Tested by mum Lisa Leyland for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I highly recommend this product to all mummies everywhere, it is made from 100% breathable material which includes cotton mesh on the top layer, making it snuggly soft for little ones to lay against giving mummies 100% confidence that if their little one does turn over and sleep against it, they will be able to breathe through it.  It is a quality product with a very soft cotton top layer, making it safe to use from birth, with no worries about the product scratching your precious bundle of joy.  As it is Velcro, it has many applications, from swinging cots to cot beds, even toddler beds.  The packaging is nicely designed, simple & elegant, with all information being written on the box it’s safe & there are no worries about it being lost.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

This product instantly changes a big daunting cot’s environment from being barren and cold, to a warm, enclosed and safe place for a baby to spend time in.   It enables an easy transition from small comforting Moses basket to a big bare cot.  Washing is simple & quick.  The cot wrap is easy to fit to any size cot,  with its Velcro fastenings, once it is fitted to the sides of the cot properly, it is very difficult for little ones to make it come loose. This along with the material is 100% breathable, helps put your mind at ease.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

I believe the product would benefit from the top and bottom edges being covered in silk edging to improve the finishing quality of the product.  Maybe it would benefit from a few more colour ranges or designs?  I feel that it would benefit from more publicity, if I had known about this product a few years ago, I would definitely have invested in it.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I would recommend this product, I like the idea that the fabric is breathable but protects little one from banging themselves on cot bars or getting arms and legs stuck, it's so easy to attach and does its job well.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

It gave me peace of mind that if my daughter was to roll near the fabric that it was secure and couldn't be ripped off and that the fabric is breathable preventing suffocation.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

I'd like to see the product in a variety of colours and designs as the white can be quite stark against bedding, it would also make it more fun and appealing for little ones to look at.

Tested by mum Sarah Baker for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

The fact that these cot wraps can safely be used in a cot without the risk of suffocation is a big positive. I loved having the security of knowing my little boy was safe in his cot and that he still had the protection from the bars you would get with a regular cot bumper. They are also great at stopping him pushing his feet out the bars which often woke him when they got stuck.   The fact the lining was 100% cotton was an added bonus as it made it feel comfortable yet light and I had no problems with letting my little boy sleep up against it.  The Velcro was easy to attach and it fitted well to the cot bed.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Knowing there is nothing he can get tangled in, climb on or suffocate with in his cot is a huge relief. It makes bedtimes easier as I don't have to remove the bumper before putting him in and he feels comfortable and does wake himself up by banging his head on the bars or getting his foot/hand stuck out of them.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

The only thing I would change about this cot wrap is the colour. It would look so much more fun on the cot if it was offered in different colours or with a pattern on it just to brighten it up.

Tested by mum Carolann Dick for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

This cot wrap was just what I needed as my baby was going through a very active cot phase  and getting his little arms and legs stuck through the bars of the cot!  The instructions were simple and clearly given and the wrap was very easy to put on the cot. Since using it, there have been no more little tangled limbs poking out of the cot!

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Slightly padded and nice waffle feel to it.  Soft and not irritating.  My baby sleeps better and that's a plus for me!

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Like this product!

Tested by mum Karen Rutherford for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

Great for a first time nervous mom. Dreaded using risking bulky tied-on cot bumpers but didn't want baby to hit head either so these were a great compromise. Very hygienic as can be laundered and they dry so well and easily (they dry flat). They are safe and breathable for a baby, full of little holes.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

As I said above it’s the ultimate comprise between wanting cot bumpers and not wanting knocked heads on the cot bars. They are such an ingenious product

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

I think there needs to be a colour option. White is just too boring for nurseries nowadays.
