The top edge of the end panels of the Omar crib is an inverted "U" shape and these panels are adjustable in height.

In addition, when the mattress support is in its lowest position and the side rail is in its highest position, the bottom of the side rail is higher than the mattress support, creating a gap where a child's foot could be caught.
