However they are not suggested for use until 6 months when your baby is required to move into a cot or a moses basket. Mehack, a MFM home tester, was impressed by the fact that this model features an adjustable bassinet that can be used around the home. It also features a manual rocking feature. It was easy to set up and came with its own travel bag. Size Cots and cot beds vary in size, with cots being smaller than cot beds. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However they are typically used for children up to the age of three. If you're considering a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes available - standard and large - both of which can be converted into a cot/toddler beds. Choosing the larger one is a good idea for children who want to sleep in it until they reach approximately three. Jasmine, an MFM mum who tested the product at home, liked that it was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the room of her baby. It's easy to carry her child in and out for feeding or soothing and that the quality is excellent in comparison to other cots she's seen that are flimsy. Emily who is a home-based tester, is thrilled by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora that is a portable, lift-off bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. In contrast to International or European cot brands The Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't need to purchase another mattress as your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress
