Yes, but are they safe? Looks like the right size for a good strangle hold between the bars...

careful here. In keeping with what Dave pointed out, many of these don't meet current regulations & the descriptions on ebay acknowledge that. they say things like "perfect for your dolls" or "perfect for a dog bed", etc.

The bed in the picture is lovely, but looks like a deathtrap. I'd be afraid to let my dog lie in it, much less a child. Line it with plastic and use it as a wine cooler.

Consumer Reports advises against purchasing second hand cribs, both for the updated safety regulations mentioned above, as well as the unknown abuse a used crib may have endured.
