Design
The Boori Sleigh Cot is a solid, well constructed piece of furniture in the country style favored by many parents. It's a big cot, both in dimension and design. It will dominate your room and possibly your baby.
It comes in a wide variety of colours and finishes including white, heritage teak and walnut.
Boori make a large range of coordinating furniture if you'd like a matching nursery.
Features
This cot features a drop side, 4 lockable casters and a large drawer underneath to store the larger than usual sheets and blankets you need for this cot.
Performance
It does its job by providing a safe and comfortable bed for your baby and has many of the features you need in a cot. However, it is not that easy to assemble or re-assemble into the bed or sofa. Maybe a job for a professional handyperson.
Drawbacks
Due to the size of this cot you need to get a specially made mattress, sheets and other bedding. As with all these designer pieces of furniture all the accessories are expensive.
Due to its size the cot is also heavy and difficult to move around if you need to.
Conclusion
After your pram, a good quality cot is going to be the next most important purchase for your baby. This is a very expensive cot so make sure you give it some consideration before you declare, ‘I’ll take it!’
Lots of baby shops stock Boori so make sure you shop around for the best price and take advantage of the big discount sales.
Getting a cot that converts into a toddler bed and/or a sofa is great for longevity, however, if you are planning to have more babies it's likely you will never convert your cot so don't go overboard.
You can never do enough to lower you baby’s risk of SIDS. Find more information on the SIDS and Kids website
