Childcare Kimberley cots

[Beany]

Hi :)

I blinked and it's the third trimester :eek: So, the cots needs to be bought (or at least budgeted for adequately). I've had my eye on the Boori Classic but vaguely resent having to pay $800 for a cot and mattress. So that's where the Childcare Kimberley comes in.

It also has two levels for the mattress, is a nice plain white, readily available and is $300 for the cot (and then some for the mattress).

Problem is, there's no reviews of it that I could find online. Has anyone else bought this particular cot? Good? Bad? Ugly?

Should I stop being such a miser and just buy the Boori? (I think *my* queen size bed cost less than that ... )

Hi Beany,
Have you looked on Ebay people usually sell their Boori stuff on there for sometimes a third of the price. You may find a real bargain

I did not find anything on the Kimberley in the choice magazine and online when I did my research. But the whole Childcare range got a really good wrap.

I bought the kimblerley, however with 15 weeks to go I have not used it yet. It goes together really easily too. I am happy with my purchase, and like you could not justify the cost of the boori, I do think choice did a review on that one though (I could be wrong) but chech it out.

Hope this helps :thumbsup:

i didn't want to spend a lot on a cot, but ended up buying the boori 'forever' cot.
was the best decision, now i never have to buy DS another bed ever again. and it was so easy to put together, and comes with a massive warranty. it'll last DS for the rest of his life, so the $1000 (including mattress as i got mine from a seconds outlet) was well spent.

but if you really don't want to spend alot, then ikea make cots that are very good for under $300. a friend of mine bought one and she was really happy with it.

I've got a Childcare Kimberley cot which my daughter, now 1, has been sleeping in since she was born. I haven't had any problems with it in that time and am extremely happy with my purchase. hope this helps.

Thanks folks :)

I'm pretty sure I will go with the Kimberley. The way I see it, though it doesn't convert to a bed like a Boori, the $400 will buy a decent bed to take the child into the adolescent years.

Thanks again, everyone :)
