If co-sleeping isn't quite your thing but having baby nearby is a must, consider this hanging bassinet from Knoppa.
Hang it above your bed so you can gently rock baby back to sleep in the wee hours without leaving your snug spot.
This bassinet is the antidote to stumbling around a dark room in search of baby.
The ability to hang it anywhere as well as store it flat, has real
space-saving appeal, especially to those living in cosy inner-city
pads.
Take it outside with you so baby can nap within earshot and you can
enjoy some fresh air or tackle the gardening.
Folded flat the Knoppa won't take up much room in your car, and
weighs a mere 2kgs, making it an ideal option for a travel cot.
A stylish home and holiday bed with the option of either red or brown
floral canvas, the design will compliment a range of decors.
It comes complete with mattress and hanging mechanism.
Available from Tiny Dodo for 179€ and ships to Australia.
Perfect for daytime naps or sleepovers, this flip flop sofa would look great in any home, thanks to its modern/retro design. If you are tired of having Seseme Street or Dora the Explorer furniture in your home, these seats are covered in really cool prints including the funky flamingo print, while the base
features chic faux suede. You won’t want to hide this one in the kids room!
Totally childproof and washable, the Teeny Me Flamingos Flip Flop Sofa is available from The Hip Infant
for $259.00.
Nurseryworks has amazing furniture for your baby and children's room. I love this Playdate table and stools for so many reasons but most of all for being practical as well as a design piece.
We live in an apartment, so any space saving devise is an attraction and with this table and seating set the stools offer storage, store perfectly under the table and reverse the stool tops for seat cushions. When your kids are not using it, put it in the corner and it takes up minimal space.
At a cost of US$695, its not cheap but works to fill a gap in the small but funky child's table/chair market. Contact Nurseryworks as they will organise International shipping.
While on their website, look at their other products, all equally as stunning as this piece of furniture.
These gorgeous Australian designed bean bags are made for small childen by Cocoon Couture and will blend in with any family room decor.
Each bean bag features delightful quirky critters, either the early bird or sleepy owl, and they are all made from vintage fabrics on cord colours.
All bean bags are washable 100% and come with an internal safety lining ensuring beans remain intact, which is a must if you've ever experienced a popped bean bag!
Another co-sleeper following in line with the Culla Belly co-sleper seen on Babyology a few weeks ago, is the Bloom Bassinet, designed by Natalie Keville.
The Bassinet sits on a stand that allows it to slide right up to your bed for safe co-sleeping. The mattress is made from felted organic cotton, a natural, waterproof, non-toxic, fire-safe, and dust mite proof material.
Our favourite feature is the motion sensor pad! This means even the slightest breathing movements will activate a pulsing illumination. The pulse emulates a calm breathing rhythm promoting a relaxed environment, by providing parents with a reassuring visual of their baby's wellbeing. The illumination can be set to a slow pulse, a steady glow or turned off depending on preference.
Another feature is that the stand can also be turned on its side to create a rocking bassinet and the stand converts to a reclining seat when baby outgrows the need for a bassinet.
We'll keep you posted but no word yet on when and where it can be purchased.
