WHO: Snüz - SnüzKot Skandi

WHY: The judges were impressed by these stylish and frankly clever cot that not only make the perfect nursery centre piece it also offers great value for money and practical benefits for parent and child.

They also loved the modern and minimal Scandinavian design and range of colours and style options available.
Interesting design and very versatile
What a genius and cost saving idea! I just wish this was around when my kids were small as it would have saved me a fortune!
I love this bed's clean minimalism and that it will last until your child is 10. An excellent investment.
Really stylish. Having kids is so expensive. This is a great way to make it all the more affordable
Such a brilliant design piece and fantastic value for money.

JUNIOR DESIGN AWARDS 2020 JOINT SILVER WINNER: Best Cot / Cot Bed Design
WHO: Shnuggle - The Shnuggle Air Complete Sleep System
WHAT: The Shnuggle Air - with the complete sleep system is the only bedside crib which coverts to a cot - offering a crib-to-cot transition for a baby right up until approx. 2 years old.
WHY: A two part system that really caught our judges eyes - they loved that the bedside crib allows parent and baby to sleep close without sharing the same bed and then you could transform this into a cot. Making the transition easy for both parents and child. Additional design points were given for the dual-view, breathable mesh sides, breathable, hypo-allergenic fibre mattress, 7 x height adjustments ( fits most bed heights) and the gentle incline option (helps ease colic/reflux).
Clever bedside crib that can convert into a full- size cot. Styled in white and slate grey
Duality is key, I like how it can transition from newborn to cot. Great balance of style and practicality. The under cot storage is handy
Great if you're looking for a stylish refresh on a traditional crib.
A very well thought out design - this is a clever bed.
