Advantages: Easy to pack, easy to inflate and a cosy bed

Disadvantages: none

Before I even start my review I can hear what some of you are probably thinking and yes, I do have a slight 'In the night garden' theme going on here. Thank my toddler for that, still, an improvement on the Teletubbies I think.
So, back to the issue in hand - the ready bed. We purchased this as an accompaniment to our traveling holiday last summer for our little boy's use of course. We needed something a little more comfortable than a sleeping bag yet something close to the ground that he could not fall off and this was our solution.

*The product*

The ready bed is an inflatable bed that comes packed in its own little carry case along with its own easy to use pump. The perfect little package. The manufacturers recommend that it is best suited for children aged two and above.

*Our verdict*

The bed folds into a relatively small package and fits well along with the foot pump into its neat little carry case. It inflates easily and does not take excessive effort or a large amount of time. When inflated, the bed is a good size. There are bolsters on either side of the bed which prevents the toddler from rolling off and also there is a headboard for added comfort. There is a built in soft and comfortable cover which is soft, cosy and warm. Despite the manufacturers guidelines of being more suitable for two years plus, we used it for our sixteen month old baby and although he could not fall asleep there like in his cot, we found that we could get him to sleep and then he would sleep very comfortably in the bed. For a little person, the bed appears soft and cosy and a very good buy as it is a very versatile travel bed up until around the age of five. My little boy obviously loves it as it has his favourite characters on it. The Tombliboos can be found on the head board and Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy can be found on the cover.
We paid £29.99 for this product from Mothercare which is a reasonable price and we find it to be very good value for money.
A recommended product from us and an easy and versatile product to travel with.

Summary: A veratile travel accessory
