Ben and Fiona, my best friends, have a fifteen-month-old son. They like travelling a lot so they often take their child with them. They also have two French bulldogs that are treated like members of the family. The boy sleeps in one of those travel cot beds that you simply assemble and put on the floor. I would be a bit afraid to leave the child so near the dogs, even if they are very friendly creatures. It"s not very hygienic, isn^t it? Even if thr boy needs a travel cot, I would rather choose something with a higher mattress. Their child uses one of those standard cot beds at home, of course. It"s a simple cot with a teether. I guess it"s very safe for the child and it also looks good. The bed matches all other furniture items in the nursery. And I must say that the room looks really attractive. The walls are painted sky blue with some rainbow motifs near the ceiling. There is a huge smiling sun on the ceiling and a picture of an apple tree on the door. The white wardrobe, chest of drawers, sofa, armchair and dressing table create a perfect contrast with the blue walls and brown wooden floor. They found the cot beds at a French shopping centre when they visited Paris last year. It was something they had been looking for so they decided to buy one and take it home in their car.
