Tinks, two of my three girls who live in Scotland, received one of these and were delighted with them.
They both found the temperature thing very useful, and the stretchy baby carrier whatsit was used till the babies got too heavy.
From what I remember, the baby box itself, as a ‘cot’ for baby to sleep in, is to encourage mums not to co sleep with a small baby, apparently this is fairly common and quite dangerous.
All the very best to you for a wonderfully happy outcome in January.
