Amby Natures Nest Sheet Set

Advantages: Snug and cosy, can be used as a travel bed, baby sleeps!
Disadvantages: Very expensive and unusual

...it could have been coincidence, but she immediately started sleeping well when we put her in the hammock. She would fall asleep easily, only wake for breastfeeding, and then fall straight back to sleep when put back in the bed. - The baby does look lovely and cosy in the bed - much more so than in a cot or moses basket - You can help get your baby off to sleep by rocking and bouncing - The bed looks nice - you have a choice of fabrics, we chose a natural cotton which we found much more attractive than the flouncy version pictured here - Because of the height of the hammock I could look directly at my baby from bed - Although quite big the bed folds down flat into its own bag and is very easy to put up/down so its easy to travel with Disadvantages: - Its very expensive - we paid about £150 - We found it outlived its usefulness at about 7...

Advantages: lightweight, easy to use, versatile
Disadvantages: zip noise could wake a lightly sleeping baby

...We bought this travel cot before the arrival of our own little one, as we had friends flying over to visit us with their one year old and they didn't have space in their luggage for their own (traditional) travel cot.

It took quite a lot of time to set up as you have to firstly relax the inflateable tyre and place in the material, and then blow the tyre up taking about 20 minutes with good breathe. I then passed it on to my cousins little girl and she was a lot smaller than Hana and she has had a lot more use out of it. I suggest that if the baby is strong and slightly bigger than the average baby then the value of the Baby Nest would not be worth buying brand new, but if the baby is small then it is ideal. Nevertheless, Hana got some use out of it after crawling out, she would sit on her knees on the outside of the nest and still play with the toys and squeeky bits.... Read review
