Short Stature and Non-drop-side cribs--Need Advice!

I was just about to get a new crib for my six-month-old son. He's been in a bassinet so far, but is rapidly outgrowing it. With my older son we've LOVED our drop-side, but a) he's still using it as a toddler bed and b) it's just been recalled. So I was all set to get another drop-side, but this recall has really scared me. My problem is that I am 5'2" on a good day, and my back and shoulders do sometimes bother me. Also, my baby is 19 lbs already! I think I can handle just lifting him over the side, but nervous to make a decision too...
