Babybett Suiko: Four Years of Baby Furniture All in One Piece

Q: When is a crib not a crib?
A: When it's also a rocking chair and a bed. So goes the riddle of the Babybett (that's "babybed" in German) Suiko, a slick multi-functional piece that can be your baby's crib, rocking chair and toddler bed, all in one. A great companion to Evolutionary Chair and Table, which grow with your child, the Babybett helps you keep up with your fast-growing youngster.
With baby furniture (as with all furnishings), the longer you can make it work, the better; four years is pretty good when it comes to beds 'n such for your little ankle-biters. Don't forget to Freepeat it when your little one isn't so little any more and hit the jump for more pics. ::Design3000 via ::NotCot.org
What a beautiful piece of design... the fact that it lasts 4 years without having to take an Allen key to it every 8 months should make it a great seller!
I hope Mamas & Papas take notice!
This is fabulous. We used a hand-me-down crib for our baby but if we bought new then this would be a great find.
Most cribs today are able to be converted into toddler beds, like this one. And though it's a beautiful design, I'm not sure it's practical. Is baby going to be happy in a box where he/she can't even see out? And while the rocking feature would come in handy, it's not really a stand-in for rocking your baby in your arms.
So unless this wood is sustainably harvested, I'm not sure why this is a "green" crib.
The design is nice, but what is the sustainable part on it?
It's made of plywood( not recyclable) and has fake leather on the inside...
Just a thought.....
