Posted on by

I can’t believe it’s only Lollipop Lane’s second birthday - they’ve worked so tirelessly in this short time that they’ve amassed a huge following and their beautiful nursery furniture, baby bedding and toys are in thousands of nurseries already (including Heidi’s). There’s a character collection to suit every taste and colour scheme, they’re much more colourful than the usual high street brands and reasonably priced to boot.

Happy birthday guys!!!

If (somehow) you’re not familiar with Lollipop Lane, here are some of the beautiful things you’ll find on the site…

VIDEO REVIEW: The Revolutionary Magicbed Travel Cot

Capture123 VIDEO REVIEW: The Revolutionary Magicbed Travel Cot

We’re on our summer holiday in a few weeks time. We’ve plumped for Fuerteventura staying at the very beautiful Club Bahiazul. The pictures look lovely so I’m beyond excited. Somehow we’ve ended up with a 3 bedroom and 4 bathroom villa so plenty of room for Craig, Dexter, Bump and I to spread out in.

This of course means Dexie will have his own big-boy room. Although the holiday company have offered us a cot, I’ve turned it down as I’ve had one too many bad experiences with holiday cots. Last year was a disaster for us. The villa was stunning, but the cot provided wasn’t up to much at all. It was very tiny, very shallow, and the mattress was filthy. Dexter was only 6 months old at the time so popping him in a normal bed wasn’t an option. We ended up having him in bed with us!

So we’ve been on the hunt for a lightweight, compact full-sized travel cot. Having read a number of reviews of the Magicbed (a revolutionary full-sized pop up travel cot) it seemed like the ideal solution. So how delighted was I when they agreed to let me road test one in return for my first ever video review!!

Here’s bump and I demonstrating just how easy this bad boy is to assemble:

Oh okay, okay… it’s a bit cringeworthy. I don’t think QVC will be begging me to present for them anytime soon! But hopefully it serves to show you just how simple it is to get it baby-ready.

FEATURES:

Opens instantly, in 2 seconds

Coordinating carry bag with padded shoulder strap for hands free transportation

Full sized travel cot (100 x 60 cm)

Available on a choice of 4 colours

Removable and washable fleece lining for extra sleep comfort

Self inflating mattress

Having used a few travel cots now I’m always struck by how heavy and cumbersome they are. The Magicbed arrived in a beautiful and compact carry case and weighs just 3.4kg. As it can be slung over your shoulder you’ll still have your hands free to carry baby.

There are no tools required to assemble the Magicbed. This makes it perfect as an occassional cot for grandma as there’s no bending required and stows away nice and compact under the bed when she’s off-duty. Similarly it’s fabulous for sunny days in the park as a sun tent, and for overnight travel and holidays as it’s so lightweight and easy to assemble.

Dexter’s had a few sleeps in the Magicbed now and he loves it. Being a particularly boisterous and playful 15 month old, he’s given it a good shake and played a few games of peekaboo over the cot sides. The Magicbed has more than stood up to the test and I would happily recommend it as really sturdy and safe for a travelling toddler.

When up, it features a mobile phone (or monitor) pouch on one end of the cot, and a roomy pouch for teddy bears and soothers on the other. This means you can keep all of babies sleep-time essentials within easy reach so you won’t be searching in the bottom of your suitcase for your child’s favourite teddy - genius for when you’ve got a tired and stroppy tot on your hands.

The Magicbed costs £109.00 which is more than reasonable for a full-sized travel cot that will serve you for many years, and on many occasions.
