I'm not sure how it would go with a 6month old, Ryan's already starting to look a bit big for it. I've seen things you can get that are pretty much like a box lol, has a matress in it and the sides to stop parents squishing bubbies, although they are probably for wee bubbers too. Have you tried going to a big baby store if you have one near by? Ask them what they think and they may be able to advise something for you. I love the My Little Bed because you can fold it up and wear it as a handbag pretty much so I can put it on the pram when I go to peoples places and if he gets sleepy I can lay it out on their bed or couch and know he won't roll off anywhere
