>SANDRA BARRERA CRIB crib a rack or manger in a stable. crib-biting a neurosis or acquired habit in stabled horses characterized by stereotypic behavior. CHANGING MADE EASY Mom Mary Amato was tired of the work required to change crib bedding: first removing all of the bumper ties and toys from the bedding; then squeezing her fingers into the tight space between the mattress and the crib to lift the mattress. It's an ordeal in the best of situations, let alone in the middle of the night with a crying baby needing to get back to sleep. So Amato took matters into her own hands and created the Quick Change Crib. With the footboard of the crib opening like a door, the crib mattress can easily slide out from under all the bumpers and mobiles in the crib. No lifting is required, and the whole changing process takes less than a minute. The door latches close to keep the crib safe for the baby. The Quick Change Crib is made of birch and comes in a choice of six finishes: swan white, French vanilla, natural honey, wet cinnamon, espresso and black onyx. It's available for $349 at www.innovativecribdesigns.com. >ANGELA LU TRENDY TEAM Fashion Bug and Gitano share a commitment to trendy fashion at affordable prices.
