High quality bedside or stand-alone cot
Review of Cosatto Olivia Bedside Cot by
dorsetmum
Advantages: Sturdiness & bedside design
Disadvantages: Slight gap between my mattress & the cot mattress
...any of us!
The Cosatto Olivia bedside cot attracted us as you can completely remove one side of the cot, so you can pull the cot right up to the side of your bed. It is suitable for babies from birth.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS COT:
* My baby seemed to like sleeping near to us, but within her own space. It was also easy to feed her, then pop her back into her cot without disturbing her
* The base position of the mattress can be fairly easily altered ... ...high quality solid beech wood and therefore feels sturdy and safe
* It was relatively easy to put together (although I would recommend you need a second pair of hands to help with the fiddly screws)
* The drop-side of the cot smoothly and neatly drops down along runners and stores safely underneath the cot
* Plastic protective teether rail to protect little teeth and the wood!
* Looks attractive and smart
DOWNSIDE:
* This may be a problem which ...

Cosatto Stratford Cot Bed
Review of Cosatto Stratford Cot Bed by
YORKSTER22
Advantages: quality, value
Disadvantages: few
A nice cot bed. We chose the antique pine one and are pleased with the wood and the finish, The varnish is a little shiny for our taste but I guess that's the price of having wipe clean wood.
It has 3 mattress height positions, drop side, teething rails and the footboard splits for when you need to change it from a cot to a bed.
A disadvantage is that it doesnt have a one handed drop down method like many other cots do,so to drop the side you have ... ...niggle not a huge problem.
I built it easily on my own without the instruction book.Some how it arrived to us without the book but to cosatto's credit they swiftly replied to my complaining email with a copy of the instructions. Isn't it nice when a firm actually responds to emails for once?
we bought the cot from the glasgow pram centre during their sale for £140 inc mattress ...

Review of Mamas & Papas Moses Basket - Meadow by
lulu2004
Advantages: Very cosy, roomy and washes well
Disadvantages: You wont get very long from this as a first bed
...the Meadow interiors range from Mamas and Papas. If you are looking for this at the moment you will find it at great prices, as they seem to be having a sale at the moment. I know that usually means that the colour way is on its way out to be replaced with something newer, but personally I had already decided on this particular range long before I heard about the sale… perfect timing for me!
I just loved the crisp lemon tones- much more lively than ... ...well. So by considering a Mamas and Papas basket I was effectively doubling what I had paid before, but if you placed the two baskets beside each other you would see a very obvious difference in quality.
Another aspect that swayed me towards buying a basket instead of a crib was that at all the scans I had been told this was a small baby, whereas my first had been a large baby and so I reasoned that being a smaller than average baby at 7lb meant ...

Review of Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot by
sarahwebster
Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: little fidily to put up and down the first few times
i bought the contour electra duluxe ine geometric design after considering lots of other travel cots. i decided to get this one as i think it looks very stylish and had been told that the matteress seemed very comfy. i managed to find it on a website(presious little ones) for £106 so the top of the range for nearly the price of the standard version! it arrived quickly and i soon was putting it together. it took a little while to initially set up ... ...and down! the matress is lovely and came with a protecter. the bassinett just pops in and out and takes a lot of weight i have caught myself leaning on it a few times! its very sturdy i will be very happy to use it as a play pen once my little monkey is older. the changing station is very handy to store things but a full pack of baby wipes wont fit into the dispenser but the smaller handbag packs should fit. we took our first camping holiday this ...

My baby will Rock!
Review of Boori Country Matilda Rocker by
kezziefaerie
Advantages: excellent quality, practical and beautiful design
Disadvantages: no locking system to stop rocking
As soon as I saw this beautiful rocking crib I just knew I had to have it!
I spotted it in a shop called Baby & Co in Keynsham near Bristol, they also have a website you can visit. I fell in love with it immeadiatly but at £220, couldn't buy it right then. I visited the shop several more times and every time I went straight to the rocker and hoped I would soon own it! So when I went back the next time and saw it had been reduced to £189.99 I knew ... ...were not getting this product in again so had just the two left to sell. I put a deposit down straight away and arranged to come back and collect it the following week. I knew I wanted a rocking crib as I thought this would be a great way to gently rock the baby to sleep and help settle her easily. I chose this particular one because it glides, keeping the baby horizontal rather than at an angle which I felt would be safer as theres no danger of ...
