    I used just a cot for my 1st bub, but got a tetra bed to go in the cot for my 2nd and loved it...so will use it again for my next one...

    I have a bassinet and used it for a week or so, but bub kept rolling into the side and hated it, so it's just sitting in the bub's room till I can get rid of it...

    I like the tetra bed as you can take it anywhere as a portable bed too...works wonders on holidays or visiting the in-laws.

    Hi Bea

    I bought a white cane bassinette for my bub off ebay - I paid $22 which included a matress (I bought a new one though) and they chucked in 4 white bassinette sheets! It is a Groyears hooded cane basinette, and it sits on a base which you can lift it out of. These cane basinettes sell for a couple of hundred dollars new but seem to have a very poor resale value - not fashionable at the moment I guess!! I took advantage of this by purchasing second hand and got a seriously good bargain.

    Oh, DP fitted some castors to the legs so we can push it around - necessary in our tiny bedroom - and also for rocking to sleep if necessary.
