So, it's like you are SAVING money. (Please ignore the logic that you will need to buy a big kid bed anyway later one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cot-v-cotbed-which-should-i-buy#post-576977 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:10:05 +0000 Cherrybee 576977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yippee!! You're all agreeing with me!!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cot-v-cotbed-which-should-i-buy#post-576864 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:48:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 576864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: agree</p> <p>I love the aesthetic and design of the first one! Very pretty and will match almost anything and any style! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cot-v-cotbed-which-should-i-buy#post-576863 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:47:56 +0000 prettylizy 576863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the Henley is way cuter!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cot-v-cotbed-which-should-i-buy#post-576851 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:45:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 576851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Henley has better design features- beadboard, two tone finish, and smooth edge, which is more gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cot-v-cotbed-which-should-i-buy#post-576827 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:38:04 +0000 Cherrybee 576827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right! We have narrowed the cot choices down to two contenders! </p> <p>I really like the Henley Cotbed from Babies R Us. DH, however, is adamant that it is too expensive and we should go for a cheaper option such as the Hensvik from Ikea - DESPITE the fact that my mum is buying the cot as a gift for the baby (he hates spending money, even when it's not his!!). </p> <p>The Henley (top pic) is a cotbed, measuring 146cm (l) x 85cm (w). It has three different mattress positions and drop-sides. It converts to a toddler bed. With mattress, it costs £249.00. </p> <p>The Hensvik (bottom pic) is a cot, measuring 123cm (l) x 66cm (w). It has two mattress positions but doesn't have a drop-side. With mattress, it costs £120. 00 - half the price. </p> <p>Both have great reviews. Oh and did I mention I like the Henley best....!!!! </p> <p>What would you do?! </p> [attach=2581/13/mihlfg.346x346.henley.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mihlfh.500x500.hensvik-cot__0133466_PE288944_S4.JPG]
