I bought this cot for my youngest daughter. A bit of an expensive buy when you know that you aren't going to have any more babies but I had my heart set on it for years.

It was a bit tricky to put together but then I hate flat pack - so that wasn't a huge surprise. Once set up in her room it looked stunning and I just loved using it.

In my previous cots my babies always tended to turn around but in the Sleepi she just stayed put. As she grew I adapted the cot to side off and then to junior bed and she still uses it as a sofa / day bed now that she has a big bed. There is nothing that I could say against the Sleepi. After having four cots with four babies I would always recommend it. It is stylish, user friendly and even though a large initial outlay its adaptability means that it works out as an average buy if you continue to use it once your baby has grown.

A very expensive cot but worth every penny. As with a lot of Stokke products it grows with your child.

We bought the whole mini package after disappointment with the Amby cot. The mini is excellent for the first few months, it really does create a lovely nest for your baby.

The fitted sheets are a bit expensive, as is the bumper, but well worth it.

Highly recommended! And they do sell easily second-hand.

Fantastic and worth every penny. The mini cot is a great alternative to a moses basket and far more portable due to the wheels. It also makes the transition to the larger cot really smooth and I am sure this saved us some sleep!

I would certainly recommend this cot and after having one wouldn't have anything else, we just wish we had bought the changing unit too!

We bought this for DS (now 2.8) and have only just moved him out of it into a bed as we have no 2 on the way. We have loved the stokke minicot and cot - great being able to wheel it around and DS always settled in the minicot really well when very little as didnt feel like he was surrounded by too much space. Would definitely recommend it - beautiful cot and worth every penny.

We were luck enough to buy this 2nd hand, so just had to source new mattresses which worked out much cheaper. I found the mini cot a brilliant piece of kit. I was recommended to settle my baby in his room and then take him through to our room to sleep overnight, so as to reduce the shock when eventually he began sleeping in his own room all night. The size and portability of the mini cot made this very straightforward. He's now in the Sleepi cot and is very settled. The fact that it's so similar to the mini cot he was in made the transition from one to the other so smooth we didn't even notice it. not sure how useful it will be long term as he's quite a tall boy and very wriggly but even if we only have it for a few years ?I'm very glad we made the decision to buy it. I would've stretched to buying one at full RRP if I'd had to! PS The change station that matches (Stokke Care) is outstanding! I have a bad back and have no issues caused by it, but when I use a friend's "standard sideways one" I can feel it twinging before I've even finished a single nappy!
