OK, so I bought a 2nd hand crib at a resale shop yesterday. I looked it over and my only concern is that it has metal bars to support the mattress vs. metal springs. I think it will be fine, it is very very sturdy and the crib functions well. My only concern is the bars and if there is any safety concern. I checked my BBbook and it mentions that some cribs have metal bars but springs or wood slats are better. I don't see how metal bars are different from wood slats so I think we're fine. Of course BB says don't buy a used crib. :) But I feel like I made a good evaluation of the crib. We are going with a 6" foam mattress.
Does anyone know of any specific concerns with metal bar supports? I will run a check on the brand/model and if I come up with anything concerning I will return it. Thanks!
