Our verdict
Curved, snug and barely bigger than a Moses basket, the Stokke Sleepi is viewed by many as the best crib around. Not only does it look great, with the help of an extension kit it's suitable for newborns all the way up to five year olds, as it grows with your child, lengthening and widening into a cot and junior bed.
At £335 for just the Mini crib, it's considerably more expensive than most co-sleeper cribs and small cots, and the extension kit costs a whopping £282 on top of this - for the best value you can buy them as a bundle for £563. If you take into account the fact that the Sleepi can be used at your bedside, in baby's own room, wheeled around the house for bedtime naps and removes the need to buy a first bed as your child grows, it actually starts to work out pretty good value.
There's no doubt you're getting amazing quality - the wood looks and smells top notch, and the rounded edges make it an unusual and stylish piece of furniture. Mumsnetters living in small flats particularly rate the Stokke Sleepi, as it doesn't take up more space than necessary at each stage.
Our tester found it easy to assemble and was impressed by the quality of the cot and mattress. However the extension kit was needed more quickly than he'd thought, as his daughter started to outgrow the first size at 4.5 months old. Our tester found the extension kit a breeze to fit when it was time to make the cot larger.
All in all, we think the Stokke Sleepi is a good investment if you're looking for a high-quality bed that'll last a good few years and can be passed on or sold once it's grown out of. However, with plenty of budget options available, we think you could kit your child out for less, so we'd only recommend the Sleepi if you fall in love with its charming Scandi looks and sustainable credentials.
