The IKEA Leksvik is one of IKEA's more deluxe cots.
Design
The Leksvik is a lighter looking and smaller sized cot made from stained beech. It has a nice contemporary feel about it.
When converted it actually looks like a toddler bed rather than a cot conversion and would fit into any nicely designed room.
You can get a variety of matching furniture at a reasonable price if you want the whole matching nursery look. IKEA also make a great range of bed canopies, kids manchester and accessories such as teething and bed rails.
Features
This cot features 2 levels and comes with a conversion kit.
Performance
It does its job by providing a safe and comfortable bed for your baby that looks good.
Like all IKEA furniture it is easy to assemble and reassemble into a toddler bed.
Drawbacks
It does not have a drop down side.
Conclusion
After your pram, a good quality cot is going to be the next most important purchase for your baby. This is a nicely made and designed cot and represents good value.
Getting a cot that converts into a toddler bed 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 and support Red Nose Day every year.
