Need cot for fast growing baby

andykolo

i have a 3 month old baby who is huge and outgrowing his crib already any ideas for a low price / cheap place to buy a cot. Unfortunately his older sister is too young to move out of her cot just yet and we dont really want the expense of another cot but need one anyway

how olds the older sister? i move my eldest out of the cot into a bed at 18months, and he was fine, didnt even fall out of bed.

or how about look around for a second-hand cot bed, the one that can covert into a bed, for the eldest to move into, and the youngest then can have the cot

Sister is 17 months and too active to stay in bed yet but thanks anyway

Its been suggested before, ikea do a basic cot the sniglar £22.40 and £12 for the mattress and just now (sunday) the had extra money off all bedframes and the cots were included, no dropside but very useable.

as suggested before, get a 2nd hand cotbed, I managed to pick my daughters up from the local newspaper classifieds for £15. It was a mamas and papas and was in great condition, just needed a mattress, so there are bargains to be had out there !!

Failing that check out https://www.kiddicare.com, they do some cheap stuff with free delivery too !

kiddicare is doing a great deal of cot, mattress, duvet and bumper, and teething rails with free delivery for about 85 pounds. good mattress too, with washable cover. before buying a secondhand one [which can be very cheap] find out how much a good new mattress would be..
