    So, a specialty bed (expensive) that needs a huge room (expensive) and custom sheets (expensive) since normal sheets wont fit that will be obscelete when your kid is too big. I assume there is an insert for the baby's space but then you have this weird non-contiguous piece in your bed that will probably feel weird to sleep on. So, an 11 out of 10?

    But if the baby has always been used to dividing the bed with the parents, then they will keep it even bigger, when will they sleep alone? Will we have a little thirty who sleeps still with mom and dad? I'm a fool of such a bed. Unless the hole closes and just slices the baby does not go to his bed. At that point you have one because it's such a big bed.

    I see many flaws in this. 1. Barely and young parents have that much money and a huge bed. 2. What is up with the "parents"? They look 2D. 3. What about when the baby is a toddler? Or a child? Or teen? The bed will have no purpose whatsoever. 4. What happens if these new parents have twins?

    I don't like the feeling, that everything has to be under control, and also to connect something with your phone all the time. Yes, you will see illness faster, but I think it makes parents less care, in an unintentionally way. You watch your phone instead of your baby and this is clearly wrong to me.
