Staying Away With Toddlers Over Christmas - How to Make It Easy!

Christmas is fast approaching, and if like me, you are facing the trials of staying with relatives or friends over the festive season with a newborn in tow, you might be dreading settling your toddler to sleep in an uncomfortable, creaking net-and-plastic travel cot shoe-horned into the corner of the guest room.

Those lovely baby-smart designers from Bloom baby have come up with the perfect solution. The Bloom Alma is a crib sized cot, very portable with its castors making it possible to wheel your sleeping baby between rooms, and it is so easy to fold up for storage when not in use. These design features makes it particularly suited to apartments or smaller rooms where space is at a premium. The size also makes the Alma ideal as a co-sleeper cot, in place of a flimsy Moses basket. It is stylish for a contemporary home, and very useful for second homes or grandparents homes.

The Alma crib is a fully portable, folding cot, with easy and quick 'no tools' assembly, so at holiday time you can be out of the car and popping baby into his familiar bed in no time. Bloom have even designed a 'carry and store' bag so that you can keep the cot clean, and keep all the pieces together when not in use. No more searching for lost screws or missing panels! The clever folding design with castors means that the cot can be popped into the bag and wheeled straight to the car for the journey home, or into the garage or boot room for storage.

As the Alma cot has solid wood construction, it is very sturdy and will last well beyond baby number one. Mattresses are available to purchase separately so that you can safely use the crib for other babies, ideal for Grandparents having a growing number of little ones to stay. You can choose from a firm, sprung mattress or an organic cocomat mattress. Accessories include an embroidered bumper, fitted sheets and mattress protectors, all produced in organic cotton.

You can rely on Bloom to be bang on trend too, so the cot is available in five superb finishes to suit all decors, from crisp white and rich cappuccino to the more contemporary gala green, harvest orange and frost grey.
