Used v New Cheap Baby Cribs

How you go about buying a cheap baby crib is up to you. There are many different options available to you, for instance you can buy one which is second hand. A lot of people don't like the idea of using products that someone else had used but the fact remains that they are a lot cheaper than buying new and the money you save can go on other more important expenses. Even if you do want to buy new there are still options available to you. There are many brands of baby cribs that are fairly cheap such as Storkcraft, DaVinci and Angel Line. They are very reasonably prices and come in different styles along with a number of safety features that come as standard.

The main reason people don't like the idea of buying a used crib is that there is no guarantee with it and people feel that it's a risk they don't want to take. It's impossible to know if the crib has been well looked after or if the particular model was recalled due to safety concerns. There have been some companies that have had to recall their cribs for this reason, these companies include Graco, Basset and Simplicity. The problem was that the designs were flawed and there were a number of reports of babies being injured or even dying. The good news is that when these flaws were discovered the companies moved very quickly to have the cribs replaced. Huge publicity campaigns were launched to ensure that people found out about the problems.

However there is always the risk that some people didn't notice the campaign or didn't bother to do anything about it. You may unwittingly buy a crib that should have been returned but wasn't, and of course, safety should always be at the forefront of your mind when your children are concerned.

So it's for these reasons you may decide to pay the extra and buy a brand new baby crib which is affordably priced. The good thing is that in the US there are a number of safety requirements that manufacturers have to adhere to so you can be sure you are getting a quality items. Things that manufacturers have to do include, using non-toxic paint, solid panels at the ends of the crib, have a particular spacing between the spindles and slats.

When buying cheap baby cribs make sure you look out for the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification which both DaVinci and Storkcraft have. So although they may be cheap, they meet the excellent safety standards just as well as the more pricey brands available on the market.

The Jenny Lind style of crib is very popular and many manufacturers make it, however the one you can buy from DaVinci is only about $200. They styling of the Jenny Lind crib is very simplistic and classic however many other brands will charge a lot more than this even although you don't necessarily get any better quality.

Another popular model from DaVinci is the Sytems Alpha crib which costs even less than the Jenny Lind crib. It's a vest simple crib but lovely all the same and offers the ability to convert it into a bed for a toddler so you should be able to get a good few years of use from it.

Another option you should consider is the Baby Rochester Crib from Storkcraft which offers a very elegant design. Again, with this crib you can covert it into either a day bed or a double bed. There is also a storage drawer underneath and the ability to position your mattress in three different ways.

This is by no means a comprehensive guide to buying cheap baby cribs, it's just to give you an idea of what it available and what your options are. There are many places you can buy cheap baby cribs, particularly online.
