Babylo Products suspiciously cheap??

[TheAnswerIsTea]

Hi,

I’m expecting twins and have been looking at getting a travel cot with a drop side to use as a co-sleeper as they seem bigger than the standard co sleepers, so I’m hoping will last me longer with 2.

Looking at the Babylo Deluxe Drop Side Co Sleeper Travel Cot, only thing is it’s only £70, which seems cheap? Does anyone have any experience with Babylo products? Are they any good? Or is it a case of you get what you pay for?

Thanks!

I had the babylo normal size co-sleeper and honestly cannot fault it! It did the same job as the more expensive ones and seems nice and sturdy. I had it for my little boy and my sister is now using it for her baby. X

We had two babylo snug sleepers (one upstairs and one downstairs) and they were spot on.

Sorry was meant to say, the only thing I did do was get a different mattress as I head read reviews that said they one it came with was quite hard, which it was! But even the cost of the cot and a different mattress was less than a lot of other brands x

My SIL gave us their babylo wooden cot which they used with their childeren. My boy has slept in from 6mo (now 18mo). He seems happy and it's still standing! We bought a new matress for it.

I think our highchair might be babylo too, is wooden which I wouldn't recommend as is more difficult to clean and is heavy but on the pls side it's very sturdy!

It’s a travel cot, though? The mattresses often aren’t good enough for frequent use, which may explain the lower price.

Yes I was going to get a decent mattress to go in it

Thanks for the replies, I think I’ll give it a try!

I have the babylo cozi sleeper and it's great. My pram is also from babylo (panorama xt) and I love it.

Echo those who loved the cozi sleeper. Find it better than the snuzpod, much bigger without taking up much more room and therefore lasted much longer. Great buy

I put a different mattress in a travel cot for my toddlers but I don’t know if that’s recommended with a newborn as all the safety certification is based on the dimensions of the original mattress. Might be worth looking into a bit more.

I think travel cots are recommended for daily sleep as mattress isn’t great.

In your senario, I would get x2 cots from ikea. Look up ikea cot hack for co sleeer, but it’s basically buy one you can take the Side off and strap it to your bed.
That way you can set up one cot in babies bedroom as somewhere safe to put one when changing the other or both when you need a wee. And other use as co sleeper. After a few months when they start moving you can just re attach side and you have regular two cots.
