We had our second son and we were using a Moses basket at night but he was really to big for it but I didn't want him in his own room yet. A friend recommended this cot and it's great. So much more spacious for him and a handy shelf underneath for storing nappies and wipes etc. The 5 different height levels are really handy too, to match any height bed and can tilt the cot if baby is suffering with reflex etc. Overall great cot. Will highly recommend
