Question by Donna Wray: Would you use an antique crib if it met modern safety standards?
I am planning on using a victorian iron crib. It has been stripped and repainted. We have had a custom mattress made to fit the crib. We live in an old victorian brick home, and have kept all the furniture inside antique. My husband still thinks we should get a new crib.

Most def would I use an antique crib.. I think it would be soo beautiful!!!
A carefully inspected antique crib, free of known bugaboos like chokable finials and too-wide bars that’s seen many babies safely through infancy probably has better odds than a modern one with their ridiculously high rate of recalls… Really, for any baby equipment, thoughtful, careful, loving parents doing a thorough inspection beats placing your faith in a factory.
Yes it sounds very beautiful.
lol
Good luck with all antique furniture and a child.
That sounds lovely! If it meetse all current safety requirements then i would definately use it! I LOVE antique cribs and strollers etc.
