The Ready Bed

When we are not working, we like the odd occasional night out, and normally that would involve dropping Ben off to a baby sitters and all the hassle that goes with it. Sometimes Ben is all up for the idea of going to nanny and granddad's and when we first get there he's fine, but when we go to leave he doesn't want to stay, so it's the usual persuasion and then when we do leave, neither of us enjoy ourselves because we feel guilty for leaving him. We decided that the best thing to do was to get some one to come to us instead to look after him, so we did that in the form of one of Steph's ... more

We bought two ready beds - Barbie for my 3 year old daughter, and Bob the Builder for my 5 year old son. Both my children were very excited and couldn't wait to try the beds out. The literature promises that you can blow the bed up, using the hand pump within 4 minutes - this was true - and very easy to accomplish. The bed has an inner part that is inflatable, and fits inside a snug fleecey sleeping bag. You can blow it up full - which in my view is a little hard. My children prefer it slightly soft, which molds better to their bodies. The pillow though is very hard. For my daughter it was an ... more
