Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
This Boori Dawn Expandable Bed system is designed to suit a child from birth right through to teens (or beyond). While the RRP may seem big this would surely work out less than individual purchase over time.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
When an infant is moved to a new cot or bed it can cause some distress to baby and parents. This natural progression in the same bed can avoid unnecessary distress.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The expansion bars could be included in the original pack. At a later date a standard mattress can be purchased (readily available) but the expansion bars are very specific.

This is a solid robust bed that will last you from cot to teenager, easy to assemble fantastic quality real attention to detail. A masterclass in design, this is how beds should be made. Easy to keep clean, no nasty edges or places for a child to get stuck. This is an amazing cot bed and with the extension converts to a stylish single bed.

You only need to buy a bed once you start with a cot and then convert to a single. You can change up when you are ready/ you only need to buy one bed and you covered real value for money.

The slates aren't too far apart so I didn't worry about arms/legs getting caught, rounded smooth edges made me feel comfortable he wouldn't get hurt.

I would add fabric pads to the feet as these dented easily and the wooden sides also seemed soft.
Tested by Wan Tai Ho for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
The adjustable height for the cot was good as I have a bad back, it was straight forward to build. I like the design, it feels expensive. I think the cot bed seems a little high so you would need to use a safety barrier.

Great to have a cot which will last many years.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would make it lower and would like an underbed storage.
