Is a Bedside Crib Co Sleeper Right For Your Baby?

If you want to keep your baby close to you for an easy nighttime feeding, a crib with a co-sleeper at the bedside is the best option. They're a safer alternative to traditional Moses baskets, and are in line with the official guidelines for safe sleeping from the Lullaby Trust and NHS.

Home testers love that the crib can rotate 360 degrees for easy access. It also features an adjustable mattress height to fit your bed. It folds up easily and comes with a carry-on bag for trips away from home.

Safety

bedside rocking crib cribs are an excellent way to keep baby close by throughout the night without putting them at risk of suffocation or overheating. They are attached to the sides of your bed, so you can easily reach out to soothe or feed your infant in the middle of the night, and they're perfect for mothers recovering from an op. There are a variety of factors to think about before purchasing one.

When you're looking for a bedside crib make sure you're choosing a model that complies with current safety standards. Many older cribs were recalls due to the danger of strangulation or entrapment caused by the gaps between the mattress and the sides as well as the crib. Check that the crib you choose is compliant with the latest BS EN1130:2019 safety standard, which will be launched in November 2020.

The most significant change to the new regulations is that bedside cribs will not have drop-down sides. Most models have 'half height' walls, which still allow your child to sleep on your bed, but also offer a more secure barrier since they are a bit below the mattress. All of the models we have listed meet these new requirements. This includes the Graco Pack 'n Play On The Go and the Chicco Lullago which were both shortlisted for the Mother&Baby Award 2017

Verify that the crib is securely attached to your bed, and that it is correctly fixed. This is especially crucial if you plan to use the crib with a sidecar sleeping system like the Graco Pack 'n Play On The Go or the Graco BassiNest Premiere which were both shortlisted for the Mother and Baby Awards.

It's important to remember that a crib is only designed for sleeping and should not be used with bedding or other items like pillows, blankets, toys, or stuffed animal.
