Test result preview
The VonDerWelt baby cot grows with the child and impresses in numerous categories. Product protection is guaranteed by sturdy cardboard packaging that provides adequate protection for the bed. There is no unnecessary packaging waste, but a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic film would be desirable. The package contents are complete and the instructions for use are in German and easy to understand, with the product being largely self-explanatory. The visual appearance is appealing and the workmanship of the bed is very good, which contributes to the high stability in all variants. Although no specific information is given on the sustainability of the product, the use of high-quality materials indicates a long service life. The conversion mechanism is very well thought out and makes it easy to switch between different uses such as a co-sleeper, cot, playpen or table. Safety is guaranteed by rounded edges and safe workmanship. The adaptability of the bed is impressive, as it can be used in many different shapes. The bed is also easy to clean, which makes it very easy to care for. In terms of ergonomics and comfort, it offers outstanding comfort for all those tested.

The first impression

Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
