 Topic: Mocka Aspiring Cot

Does anyone have a Mocka Aspiring Cot?

I like the look of them, and the price. They don't have drop sides, but are lower to the ground (89cm high, instead of 110cm for most). So I guess you drop baby in instead of lifting up and over or dropping the sides. Also have 2 base heights.
Would love to hear if anyone has one, or has seen one!
Cheers
BC

I have one, but the baby isn't here yet!
It was super easy to assemble, got the $99 mattress with it also and I personally like it very much (especially the price). Looks cool, too!

Thanks Julia - I liked the price too, and the fact you don't have to be fiddling with the latch one-handed, just drop them in haha! Also, in Europe they are talking about banning drop sides cos they are the things that usually cause a recall. Are they very low? Now worried about 2 naughty dogs jumping in!!

It is a fantastic cot. I have no problem 'dropping' the baby in. I am short, so maybe that helps? Although, I am regretting that it doesn't have drop sides with being pregnant again.

Well, I've got a greyhound and a boxer and even though the base is very low (compared to other cots) the bars are a really good height. My pretty big dogs certainly aren't gonna get in there!!
I'm from Germany so the european (no drop side, really basic) design appealed to me right away. And nothing beats that price for a new, unused cot!

I'll be fine the Julia - only a jack russell and a bull terrier here (though she is pretty springy). Someone suggested covering mattress in tinfoil - before baby arrives and temporarily of course, so cats get a fright when they jump on and don't do it again - should work for dogs. Then again if mine were better behaved!
Katep did you get the Mocka mattress too? What's it like?

We do have the matress. No problems, I assume it is comfortable as my baby sleeps...? I can't say I have experience to compare with other matresses.

Put mouse traps the plastic ones everywhere you don't want dogs or cats jumping up on... they work a treat.

Fill the cot with blown up balloons.
