Pros: It is priced right, fits in a small room and has railing. It is low to the ground for safety.
Cons: I believe it only comes in white. The railing could be a little higher and the space between the railing and end board leaves enough room for the child to fall out. There is not a snug fit between the mattress and bed.

| bjcuevas's Full Review: Cosco Nod-a-Way Toddler Bed 10-B01 |
After shopping around for several weeks and watching for a bargain. My daughter purchased the Cosco Nod-a-Way Toddler bed for her son. She wanted something that would fit in his room, about the same size as the crib, low to the ground with railing on the sides. Many of the designs where very cute but didn't have rails to protect the child from falling out of bed. White was all they had in stock, the store clerk was not sure if it came in any other colors. Purchase was made at Toys R Us for $29.99, mattress or tax not included, which is a very good price compared to an average price of $100.00, with out mattress or tax. The listing price is $49.99.
The stock clerk was able to just slide it right into the back of the van with no problem. It was a little awkward carrying the box up the stairs but, not extremely heavy. There are not a lot of parts and you can follow the directions. It took a little over an hour to assemble. If you have any mechanical ability you will not have a problem putting it together.
The bed it self is hard plastic and easy to clean and the crib mattress fits as suggested but, it left space between the bed and the mattress which is easily remedied. Just take the crib padding that protects the baby from bumping the bars on the crib and insert around the mattress it fits snuggly and then put the sheet on over it. This works great and you don't have to worry about the child slipping between the mattress and the bed and suffocating.
The area left open between the railing and end board of the bed is the only problem my daughter has because her son does not always sleep in one place, he moves around and has fallen off the bed several times. The space is wide enough for a 2 year old to role right out. The bed is close to the ground about 10 to 12 inches high so, it is not a big drop.
The bed is probably good for about 3 years because of its size. An average 5 year old will sleep comfortably in this bed.
It is not the best bed you can buy.
I would recommend this bed for someone on a budget. Watch the sales papers it comes on sale every now and again.
