Usage & Practicality
How easy is the crib to move or transport?
The cot is simple and quick to assemble/dissemble, folding into a compact bundle for easy transport.
One potential improvement could be the inclusion of a carry bag with a handle, to make transport even more convenient. Still, overall, the cot is very portable.
How stable and safe does the crib feel? (1–5 scale)
5 - It feels incredibly safe and secure, with a solid build that gives real peace of mind. Even with its sturdy design, it still offers a gentle rocking motion-not too much, so it never feels unstable.
Does your baby sleep comfortably in it?
Yes
How would you rate the mattress comfort? (1–5 scale)
The mattress is supportive without being too firm providing a comfortable place for my baby to sleep. It also holds its shape well and feels of high quality.
Did you find the mesh sides useful for visibility and airflow? (Yes/No + comments)
One of my favourite features of this cot is the mesh sides. They offer excellent airflow, keeping the space fresh and comfortable, while also giving me a clear view of my baby at all times. Being able to see in so easily provides peace of mind—reassuring me that my baby is sleeping safely without me having to hover or disturb him. The mesh itself feels sturdy and well-made, adding an extra layer of security.
Everyday Experience
Does it fit well in your bedroom/living space?
The neutral colours and smooth finish give it a modern feel that blends with all areas of my home.
What do you like MOST about the crib?
The rocking motion is another one of my favourites features of the cot. The motion is incredibly smooth and requires almost no effort at all; you can literally set it moving with just one finger. The cot even responds naturally to my baby’s movements. When he stirs or shifts, the cot gives a subtle, gentle sway on its own, encouraging self-soothing.
What do you like LEAST about the crib?
The cot is advertised as suitable for babies up to 6 months, but I do think it’s a bit on the small side so more useful for younger infants or those on the smaller side. However, despite the size, it’s definitely worth it as it’s serves as a multi-functional cot that can be used both at home and on the road.
Safety & Comfort
Do you feel the crib provides a safe sleep environment? (Yes/No + optional comment)
Yes, the breathable mesh sides provide reassurance of my babies safety when in any position.
How does your baby seem to respond to the crib? (Calm, restless, comfortable, neutral)
The cot creates a calm, cozy space that my baby is very content in, whether it’s nap-time or nighttime sleep.
Value for Money
How would you rate the value for money? (1–5 scale)
Whilst the cot is on the pricier side, I do believe it’s worth the cost. The high quality and multifunctional design as a travel cot and everyday cot mean you’re essentially getting two products in one.
Does the product feel premium quality? (Yes/No + comments)
Yes, whilst the design is beautifully simplistic, it still manages to feel incredibly premium. The overall construction has a solid feel providing the sturdiness and reliability of a premium product.
Would you purchase it yourself or recommend it to a friend? (Yes/No)
