[quote=Anonymous]We have an iron crib. It's from brat decor, but a discontinued model. We've never had any of the safety issues pps have mentioned. We didn't use bumpers.

With respect to the teething issues, I agree with a pp that kids are less likely to teeth on metal, and not only that, but I wouldn't be super excited if my kids were gnawing on stained wood, either. As for chipping teeth or bonking their head, I also didn't really think that the iron was going to be that much harder. Maybe I've been lucky with my kids, but they really haven't knocked their heads into their cribs in any significant way.

The cribs aren't as heavy as you'd expect, either.

Fwiw, I consider myself a fairly safety conscious mom. I'm not going to list everything because people will just get defensive (although I will note that at least one person looked at me like I was insane when I was talking about the sids precautions we took), but the worries about iron cribs seemed a bit much to me. And in my real life experience, I haven't had a single issue mentioned here.[/quote]
