A piece of baby gear doesn’t have to expensive to make your life better. In fact, for every pricey item you’ll find on store shelves, there’s probably a cheaper counterpart that works just as well — in some cases, even better. We’ve certainly found that price doesn’t necessarily predict performance while testing and reviewing products and gear at BabyCenter. In fact, we tested some very expensive items that turned out to be hunks of junk; and some very reasonable products that did every single thing we wanted. So it didn’t really surprise us to see how many of the winners and finalists in BabyCenter’s 2016 Moms’ Picks were $50 and under. Here’s the list of all the highlighted products if you’re in a hurry; the slideshow has where-to-buy information and more details. $12.74 Safety 1st Simply Secure Doorway Gate $16.99 Safety 1st Wood Security Gate $19.98 Graco Backless Turbobooster $19.99 Babies “R” Us Lightweight Umbrella Stroller

And also because almost every one of the products in those categories are under $50. But if you check those categories out, you’ll definitely find the best-loved models.
