Safety

A bedside cot crib is an innovative crib that is seamlessly connected to the parents bed to provide a comfortable way for parents to care for their baby at night. This crib allows parents to easily reach their baby so that they can soothe or feed them without leaving their bed. This is especially beneficial for mothers who are new and may be suffering from sleep deprivation in the beginning of their pregnancy. It promotes healthy growth for the baby by creating an environment that is safe and secure.

A high-quality bedside crib will have a solid connection and an anti-slip design on the foot of the bed. This helps reduce the chance of accidents that could hurt your baby. The cribs also have safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures your baby is secure and safe while they sleep. Make sure that the mattress that comes in your crib is firm and not soft. Also, check for any gaps or holes that could increase the risk of suffocation.

Avoid using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers to your baby's crib unless they were designed to be used in conjunction with a crib. They can pose a serious safety hazard, and may not be up to the required safety standards. You should also make sure that any toys or other items your baby is playing with in the crib are securely anchored to the crib, and aren't too far out of the crib's edges.

Ask other parents for suggestions when you're not sure about specific pieces of equipment. Also, look for items that are brand new and have met current safety standards rather than ones that were passed down or used. Make sure the crib is free of damage before buying it.

A bassinet is a different option. It's like a crib but is usually fixed to your bed. It does not have legs. They are great for newborns and are ideal for those recovering from the c-section. They keep your baby close to you at all times.

One of the most important things to look for in a crib is a mattress that is firm. Mattresses with soft mattresses can increase the chance of SIDS, also known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A firm mattress is also a healthier choice for your baby as it's more comfortable and supports healthy spinal growth.

You can buy a crib mattress on its own. However, we recommend to purchase an excellent mattress to ensure your baby gets the best sleep possible. Check that the mattress meets British safety standards and is the correct size for your child.

If you're considering purchasing a bedside cot crib it's a good idea to do some careful shopping around to make sure you're getting the best price.

Style

A bedside co sleeper cot crib is a bassinet that is attached to the bed's side. They're perfect to keep your newborn close to you so you can easily reach them for night feedings or soothe them back to sleep during nap times. They're also a blessing for mothers recovering from c-section births, who can find it difficult to get out of bed to tend to their baby during the night.

There are many different styles available but you should look for the following qualities:

Can it be cleaned with a machine or does it require an easy-to-clean mattress cover? What size is the bed and can you adjust it to fit? It is easy to move and how heavy is it?

Mum test-taker Jasmine particularly loved the fact that this crib swivels, which made it easier to reach into and out of to pick up her newborn. She also liked the size of it although she said it's not as big as a full-sized crib but is bigger than standard Moses baskets and is a comfortable crib for babies. It's also easy to build and can be folded flat, making it easy to transport. Some mums found it somewhat heavy, however, and this could be a problem for those with mobility issues.

Another alternative to consider is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category. This crib is distinct from other cribs for beds in that it does not have an adjustable panel, but instead an adjustable side that can be lower to make it easier for baby to reach. It's not as compact as other bedside cribs when dismantled, but it is still mobile and comes with a travel bag.

Some cribs can be converted into a cot or toddler using an expansion kit. This feature can be useful for families looking to expand their baby's sleeping space beyond the newborn stage. However, it's not always needed.

Budget

The best cribs for your bed are ones that are placed near your bed, so that you can look after your baby, change diapers at night and feed your baby without having to get up from your bed. It is easy to fold or zip the sides down so you can reach them in the dark. They should also be breathable to give you a comfortable sleep. Many will come with mattresses, which are important because you want it to be a bit firm and flat, not extremely soft or lumpy.

The cost of more complicated models will be more expensive. Take into consideration whether the crib is suitable for your bed or not. Some cribs are only suitable for the specific divan base. This could be a problem for you if you have a bed frame that is more unique.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a good choice for those with divan beds. It was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the The Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. It was well-made, with high mesh sides to let you see the baby's face. Our mum testers liked it and gave it a thumbs-up. It also has a convenient storage shelf to store nappies and blankets and is light at 10kg.

SnuzPod4 is a different option. It is available in a variety of colours and our mums love it. They love the simplicity of it, and how it's sleek, yet it offers ample space for babies to sleep comfortably, and they love the additional features, including incline options to help with reflux, as well as the soothing rocking mechanism.

Both cribs are available for PS99 or less and are a more budget-friendly option than a Moses basket when you're trying to save money on an initial investment. Always follow safe sleeping guidelines and make sure the crib you pick is safe.
