Hi Fellow Gransnetters! - there is so much choice out there now when it comes to buying a cot/cotbed compared to when we were smaller. Have any of you bought cots/cotbeds for your grandchildren either for your own home or your children's? I'd love to know, if you have, what were the main deciding factors which made you buy the one you did? I'm talking about when the baby is out of the co-sleepers and transferring to a cot/cotbed?. Also, do you have any feedback on the one you bought?

We bought a cot for dd when she had her first child and a travel bed for our home in case baby stayed over. And yes, as notanan said, it doubles as a playpen. Very nice!

We bought a travel cot for our home first dgd 12 years ago and it has now served 6 dgc. We also bought main cots for all of them for their own homes as gifts.
When ds separated from his dp of ten years they co parented their one year old. He needed another cot. We got a cot bed from Gumtree for £60. It is perfect and not just a cheap make do. The mattress was brand new in wrapper.
