No electronic devices in the bedrooms at our house.

I would never be putting any electronic device in my kids cot. What happened to a good old fashioned mobile

Oh dear! Don’t think this is a good idea. But people probably already stick ipads on the cot somehow already anyway!

No no no! So wrong on so many levels. There’s no reason at all why babies would need this in their cot

If parents are stupid enough to buy it, why shouldn’t he be smart enough to make money? I think it is a horrible product but I have seen people setting phones up with “educational” shows for their baby (the youngest being 3 days old) so I know that this will be used for babysitting babies. As for not seeing kids outside, my 2 year old plays outside every day. I call it parenting.

I think this man is right. There are plenty of products that are misused or have the potential to be. He stated why he’s created the cot and even though there are already white noise makers and nightlights this is what has worked for him so he’s shared it in the hopes of helping others. I personally wouldn’t use it, but I don’t think he created it for lazy parents to leave their child in the cot all day.

Not a fan. A cot is for sleep not playing with an iPad.

This is completely changing the purpose of a cot. Personally I don’t think any baby need an iPad!

Fantastic cot every child needs a safe reliable cot and British Company have come up with the perfect solution. The iPad is the cream on the top of this wonderful design as one could sit with a baby whilst they slowly drift off to sleep listening to the lullaby of choice.

How to create little addicts !! Since when does a baby need an iPad ?

That is just awful. I wouldn’t even have a tv in my own room…

To my mind cots are to sleep in, not to play in. I think it is disgusting.

Other moms have summed this device up pretty well. And I also agree it’s not something I would try.

I don’t like the idea. I can imagine the arguments from the older kids saying but he gets to play all the time. It’s hard enough to limit their time when their older without starting them that young.

What about if hackers tap into the camera on the iPad? If it was a iPad which had a cover for the camera and could be removed for multipurpose play and it could be locked into a function say a sleep white noise mode then it could be appealing although children are learning to use technology too young

  You have some interesting questions. The cot and device come with to many questions and unknowns for my liking.

My instincts tell me this isn’t a good idea for a developing baby. Too much sensory overload I think.

I had a baby that wouldn’t settle well when we put her down which meant hours of stress for myself and a huge amount of no sleep. We did eventually try white noise and it worked a treat and now she is my best sleeper out of my two girls.

I am not sure about this design though – I would hope that the ipad screen would be dimmed while baby slept to encourage good deep sleep patterns. Maybe the ipad could have been placed somewhere else if it’s design concept is for soothing baby to sleep with things like white noise.

Not a product I would want – there are so many other ways to learn how to go to sleep.

No this is not for me. Maybe something playing in the room but not a screen in the actual bedding. Then my children were and some are very restless sleepers. Moving around a lot in the cot and now their beds. I actual thought this was normal until my sister pointed out her son was placed in one place and stayed there. Mine travelled all over the place.

This can’t be healthy. I wouldn’t touch this idea.
