Stokke Sleepi question

[ScarletteOTara]

Hello

Quick question about the Stokke Sleepi. I'm planning on getting a secondhand one from eBay.

If I buy a regular Stokke Sleepi, do I just need to take the middle sections out to turn it into a Stokke Mini? Obviously I'll need to buy a new mini mattress, but does the mini have a different base also?

Thanks for your help!

yes, the base is different for the mini

Yes, you would need both a different base and extra bits for the sides. Lovely cot, absolute bastard to put together

Good to know. The middle-size ones are quite common on eBay (and therefore cheaper) but I've got my heart set on a darling round one to start off with ;). And I keep telling myself that that way I won't need a moses basket so I'll have less redudant stuff in the long term.

I'll keep an eye out for sets that specifically go from mini to regular. Anyone got any thoughts on whether its worth looking for a set that goes all the way up to Stokke Junior?

I'm sort of thinking that by the time DC gets to about 4 or so they'll be wanting a 'grown up' single bed and won't be interested in the Junior!

Or if you plan more than one, it may be passed down and get use that way...

Well, we'll see how DC1 goes but if we have a second I'll definitely be passing the Sleepi down. Just wondering whether anyone rates the Junior extension for bigger kids...

I honestly don't know anything about the Stokke, but I think it's worth bearing in mind that, if you have more children, it's only at the last child that it gets extended up to Junior IYSWIM. Because either you are buying mutliples (in which case you might as well have bought as basic cot and moved straight to a single bed) or it's not getting used for a number of years. That's what I was clumsily trying to say.

Gotcha - thanks!
