It is infinitely height-adjustable and adapts perfectly to a box spring bed – with no gap, no step and no wobbling. This creates a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for your baby. The flexible strap fastening is particularly practical, allowing easy attachment to the parents’ bed. The co-sleeper also offers a generous sleeping surface that is also suitable for twins.
