Hi there,

Our second child is due in August and we are keen to buy a new cot for this one, the kind that attaches to the parents bed for easy access, night feeds etc. I have seen one on Ricardo that seems to keep reappearing (Polly 2n1) or something like that and sometimes the name varies a bit but it always looks the same, light wood, yellow blanket with single golden teddybear and a cream and yellow tent like structure. The price is really reasonable (about £80) plus £20 shipping charge (from Germany). I just can't seem to find any reviews etc. on the internet. Has anyone heard about this one or can anyone recommend another rollaway cot/attached bed for a baby? I would like it if the cot was big enough to be used up to a year rather than just to 6 mths like some cots.

Thanks in advance!

We used an Ikea Gulliver cot and went for a thicker mattress that made it exactly the same height as our bed. By drilling 4 holes you can adjust it to all any height you want. With one side off and 2x g-clamps we had a huge co-sleeping bed that could be used until age 2+. I saw it on Ikeahacker.com You could add wheels to roll it away, but we just slid it on furniture floor protection pads.

I almost bought a babybay until I saw how small they were - there was only 10cms of growing room.

We didn't have a cosleeper, either, in fact I do not know anyone in Europe who had it, it wasn't so easily found.

But we also used a large IKEA bed, with long, attachable IKEA side bars, so the little one wouldn't roll over. When she got more mobile, we relocated temporarily on a huge mattrace on the floor. So, we had a bunch of places to sleep on, depending on our sleep/feed pattern, work, shifts, etc.

Dizzying selection here...

I've used for both of my children the "arms reach" cot - it is very large, my first son slept in it up until his second birthday! We now moved it back into our room and my second son is sleeping in it.

This is exactly what we did as well. Much cheaper and more versatile than any of the expensive speciality co-sleeper beds.

Hi everyone,

I'm also looking for one of these. The Ikea thing sounds terrific, but I already have a normal cot. I just want a small one for the first few months when the baby sleeps in our room.
Is there maybe anywhere one can rent these?
