[annaspanner]

Thinking about getting one of these but can't find any info on what age they are suitable for or reviews. There seem to be different versions on ebay/jk etc. Can anyone help?
Thanks

The search function (top right) is quite good for this kind of thing. Some threads that cropped up:

I use the Bluebird one....my 11 year old has outgrown it a couple years ago but still fine for my 7 yr old. That said since I fitted the pop top I tend to just use it as a shelf when parked up. Quality bit of kit and easy to fit. I have also used the seats as a bed by putting a couple thick camping mats across but I have a bench seat and drivers seat so much more supportive.

^^^ that looks great can u send me a link pls. Did it need modifiying to fit

[annaspanner]

Thanks for the picture. I've seen that one advertised - it looks good. We sold our bay and bought a t25 hightop, but its missing the pull out board and mattress and our little one is only 6 months at the moment so too small to go up there, and travel cots are huge. Has anyone used one of these for a baby?

[Jamesy]

could someone advise where that bluebird one pictured above can be bought?

also will it fit in a high top that has the boards in to make the room above therefore making the cabin space shorter?

But well. Nice solutions!
I found this one a neat solution as well, but it's more meant for an infant:

It's Dutch actually.
Let me see if I can help you get along. The original thread is: http://www.bus-forum.nl/forum/viewtopic ... 7&p=246192" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
First post in the thread:

The guy explains that he bought this set: http://www.lila-bus-shop.de/Kinderbette ... ersal.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Google Translate of the page:
The bed was indeed designed for the T5. Due to its fully telescoped parts but it can in almost every camper (or caddy, Berlingo, etc.) are used. !!!!

After initial installation the rod lock the bed is mounted within 5 minutes and ready to use. Just as quickly it is taken down. With a minimum possible pack size of about 13 * 17 * 114 cm of fabric and bars can be stored anywhere without any problems. The voltage of the bed can also be adjusted in the installed state (without children) with only 2 simple steps
The bed is fixed by means of 2 straps on the headrest. Side of the dashboard towards the bed stands on 2 telescopic feet. By adjusting the straps and the feet the deck height can be varied.
The bed is not on the dashboard or speaker shelves.
Material: It is very strong and pre-washed S toff (very stable).

The bed design engages nowhere to open the doors or the body. You can therefore still excellent use of the space under the mattress and in the footwell as storage space.
Laterally are fabric straps sewn (height approximately 28 cm on both sides. The plates are hung with rubber expanders above in existing attachment point or in the supplied plastic eyelets.
Supplied with all necessary mounting hardware are included.
Even if you should currently still be childless or children are times larger and rather sleep in the high roof or tent: Our Crib offers a quick-mounted and universal shelf space for clothing, luggage, shoes, jackets and much more ....
The size of the bed is about 73 * 127 to 20 kg cloth color may vary from illustration

Don't know how it will fit the T25.

But the bed made as shown in the yellow bus, he says:

I few months ago I also created a baby / crib itself. Needed: 2 poles, 3 meter canvas, 1 meter wire mesh, snaps, grommets. Total cost not more than 50 euros.

But he does not explain how he did it.

This is also an option: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewto ... ts&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
