Is this worth £50?

Ds is two and a half and still in his cot with sleeping bag. This seems like the perfect next step, I know little ones in big beds tend to come out of their covers and get cold and drop their pillows on the floor... £50 is a lot though. What do you think?

Seems a bit much - does he wear pjs? Shouldn't imagine he'll get too cold. Mind you, this is from the woman who wanted to invent duvet anchors for her own bed...

very expensive option
warm pjs and socks in bed?

Could you not do a similar thing with a normal duvet and add a zip?
In our case we used a bed guard which prevented the pillows falling out and we tuck the duvet down the edge to prevent the riding down.

He won't go anywhere, especially bed, without socks on!
Doesn't anyone think it's good?

Sorry but I just think its a marketing mans idea to get more money out of parents and keep children in the gro bag products longer.
Neither of my boys has ever had a pillow get over his head in the night. When they first transfer to a bed they do fall out of bed a couple of times for the first few nights -you just put something soft for them to land on and accept falling out of bed as a development stage.
IMO its the cot bars that keep them in, not a zip round a quilt, so they would just fall out and hang in this contraption till you hear them scream!
Quilts do come off but you can tuck them in at the bottom, or just tuck the child in when you go to bed. I made quilt covers and made them longer so theres plenty to tuck in. Our two wear pyjamas.
Please don't waste your money on this!

Yes, worth it. DS2 was forever falling out of bed once he moved out of his cot.

mrshedge · 18/06/2008 23:09

Yes yes yes! I have this and it is a fab product.

Ds loves it, lovely quality cotton, stops him falling out of bed, keeps the pillow and duvet in place.

I am very cynical about some baby and toddler products (having recently written a book on the subject) but this genuinely does a good job.

Yes you can manage without it but it's a great product for the transition stage between cot and bed. I'd only buy one though and try and manage with just having normal bedding as spares given the price.

The only downside is that it is very tricky to get it on the bed the first time but you do get used to it.

you could just buy a character sleeping bag, we have a tweenies one

Dynamicnanny · 19/06/2008 17:06

what about this

SaintGeorge · 19/06/2008 17:36

Put a single duvet in a double duvet cover.

Use excess cover to tuck in all around the bed.

Job done.

hotCheeseBurns · 21/06/2008 16:52

I believe that, dynamicnanny, is the duvet to go with the sheet-duvet-cover-pillow-cover set thing, and I thought it was £20 for the single bed one, not £40! Safe to say I won't be buying this... Although I would if I had £90 to spare!

look at www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/detail.php?productid=ST01859&branch=IF&category=GST62 and use a bed guard as well. seems a much cheaper solution!!
