We have a Mother's Choice one that I love (It's 10 years old though as MIL friend gave it to us. (She actually gave us 2 as she had twins!))
One problem is it only has one level which is low iygwim. The mattress height can't be adjusted higher for a NB. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I wouldnt buy a mothers choice now - Im talking last year - we took ours back after our little girl, then 1 got stuck in it - even with the right mattress etc etc I had to get DH to help me wedge her arm out - the gaps at the head and end of the cot are too wide
Have a genesis from the baby factory now, stupidly expensive but I love it If I was buying today Id get a mocka - very funky and practical ------------- http://lilypie.com]

I really liked the Genesis ones! But didn't get one because we got our 2 free.
I liked them due to their size and the one we looked at could be converted into a little bed after iygwim. However it wouldn't have fit well in her room as they are American size and bigger than normal standard size cots. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| We got ours online from The Cot Store. It was really reasonable, and it looks great and is really sturdy. |

I love my touchwood cot - brilliant that it starts off as a bassinet hieght, then drops donw to cot, converts to toddler bed, and then a "couch" for the kids room (strong enough to sit two adults comfortably). ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

We have a Groyears. It's lovely.
Since moving Hannah to her big bed last year we took the side off it and she uses it as a couch for reading, and all her soft toys sit on it. -------------

I love the genesis cots! Unfortunately we didn't buy a cot until I was nearly ready to pop and money was a bit tight, so went with a farmers one. Though I must say the farmers one isn't half bad! I think it's a rosa cot. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
