What Are The Benefits Of The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot?
- Many customers really liked how the cot could be adjusted gently to make the transition from crib to toddler bed as easy as possible
- The overall weight limit of 100 kg is one of the most impressive limits on the market
What Are The Drawbacks Of The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot?
- Some parents didn’t like how easily marks showed up on the white cot and therefore how often they found themselves cleaning it
Are There Any Accessories Included With The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot?
Unfortunately, the Babyhood Georgia Sleigh doesn’t come with any accessories, so you’ll need to buy anything you want to use with the cot separately. This includes the mattress size, so make sure you choose one of the correct size! This should be 129.5 x 69 cm, with a minimum thickness of 10 cm. One feature we love about the Georgia Sleigh cot is that it comes with a bonus toddler rail so you don’t have to worry about your little one falling out of the bed when first transitioning to their big kid bed.
What Sets The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot Apart From The Crowd?
There’s plenty to love about the Babyhood Georgia Sleigh, so we’ve listed a couple of our favourites that we think you’ll appreciate too:
Grows with your child
One of our favourite features of the Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot is how it grows with babies, and how smooth the transition can be made for them! Moving from a cot to a toddler bed can be quite jarring for children, so the fact that there are four stages of the Georgia Sleigh bed makes it an excellent choice for nervous children. There are two mattress heights before moving onto a toddler bed with a safety rail, which can then be removed when your little one gets used to staying in bed throughout the night. We found our children really liked the gentle steps taken here to make the entire process easier on them.
Impressive weight limit
The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot can hold up to 100 kg, making it one of the most impressive toddler beds on the market! While the Australian Standard tests up to 24 kg for impact testing, Babyhood makes sure that its cots can hold a static load of 100 kg, so you don’t have to worry about the maximum weight of your cot. We really loved this feature as it meant we could offer our little ones more support while transitioning them to their toddler bed without worrying that we were going to break their fragile bed!
How Much Does The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot Cost?
The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot costs $799, making it a suitable cot for most medium-sized budgets. Considering the high weight limit and bonus toddler safety rail, we don’t think this is an unreasonable price! This price also reflects the grade-A New Zealand timber which keeps the cot as strong and reliable as possible throughout your years of usage.
What Is The Warranty On The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot?
The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot comes with a one-year warranty, which we were quite disappointed with considering how much the initial investment of this cot is. Plus, as you can use it for over five years, this warranty won’t cover much of the time you need to use it at all. In the grand scheme of things, one year doesn’t give you much time to notice manufacturer defects at all, so we were hoping for a more impressive warranty than this!
Is The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot Safe?
Yes, the Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot is very safe. Not only has it been tested against the AS/NZS 2172:2003 Australian Standard for domestic use for cots, but it’s also designed with your baby’s safety in mind. The drop-side has been rigorously tested and the rounded corners are excellent in preventing bumps and bruises for wriggly sleepers. The cot has also been painted with non-toxic paint with low VOC, so you don’t have to worry about them chewing on the BPA-free teething rails.
Is The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot Easy To Adjust?
We found the Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot really easy to adjust, especially considering there are so many possibilities to choose from! We were able to adjust the mattress base height within just ten minutes, and converting it to a toddler bed could not be easier. All you have to do is remove one side of the cot and add the safety rail if you choose to use it, so this is up there with one of the easiest cots we’ve had to adjust.
Is The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot Easy To Manoeuvre?
The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot is not suitable for travel or manoeuvring, so no, this is not an easy feat – unless you’re using the castors. The castors let you use the handles at the edges of the sleigh design to drag the cot back and forth, which can be helpful when you want to move the bed or rock your little one to sleep. However, as this is a heavier bed, it’s quite difficult to regularly rock back and forth so we wouldn’t recommend moving it too often.
Is The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot Easy To Assemble?
The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot comes with plenty of pieces, so assembling it can be quite overwhelming. Our advice would be to enlist the help of another person so you can work it out together and take some of the stress from you. The user manual’s instructions are simple enough to follow, but there are quite a few steps, so don’t expect to have the cot up and running within less than an hour.
Is The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot Easy To Clean?
The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot is easy enough to clean, which is a great feature as the white colour seemed to pick up marks like no tomorrow! Use warm soapy water to wipe down the cot regularly, and choose a gentle household cleaner for tougher stains. Make sure to wipe these off with water after they’ve worked their magic so the cot remains safe and non-toxic for your child’s next nap time.
Final Thoughts On The Babyhood Georgia Sleigh Cot
Overall, we found the Babyhood Georgia Sleigh cot really great during our time testing it! Some of our favourite features were the adjustability and how gentle it makes the transition from crib to toddler bed, along with the impressive weight limit of 100 kg. We didn’t like how often we had to clean the white cot due to visible marks and scuffs, so we recommend choosing the English oak colour if you want less maintenance for your cot.
