What is a bedside crib?

A bedside cot crib crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a small baby crib that can be attached to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep comfortably next to you. This is a form of safe co-sleeping that doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you build a bond with your new arrival.

These cots often have a side that is able to be raised, so you can easily reach your infant at night to feed and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mums recovering from a c-section. Many of them are portable or foldable which means you can use them for travel and as an interim solution for babies who aren't ready to move to a larger crib.

Choose a crib that has a mattress that is breathable, as well as an appropriate cover to shield your baby from staining. You might also want to purchase some baby-safe accessories like the blanket or teether.

If you're looking for a long-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a cot or a toddler bed when the time comes. This is a great way to extend their lifespan and making the transition more seamless. Some have a removable section at the top that can be converted into a bassinet. Other models can be used with either a regular adult bed or a high-rise model. This is an excellent choice for families who plan to frequently travel or switch between bedrooms in the evening. Take into consideration the dimensions of your room to make sure you can fit comfortably in the crib. Many cribs come with an adjustable riser that can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.

The Joie Roomie Glide

The Roomie Glide, a bedside crib made by the English brand Joie, is a great addition to their range of high-quality products for infants. This co-sleeper was designed to enable parents to bond and sleep side by side with their babies, without sharing a single bed. It's packed with features that make bonding between parent and baby safe, easy, and fun.

One of the most important features is a smooth, rocking motion that can be activated at the push of a button. This will help soothe your baby to sleep with a gentle rhythm that doesn't disrupt their normal sleeping routine. This is ideal for toddlers and older babies who struggle to settle. It can also help with digestive issues like colic and reflux.

The crib can be locked in place once the rocking is finished to stop it from moving and can also be secured on the bed's side by clips and straps. This makes the crib stable and secure and allows you to sleep comfortably without fearing that your baby will roll off into the middle. The cocoon's rounded shape is complemented by softly padded side panels and double mesh windows at both ends. This allows airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.

The mattress is soft and firm. It is covered in a washable material. The crib is easy to assemble and disassemble with a lightweight aluminium frame that makes it very portable. The four locking wheels are covered in rubber to ensure the crib won't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. The crib is easy to clean with the fabric that is washable and is able to be easily tucked away in bags for the duration of your stay.

The Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir

Created to be a safe next-to-me crib from birth to six months old, this top model has rocking bars and castors to allow for easy mobility. Its deluxe airflow mattress offers an ideal sleeping surface and ventilation panels ensure your baby is kept cool. There are six different height settings including an incline option that can aid with congestion and reflux.

In contrast to other cribs for bed that can be a challenge to clean due to their endless stream of dribble and snot, the Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir comes with a wipe-clean liner and fabric that can be removed to wash in the machine. It also has an upper bar that can be easily adjusted to feed at night without having to search for zips in the dark.

Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfy sleeping space for her infant. She was pleased that it didn't move like other models so she didn't wake up at night while trying to soothe her baby to feed. She also liked that the side of the chair was lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner in order to carry the child out for nighttime feedings.

The CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a chic option for any bedroom. It's more modern than other cribs we've tried that are usually utilitarian. It's also relatively lightweight at just 11kg and comes with a carry bag so you can carry it with you on holiday or if you're moving home. It's all you need to buy is an extra waterproof sheet and safety strap to sleep with your partner. The instructions and pictures are easy to follow when you first open the box.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside that helps parents feel closer to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down and moved to three different slide positions, to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner, so the baby is always within reach. The mesh siding allows air to flow through and allows you to quickly see your baby. And you can store additional pajamas and other items in the large storage basket under.

The Iora is a smaller bedside crib with changing table cot that can fold flat. It also comes with a travel bag which allows it to be taken anywhere. It was easy to move from room to room, and our mom testers thought it was the perfect size for a bedside cots for newborns crib. The large storage basket is ideal for storing extra bedding or nappies.

This is a great choice for parents looking to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but do not want to share their own beds or whose partners may have mobility issues, like arthritis or back pain. Our mum testers loved that they could easily access their child while in the Iora and that it had an adjustable reflux incline that helped reduce gas.

Our mothers are thrilled that the mattress adheres to NICE guidelines. These include placing the infant in a Moses basket or crib on its own, without blankets, toys and pillows. They also say that the mattress is firm and comfortable for baby and is easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as other smaller cribs on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier for you to move, choose another alternative.
