Sleepi Crib and Bassinet Set
Posted by Jaime Derringer on 06.04.09 in Home Furnishings
There aren’t too many modern crib designs out there, although I have been seeing an increase in modern baby design as of late. This crib and bassinet set
has refreshing clean rounded edges, a contrast to the hard rectangular modern lines of many modern cribs.

While the Stokke Sleepi system is super stylish it’s function is limited once your child moves into the crib size and can stand. We purchased the full system; bassinet, crib and jnr. bed for our daughter and loved almost everything about it. The two things that make this design one I can not recommend are; ergonomics are poor once your baby is standing and crib mattress is moved to lowest setting and jnr. bed design is missing a safety element.
When your child starts standing up in the crib the mattress gets moved to the lowest setting (which is only a few inches off the ground). This means that the parent must lean over the side of the crib bending at the waist to pick up a child who is at least 15lbs. The primary care giver is lifting the child out of crib (waist up against rail) four or more times a day. The ergonomics are very hard on the lower back.
Then when the child moves to the toddler bed (same setup as crib – mattress at lowest setting but with once side of crib removed) you little one can roll right out of bed. They do not offer a side rail and as small one’s do not yet sleep under blankets there is nothing to keep them in bed at night. We rigged a wooden Evenflow crib rail with zip ties that worked and matched wood but it would have been nice if the wonderful design team at Stokke had considered this. Having your two year old waking up several times during the night on the floor made me think that no matter how good this crib looked I didn’t want to own it a minute longer.
