Brio Bedside Cot Reviews

This is the most wonderful invention ever. I have had mine for 6.5 years and it has done 3 kids. You don't have to get out of bed when the baby wakes up if you are breast feeding you just shuffle your baby over and then either fall alseep or push your baby back over. When you put your baby down for a nap put all four sides up and you ...  Read the complete review

I co-slept with my first two children, and bought a Brio (now global) bedside cot for the third, thinking he'd have a safe daytime sleep spot out of reach of his rampaging brothers, and more room in bed for me plus if a big brother clambered in. We used it for him (although he usually ended up snuggled next to me like the big brothers), tried but ...  Read the complete review

We really like co-sleeping. Our baby daughter is a little cuddle monster, and especially now, in the clingy stage from seven months onward, having her in with us makes it far easier to tend to her at night. Since I'm breastfeeding on cue, she can basically crawl up to me and serve herself should she feel peckish ;) Even before the ...  Read the complete review

It was really tricky to construct, and even ...  Read the complete review

We bought a Brio Bedside Cot before our son was born. It seemed like a nice compromise between having him in our bed, and having him in another cot. He would sleep in his cot, but right next to our bed. I could just roll over to breastfeed in the night, rather than getting out of bed. The last part was true - I did just breastfeed in bed, ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't sure that a bedside cot was the right option for me, but I liked the styling of the Brio Bedside and the fact that it is made out of beech (most cots seem to be made of pine) so I decided to give it a try. I figured that I could always just use it as a normal cot if I didn't like it as a three-sided cot... In the event I ...  Read the complete review

We bought this cot when our daughter outgrew her moses basket(which she hardly slept in,prefering our bed!).I managed to put it together on my own although it would have been even easier with two of us.You can line up the base to match the height of your bed but buy the mattress first. (Not included). The wheels can be locked on and the cot side ...  Read the complete review

I had already had a cot loaned to my when I had my daughter, but when she developed eczema and had trouble sleeping at night, I decided to take her into bed with me, so that I could soothe her back to sleep quickly and get back to sleep myself. However, what I found was, that although she slept better in bed with me, I found it really ...  Read the complete review
