Rock-a-bye cheaply -- the best cribs for under $200
By Kara Reinhardt, Cheapism.com
Celebrity watchers crave even the slightest bit of news on the baby girl born last month to music moguls Beyonce and Jay-Z. No detail is too small, down to reports that she sleeps in an ultramodern Lucite crib with a $3,500 price tag. Lucky for parents without endorsement deals and top-grossing world tours, high-quality cribs can be had for less than $200.
Whether they’re made of transparent acrylic or regular old wood, new cribs must conform to standards set in 2011 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission . The CPSC requires all models to undergo rigorous safety testing and has outlawed traditional drop-side cribs, which let parents lower one of the rails and lift the baby out. On cribs with fixed sides, the height of the mattress can typically be adjusted depending on the age of the child, so it sits highest for a newborn and lowest for an active toddler. If you’re short or have a bad back, more mattress levels can help ensure you’ll be able to reach over the rail to pick up the child.
