cheap. i bought an expensive baby cot and my kid refuse to sleep in it. he prefers sleeping on the mattress in our room. so ill definitely advice you to buy something cheap. when he is older then you can consider getting a mroe expensive permament bed.
wahhh. so scary. that is worst then losing ur child in a shopping centre. omg. at least i know i shall be more vigilant of any strangers trying to get close to my kids.
