A few days before my daughters first birthday, she taught herself to climb out of her cot. As it's a long fall once she gets to the top, we had to make alternate plans. A quick scan of the internet revealed a cheap cot sized bed was $180 and anything cool was much more.
So I did what any normal father would do. I went shopping at bunnings, hid in the shed, fired up the computer and video projector and built a bed.
The hood lifts to reveal a toy box in the front (and I know it lifts the wrong way) and there is a drawer underneath for more storage.
She spent her first night in it last night and loved it.
