Or rocking chair that transforms into a cradle. Koo is a new concept that has just been presented at ICFF, the same contemporary furniture fair in which Tatolino was presented. But unlike this furniture-toy that I liked, Koo, the mini cradle that becomes a rocking chair It doesn't convince me at all.
Not only can we use the mini-cradle for the baby to sleep, but if we want to sit down to feed him or sleep him with the rocking, we can, in a simple gesture, turn the bassinet into a rocking chair.
The idea of Lunar, the brand that has designed it, is influenced by the new trend in children's furniture, versatile, practical and functional. However, I believe that in this case it has not been successful with the double functionality. Simply, because it wouldn't occur to me to sit (or, more explicitly, put my butt) in the crib where my baby usually sleeps.
On the other hand, the design can be very beautiful, but you can't say it looks too comfortable. Of course, he lacks at least one mattress for the baby and some cushions for the mother to support her back.
In any case, it is only a concept that can improve. What I don't see at all is the simultaneity of use. Once the baby's first months have passed, when I no longer use the mini-crib, I do see sense to use it as a rocking chair. In fact, I like this function much more than that of bassinet.
