bedside cot

[purple13]

anyone got one?? are they worth it?

connor's in his travel cot at the moment, having grown too wiggly for his crib - not that he stays in his own bed for long anyway - but i'm determined to eventually get my side of the bed back and reckon a bedside cot could be the way forward

anyone got an opinion? it would probably have to be his bed for a year or so - are they big enough?

thanks!!

I've got a normal sized cot I move over nearer bedside at night once I go to bed. During the day it gets moved back over against the wall. Works fine for us. I keep it about a foot from the bed so I can get in and out and LO is quite happy in there.

We were going to get one but decided against it. Our reasons were:

It would be hard to get out of bed - I'd have to wriggle to the end before I could get out.

It might be easy to accidentally cover LO in our covers.

I find it much harder to pick her up if she is lying beside me - I prefer to stand or sit with my legs dangling (like on a chair or sitting on the edge of the bed)

I wouldn't be able to have a bedside table - no lamp, water, moistuiser, lipsalve, phone.... in easy reach. If I did have a bedside table it would be even harder to get out of bed.


They are the size of normal cots so you would get more than a year out of it. Boots online often have them reduced. They are just not for us.

cheers guys

we've already got a cotbed but its just too big for our bedroom - saving that one for when we move house and connor has his own room.

the reason i was looking at the bedside cot is so that feeding is still easy - i don't wanna get out of bed i've got a shelf for my lamp & water etc and connor's bed will fit underneath it

i'll go check out boots online - i always forget about them - thank you!

I didn't even know they existed! Just looked them up on ebay. They'd actually make my life easier.
