Advantages: small size, looks more stable than moses basket, not expensive

Disadvantages: mine does not lock securely, lasts to about 4 months

This looks like the same crib I bought, sold in John Lewis as the Anna Swinging Crib, made by global nursery products.

I chose it because we don't have room for a cot and I wasn't sure that a Moses basket would be stable enough. In terms of its size the crib is just right. my baby is 3 months and not yet grown out of it, i am just now thinking about buying a cot.

it was a little fiddly to assemble but not too bad, just make sure it is done before you come home from hospital. instructions could have been better.

my baby has never seemed to like the swinging feature so i keep it in the locked position. this was fine at first, but a few weeks ago it started to unlock in the middle of the night, waking up a baby that would otherwise sleep through! i think this happens because the baby brings her knees up to her chest and wiggles around a lot, and it shakes the securing peg loose. i have now tied something around the peg to stop this happening as it seemed unsafe and this is better but it still makes a rattling noise when baby is moving around - she sleeps through it but i do not. have not yet complained to the store about it so not sure if there is a remedy.

if it was better locked into position then this would be a great buy.
