Gaia Baby Serena Cot Bed + Bedside Crib Set

The BubsNest Verdict

The Gaia Baby Serena is a well-regarded multi-stage sleep system that transitions from a bedside crib to a full-size cot bed. Parents appreciate its sturdy, eco-friendly construction and curved, bump-free design. However, some report challenges with the bedside crib's fit and a desire for more customisation options. Overall, it's seen as a practical choice for growing families, though a few caution about compatibility with other nursery furniture.
