Hi everyone.
my almost 10 months old girl bumps her head in her cot .
i was thinking to get the chicco next to me forever to stop this.
has anyone tried it? And do you think it s worth it at her age or its bit small now?

thanks

I have this cot, used it from 6 months until just over 2 when I felt she could do with more space (although my girl is big -98th centile- so it would last longer for an average sized toddler). I loved it. The drop side made it easier to get her in and out than a regular cot. No bars for her to get her legs stuck in, no wood for her to bump her head off. I will definitely be using it with my next LO.

Oh thats really helpful. Thank you. My baby is also on the 92 percentile so bit on the taller side.
and is it deep enough like a normal wooden cot is to prevent them for climbing up?
one thing also, my baby likes to twist in circles haha thats one of the things she might not be able to do is this cot as its 58cm i guess in width.
any opinion on this?
thanks you

It is very nearly as deep as a normal cot (I actually measured once and the depth was 1cm less than her full sized cot bed). My girl didn't manage to climb out of it for the first time until she was 2, which I think is pretty typical cot-escape age.
I'm not sure r.e. spinning around as my daughter never did this. There might not be enough space.
