Are they any good?

Am considering buying one for DD now she has outgrown her travel cot.

Any thoughts / recommendations?
Best / cheapest place to buy one?

WE got one for DD about 2 months ago (she is just 2 now) and she loves it. It says from 3 years but DD is fine in hers.

It takes less than 5 minutes to inflate with a tiny hand pump, and appears to be comfy and warm. DD chose a pink Babrie one but there are lots to choose from. It is pretty leight weight too (unlike travel cot) and comes with its own bag. We carried hers through London on the underground last month with no problems.

We got ours from Toys R Us for £29.99.

We love ours and DD uses it whenever we stay away from home. When we first got it she insisted that she slept in it in her own bedroom to try it out!!!

yes, we have 2 from ELC. very good, comfortable. i'd say the only draw back is washing the cover, rather big and bulky and tends to need washing after each use as the pillow is part of the main body and on ours it's a dark colour and god do my 2 dribble when asleep!!
dd -8- is now too big for hers as a full unit but we no longer use the bed bit but she still fits into the bag bit on a normal blow up bed,
ours were £30 ish
glc sell them for a lot more than that

Are they a nightmare to wash then? DD's hasn't been washed yet!!! Luckily she seems a 'clean' sleeper (or we are just scruffy)

mummysurfer · 15/04/2004 09:27

it's the drying really. they fit in the washer easily enough. can't be tumble dried, and i don't hang stuff out very often and because they're cotton they take ages/days to dry.

Hulababy · 15/04/2004 09:28

ms! Have no where to dry outside her either. Looks like it'll be hanging over the shower rail for a while then. Maybe I just won't bother washing just yet

This one?

Hulababy · 15/04/2004 10:51

That is very sweet. DD would have loved that one

Not used one myself, but there was an advert on the back of ds' comic today for This Company Some of the ready beds are in the sale at £20!

popsycal · 15/04/2004 21:24

oooh - i want one of those
saw an ad in tweenies magazine for cheap ones www.newcron.com
anyone bought from them?
half the price of toyrus

gingernut · 15/04/2004 21:34

We bought one of these from Argos. It's a bit bigger than the `character' ones so I thought might be useful for longer. And ds loves Thomas now but in a few years time, who knows? (OK, so I'm stingy and they were cheaper).
