I'm waiting on delivery of the Atlas from mamas and papas. Theres so many to choose from though it all depends on personal taste. Happy shopping!

We got ours from Aldi on Thursday! Not needed for a bit yet, but the one on sale had everything we wanted and was white, which we wanted too.
We listed three priorities and looked for and chose a cot based on these and the price:

  1. flat sides so cot top changer can be used to save back;
  2. storage underneath (not a deal breaker as we cut use our own baskets, but we were hoping for a drawer or drawers for storage) and;
  3. ability to convert to a toddler bed (again, not a deal breaker as we plan to have more children so thought if we got one that didn't convert, we would keep it for future baby/babies and graduate this one into a new bed). The one in Aldi ticked all the boxes and was really reasonably priced compared to some I've found online, so we went for it! Can't speak to how much we like using it (or the baby does!) but in theory it's exactly what we wanted and looks great.

We have a Boori with a drawer underneath and it’s gorgeous and DD loves it. It converts to a bed (side protector comes with it) and we use a cot top changer to save bending down. We got ours from John Lewis.

I have Boori too, it is on the 4th child still like new. My parents brought for my eldest niece, now have 3. We are expecting a girl in October and we now have it. Very sturdy does them well into about 6/7. We have the drawer underneath too, great for keeping change of bedding etc.

We got a cot bed from the bamboo baby company. It has gone up in proce since we got it and it's not the cheapest but so easy to put up and convert, really well made and built and has a huge draw under. We were very fortunate in that we didn't need to get any other furniture as we already had a wardrobe and chest of draws in the room that was donated when family moved.
