- Many parents really liked the compact size and how easy this was to fit into smaller spaces without taking up too much space in their homes
- The castor wheels are excellent and very durable, and they even make this cot suitable as an evacuation cot
What Are The Drawbacks Of The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot?
- Some parents were concerned about their children outgrowing the crib too fast compared to full-sized cots
Are There Any Accessories Included With The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot?
Unfortunately, the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot doesn’t come with any accessories, so you’ll need to buy any extras that you want to use separately. You’ll also need to buy the mattress, so make sure you get the correct size (100 x 60 cm)! Mini cribs can be more difficult to find sheets for, so make sure you check the dimensions before you buy any to avoid getting the wrong size. Other accessories you might choose to buy include a baby mobile, a sound machine, and an automatic rocker which will work really well with the castor wheels!
What Sets The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot Apart From The Crowd?
When testing out the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot, we found plenty of unique features that we really liked for new parents. Here are a few of our favourite features:
The compact size
We can’t talk about the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot’s standout features and not mention its compact size! This crib is impressively small, and yet somehow still spacious enough for little ones to stretch out in bed. The mini crib can offer the same benefits as a bassinet almost, without the super compact size that will be outgrown within just a few months. The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot can be used until your little one reaches either 24 kg or 105 cm, so you don’t have to worry about them outgrowing this cot too quickly.
The castor wheels
Another feature we love of the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot is the castor wheels which mean you can quickly and easily move the crib from room to room without a hitch. With a compact width of just 67 cm, the Babyhood Mini crib can be pushed through the majority of internal door frames. We love this feature because it lets us move our sleeping babies through your house so we can keep them close without being confined to a single room. These castors are also lockable and make the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot qualify as an evacuation cot.
How Much Does The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot Cost?
The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot costs $549, making it suitable for most parents with low to medium budgets. Considering this cot is suitable for newborns to 24 kg or 105 cm, we think this price is quite reasonable considering how long you can use it! However, we often find that children outgrow mini cribs quickly as they want more room to stretch out, so you might find yourself needing to buy another cot sooner than you hoped for.
What Is The Warranty On The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot?
The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot comes with a one-year warranty, which we were hoping to be a little longer considering the price of this crib. Considering that you can use this crib for around four years, this means you’re only getting your investment covered for a quarter of your usage. So, while one year is definitely better than nothing, we were hoping for a slightly more generous warranty.
Is The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot Safe?
Yes, the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot is plenty safe! It’s made with A-grade New Zealand timber which is both robust and durable, and BPA-free teething rails that are discreet and safer for little teeth. The castors are lockable so you can keep your crib stationary and locked into place when you’re not moving or rocking it. The castors and compact size make the Babyhood Mini cot an evacuation crib, which is a great safety feature that we don’t see on many modern cribs!
Is The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot Easy To Adjust?
We found the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot really easy to adjust from its two mattress height positions, and the smaller size made it even easier than many other options we’ve tried on the market. The drop-side also gave us better access to the screws that needed to be adjusted to the second height so we didn’t need to bend over the crib as far to get everything securely in place. Overall, we have no complaints about the adjustability of the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot.
Is The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot Easy To Manoeuvre?
Yes, the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot is one of the easiest cribs we’ve had the pleasure of manoeuvring thanks to its castor wheels and compact size. This crib can fit through the majority of internal doorways so we had no issues wheeling it from one room to another, which is a great feature for parents who want to keep their babies close while they’re sleeping for the first few months. Most cots on the market aren’t very easy to manoeuvre at all, so testing out the Babyhood Mini was like a breath of fresh air!
Is The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot Easy To Assemble?
We found the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot really easy to assemble thanks to its small size and the easy to read instructions that came in the user manual. With only five pieces to put together and a handful of hardware, we had the mini crib up and running in no time! The castors were probably the most difficult piece to attach, but even these took no longer than a few minutes.
Is The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot Easy To Clean?
Yes, the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot is very easy to clean. Not only is it smaller and therefore comes with less surface area to wipe down, but the bars are all flat and wide enough for you to clean super quickly. Just make sure you use a gentle cleaner to avoid rubbing off the lacquer and scuffing the timber underneath.
Final Thoughts On The Babyhood Mini Ergonomic Cot
Overall, we were really impressed with the Babyhood Mini Ergonomic cot when we got to try it out for ourselves. Some of our favourite features were the castor wheels that made it easy to wheel the crib from room to room, and the compact size for space optimisation. We were a little concerned with our children outgrowing the crib prematurely though due to its smaller size, so bear in mind that you might need to buy another crib as your child gets older and taller if they’re not ready to transition to a toddler bed.
