3.0 out of 5 starsIt's a compromise
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2021
Brought this to use as a main sleeping crib due to the smaller dimension size compared with branded sleeping cots / cribs, but be aware that there are some issues so it's all about what you want to use it for. I found the idea great, easy to assemble and pack away, although its a really tight fit back in the bag - not sure why they couldn't make it the bag a tad bigger. When opened, its not as sturdy as I wanted in terms of the sleeping part being flat. The mattress supplied is rubbish, too thin for my liking. Now this is the difficult part, looking for a mattress and sheets / protector that fit this size as is larger than a Moses basket and smaller then the average cot. The company are useless, so you have to look around. I eventually did find a place, and brought an additional and thicker mattress which gives better support. The other issue I have is that as its a low crib, bending down can hurt your back, so do think about that. As this is only short term, up to when baby is 9kg, all of this has been that compromise I talked about. 6 weeks in now, will update as we go. The rocking feature does not work well and not a bad thing in fact, as I didn't want baby to get use to it! The crib is light and easy to move, don;t do it with the baby in! Another down side is that it has been difficult to find crib mobiles to fit securely on this Kindercraft. I would have though there would be accessories from KinderCraft, but no. So this is literally just used as a sleeping crib which works for its purpose after adding a better mattress.
