Because babies bang themselves on the sides of cribs and they chew on them.

Plus, they look kind of institutional to me. Wood is warmer.

I think a new iron crib would be ok. You wouldn't have to worry about formeldyhyde or lead paint. The teething issue could be a problem I suppose.

But if you are buying a new iron crib, why not? Go with what you like.

Iron cribs remind me of hospitals and institutions where they house unwanted infants. I LOATHE them.

Just my opinion, but I think they look cheap.


WAY more expensive actually

I think they're more expensive than wood, they're harder (if you hit the head or teeth on it) and heavier to push around. No safety issues.

If you want one, buy a new one off Amazon. I think the worry is that the very old ones have larger spaces between slats than the modern ones do.

I haven't read much, anything really, about the safety of iron cribs. I was trying to find a crib made in US but that seems difficult. Are iron cribs more dangerous? Less dangerous? Less desirable?
Even after reading Baby Bargains, I'm still confused on what to do about a crib.
