Safety

A bedside cots crib is a unique crib that connects seamlessly to the parents bed to provide a convenient way for parents to take care of their baby at night. The crib lets parents easily reach their infant to comfort or feed them while they are in bed. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who are new and may be suffering from sleep deprivation in the early months. It promotes healthy growth for the baby by creating a safe and comfortable environment.

A high-quality bedside crib will have a solid connections and an anti-slip design for the foot of the bed that reduces the risk of accidents that could result in harm to your baby. They also meet safety standards like BS EN 1130:2019, which helps to ensure your baby is safe and secure while they sleep. Check that the mattress in your crib is firm and not squishy. Also, look for any gaps or holes that could increase the danger of suffocation.

Avoid using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers to your baby's crib unless they were intended to be used in conjunction with a crib. They can be an extremely risk to safety, and may not meet 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 secured to the crib and don't protrude too far out of the edges.

Ask other parents for advice if you are unsure about certain pieces of equipment. Also, search for products that are new and have met current safety standards rather than those that have been handed down or second-hand. Examine the crib for any damage before buying it.

Another alternative is to purchase an infant bassinet. It's similar to a cot but usually is attached to your bed and doesn't have legs. These are perfect for newborns and are ideal for those recovering from an o-section. They keep your baby close to you at all times.

Size

Keep your baby close to you in the evening with the Sweet2Sleep crib for bedside. This clever crib has many features that will aid you in bonding with your newborn bedside cot and soothe them. It is ideal for midnight feedings as well as cuddles and comfort check-ups. You can easily raise or lower the crib's side rail with just one hand, to soothe and comfort your child for safe sleep monitoring. It has a gentle rocking function and an incline function to alleviate symptoms such as stomach pain and indigestion.

It comes with a huge storage space underneath the crib that is ideal for nappies or blankets. It's designed to fit divan beds which means you don't need to worry about the frame. One of our mum testers, Gulhan Arapoglu, said it's a good size, robust and easy to move around from room to room. She also said it's a bit heavier than other cribs for bed but that's because of the extra features, like the rocking mode and the reflux incline.

Firm mattresses are one of the most important features to look out for when choosing the crib. This can reduce the chance of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) because mattresses that are soft increase the likelihood of suffocation. A mattress that is firm is better for your baby as it's more comfortable and aids in healthy spinal growth.

You can purchase a crib mattress separately. We recommend that you invest in the best quality mattress to ensure your baby gets the best possible rest. Check that the mattress meets British safety standards and is of the correct size for your child.

If you're considering buying a bedside cot crib it's a good idea to do some careful shopping around to ensure that you're getting the best deal. Black Friday is a great opportunity to purchase cribs at a bargain. Make sure you buy cribs directly from the manufacturer to ensure that they are safe and meet the required safety standards.

Style

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

There's a broad range of different styles to choose from, but some features that you might like to be looking for are:

How easy is it to keep it clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is a machine washable mattress cover a must? What size is the mattress and can it be lowered or raised lowered to accommodate your bed? What is the weight and is it easy to move around your home, especially if you plan to use it in more than one room at a time?

Mum tester Jasmine particularly liked the fact that this crib is able to swivel, making it easier to reach into and out of to take her newborn. She also appreciated the size of the crib, saying it's not as big as a full-sized crib but it's larger than standard Moses baskets and is comfortable for baby. It's also simple to build and can be folded flat, making it easy to transport. It was quite heavy for some mums who were carrying it around, which could be a problem for those who have mobility problems.

Another option to think about is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket category. This crib is distinct from other cribs for beds in that it does not have drop-down panels, but instead an adjustable side that can be lower to allow baby to get closer. It's not as compact as other bedside cribs when dismantled, but it's still transportable 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 increase their baby's sleeping space beyond the newborn stage. However, it's not always needed.

Budget

The best cribs for your bed are those that sit next to 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. You can easily fold or zip the sides so you can grab them in the dark. They must also be breathable to give you a comfortable sleep. Most will come with a mattress, which is important because you need it to be firm and flat instead of extremely soft or lumpy.

You should also factor in how easy it is to put together - some cribs are easier than others, with the more complicated models likely costing more. Take into consideration whether the crib will work with your bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a specific kind of divan base, which can be an issue if you have a unique bed frame.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a good option for those who have divan beds. It was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. Our mom testers have given it a thumbs up, stating that it's made with high-quality mesh sides that allow you to see the baby's face through. It comes with a shelf to store nappies or blankets, and is lightweight at only 10kg.

SnuzPod4 is a different option. It comes in a variety of colors and our moms are in love with it. The SnuzPod4 is a slim and elegant option that offers plenty of space for babies to sleep comfortably. Our mums are also awed by features such as incline options, which help with reflux, as well as a relaxing rocking mechanism.

Both cribs can be bought for PS99 or less, making them more affordable than a Moses Basket if you're looking to save on the initial cost. Always adhere to safe sleeping guidelines and make sure the crib you select is secure.
