Another essential you'll need is a next-to-me crib for baby to sleep in on their first night at home. Mother & Baby's Features and Reviews Editor and mum Emily Gilbert tested this product for us and says "we simply removed it from the bag and unfolded the legs, making sure the brackets clicked into the plastic receives on the underside of the crib base. And there it was! Standing before our very eyes in just a matter of seconds."
If you have a particularly high divan bed like Emily, you'll be relieved to know that there are six different height positions for the CoZee Air. The lowest (position one) is suitable for a mattress height between 49-52cm while the highest (position six) is suitable for a mattress height of 64+cm. It is easy to adjust the height by squeezing the large button on each side and moving the crib either up or down.
A nice little bonus is that you can position one side of the CoZee Air higher than the other to help a baby with reflux. More benefits include two ventilated sides (many just have one), as well as a handy storage shelf underneath. It also comes with both lockable rocking bars and castors, meaning you can use it as a co-sleeper or a height-adjustable standalone crib that rocks. Emily says it's a shame that you have to choose between the rocking feature and being attached to the bed though.
