Babyhood Kaylula Sova 5 In 1 Cot

Really disappointing cot. -Like others have said, the bassinet function is incredibly impractical. It’s simply too low. I recommend visualising yourself lifting your own baby in and out of this bassinet before you buy it. - The mattress separates into three parts which is tiresome to change because it’s really hard to get the three parts to stay… Read more

together. The mattress is also incredibly hard. You are limited to the babyhood sheet range because of the mattress shape. -We only used the cot setting. Once again, like others have said it doesn’t fit through a standard doorway so once it’s set up in the nursery, it cannot be wheeled out to the lounge room ect which we hoped to be able to do in the early stages. - We didn’t take the side off and use this cot as a toddler bed as intended, because it’s simply too small being an oval shape. So much wasted space. -I don’t normally write reviews but I’ve taken the time to write this one because my husband and I are very disappointed with this product, especially with the price point versus the quality/impractical nature of it.

I love this cot. It was easy to assemble and works like a dream. Glides and manoeuvres smoothly which means I’m not likely to wake up baby as we move the cot from one room to next. The locking function works well and I can put my hand through the gaps to settle baby when cot is next to our bed. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful but terrible quality – I fell in love with this at a baby expo when I was expecting. However I’ve gone through two mattresses and need to buy another…my son has only just turned two. The mattresses comes in three parts, and the two end parts where he doesn’t sleep remain firm and the lack of structure in the middle section means it bottoms out. The worst part is because… Read more

of its unique shape I can’t buy a better quality mattress for him. The mattress costs $249 before delivery…

In addition I bought it in a package with the dresser and the top draw doesn’t slide in and out properly. I expected more from what is advertised as premium.

I know it’s stunning but save your money and buy something else…

Love this cot! – Absolutely would not get anything else! Love the clear panels so she can start to engage with what’s around her and regulate the night and day with light filtering through the cot. Also love that we can wheel it around the house ~ I truly feel it is an all in one and takes out the need for other “things” because of its versatility! It’s really easy to get bubs in and out of and looks gorgeous too. Show details

Design of the wheels – On the first day we got the crib my wife's feet were cut by the sharp edges of wheels lock. Today it was me, wondering who’s next? Something needs to be done.

Stunning design; furniture that grows with Baby – We were going to get a Moses basket and stand for Baby for her first few months Earth side, but we are so glad we did our research and opted for the Kaylula Sova 5 in 1 instead. It’s longevity alone is worth it, and it truly is a good investment piece that grows with the baby. We live in a small house so it was important that all our baby… Read more

furniture were well chosen for longevity, preferably convertible - and this cot was perfect!

Pros

Versatility and longevity. Grows with Baby as it converts from bassinet to baby cot to toddler bed to table and chairs to playpen. We have a separate playpen for Baby, so we will probably stop at table and chairs (bench seats).

Castor wheels mean you can rock baby to sleep or move the cot when this is a bassinet. Wheels are lockable. We have fairly narrow doorways and we still managed to wheel the bassinet from the bedroom to the living area.

Pretty easy to assemble.

Stunning design. Modern and colour neutral. Bars are nice and wide - haven’t had any issues with Baby getting her hands or feet stuck. We bought it in beech, which we love.

Sustainable. Frame is made of European plantation beech wood, which is sturdy.

Two level adjustment base for growing Baby.

AFRDI compliant.

Breathe EZE mattress (sometimes a separate purchase) is well made and firm. Covers come off easily to wash.

Excellent value.

Cons

Hard to find linen for a round bassinet and oval cot. We purchased a 7 piece organic Amani Bebe linen set to suit the Kaylula, which was an extra $300.

Prettiest cot – I fell in love with this and HAD to have it, figured it's a bargain for a bassinet, pram, toddler bed, table chair and playpen in1. 2 years later , loved it as a bassinet wheeled bubs around the house a lot, adored it as a cot. I did buy custom size sheets for that snug fit but eventually decided to tuck regular sheets in. Used as a toddler bed… Read more

for a short while then bubs decided she wants a big girls bed. I didnt use it as a playpen or table & chairs. I think it looks good like that, i would just be too cranky if the kids got crayon on it. After being moved around, reconfigured and daily use for 2 years there are some minor paint chips, the perspex has lasted well. The mattress is easy to wash and the covers come off . I did air my mattress out every couple of months as moisture can get trapped in there.

It fits through regular size doors but strangely 1 door in my (old) house was too small for it to fit through.

I'm glad I had this cot

Stylish yet functional – This bassinet and cot has a stylish and sophisticated design. The perspex and birch wood option is practical as it provides fantastic visibility. The versatility of the design is also amazing in that you can convert the bassinet into a cot, toddler's bed and table and chairs etc. We've had a lot of compliments regarding its design.

great option on tight budget – Ordered the white wooden version (classic sith no perpex) via bub 'n grubs online. Live regionally and arrived witin 7 working days. Easy to put together, feels pretty solid. Lovely dense matress, great height of base for european cot if wheels on. Does fit through all the standard door frames in our home. Didn't use in cucoon position but looks… Read more

cute. Nice looking cot, got to match my leander cot for new twins when they outgrew fitting in one cot together. Was half the price of a new leander one, and looks good beside it. Compared to the more expensive leander, it is not quite as snugly put together, and the toddler bed option not quite as sleek, but at half the price not a bad option at all.

Disappointing – My wife and I are new parents and quickly, maybe too quickly, decided on the Kaylula Cot because it was different and modern. We ordered the white perspex model and had to wait one month for its arrival into country (NZ). That one month turned into two months and with a wife wanting to get everything squared away before due date this alone was… Read more

stress that she did not need. When it did arrive it was the wrong one and we were told that the white perspex model would be another 4 months away( baby was due in two weeks). We opted for the white wooden frame and finally got it delivered.

I made up the bassinet. Now don t think you are going to be wheeling that around the house, it does not fit through your standard doorway, so if you make it up in the nursery that is where its going to stay. The base of the cot is low, meaning that my wife has to bend way low to place and receive my boy. This is not achievable after a c-section and with no way of lowering any sides on the bassinet. We have cut it away completely in regards to using it as a bassinet. We have bought another portable bassinet that we can have by our bed and move from room to room or whatever is convenient.

We ordered a bumper for the cot which we thought would go around the entire cot, no only 110cm long and at $110 dollars we weren't going to by four of those. We needed something to stop arms and feet hanging through the bars. Try buying bumpers, sheets or anything else for that matter for a round cot - it is not going to happen.

The sheets you do get are so tight and with a weak zip they will not last, attempting to put them is a real struggle due to trying to get three mattresses into one sheet- the separation in the mattress must add to an uncomfortable sleep, not really good enough for my boy.

Long story short, stay with a traditional cot,its battle proven and saves a lot of hassle at what can be a stressful time anyway.
