and built for exceptional quality and safety. It’s the safest sleeping solution - and best value - for a growing family.

Here’s a glimpse of how BTG works:

Young America furniture knows that when it comes to babies and kids, you can’t be too safe. Here are the safety guidelines we follow - and that you may want to keep in mind when you’re shopping for cribs, beds and other bedroom furniture for your child.

All Young America furniture features our exclusive SafeT3™ design — three levels of safeguards for product and environmental safety that have been certified by an independent expert. This means safety for your child.

1. Safety engineered
Young America furniture developed its own system of safety features that surpass even the most stringent mandatory or voluntary product safety guidelines.

2. Safety built
Safety begins at home. Young America furniture is made in our Robbinsville, North Carolina factory, which gives us an unparalleled level of quality control when it comes to building in safety.

3. Safety certified
Our superior level of safety standards meet or exceed those set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and JPMA and ASTM.

Additional Safety Certification
In addition to our exclusive SafeT3™ design we’ve gone beyond to work voluntarily with two third party organizations: Intertek and the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute to ensure the safety of our furniture - specifically of our baby cribs. We believe a safe choice is a smart choice. Read more

We work with Intertek, the leading independent third party certification lab for safety and design of consumer products. Intertek helps us go beyond testing, inspecting and certifying our baby cribs. We reduce risk by incorporating manufacturing principles and processes that ensure consistency and reliability. 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 furniture brand. So look for the “Intertek Check” when you’re buying a Young America baby crib.

To ensure the safest indoor environments for your children, Young America baby cribs are GREENGUARD Certified. Products that receive the GREENGUARD Children and Schools^SM certified mark have been independently tested and met the most rigorous chemical emissions standards in the world.

Children are more susceptible to pollutants than adults because they are growing and breathe in proportionately more air. This means indoor pollutants, such as certain chemicals, particles and allergens, can cause more severe health effects in children.
