Do babies need a budget?

I remember seeing how much baby items cost while in America and the horror I felt when I came back to Australia. In my mind, a cot/crib was about $200 - after all it's just wood (or metal) and a mattress. Boy, was I wrong. Take a look at this 'Baby on a Budget' cot:

And then take a look at this Walmart alternative

Sure, they are not identical - I never said they were, but for the price difference, do you honestly care? Baby on a budget? Yeah, a bloody big budget!
