My baby loves this crib!
June 13, 2021
I really love the Stokke Sleepi Mini Crib, but some of the features that make it great also have a negative other side.
I have been using the Sleepi Mini for my now two month old second baby. My babies tend to wake quickly when they aren't being touched or held. I had a standard mini crib for my first, but even a regular mini crib was too much space for him. He never slept well in it, and eventually it became more like an extra storage space rather than a crib.
With our new baby girl, I again tried my son's original crib, but had the same results. After getting the Sleepi Mini, however, she fell right to sleep! I thought it was a fluke, but she continued to sleep well in the new crib. I think what helped was the shape and that it was a smaller size than even a regular mini crib. No matter which way she turned, part of her was touching the crib edge, and that was comforting for her.
The crib itself is adorable, doesn't take up a lot of space, and is very high quality. It has wheels on the bottom that move smoothly, and it was small enough to easily fit through doorways. It's great, because she can always be nearby even while sleeping in her crib. It was also very easy to assemble. I had it fully put together within an hour despite my two year old "helping" to assemble it.
I liked the idea of being able to convert the mini crib to bigger sizes as she grows. However, it does not come with the parts to convert it. Instead, a kit needs to be purchased for each stage separately. Then, a new mattress also needs to be purchased. Due to the unique shape, mattress and sheet options have extremely limited choices available.
Despite the extra cost for each stage and limited selection for mattresses and sheets, I'm still going to convert when she outgrows the mini. It is very sturdy, looks nice, and she's comfortable and happy in it. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this crib - it has definitely become a favorite.
