Safety

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

A high-quality travel bedside crib crib will have a solid connection and an anti-slip design at the foot of the bed. This reduces the risk of accidents that could harm your baby. They also meet safety standards like BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure that your child is safe and secure while they are asleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress included in your crib is firm, not soft, and also look for any gaps which could increase your baby's danger of suffocation or getting trapped.

Also, you should avoid using duvets, pillows, or baby bumpers in your baby's crib unless they're designed specifically to be used in conjunction with a cot or a crib because they could be an immediate danger and not meet safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any toy your baby uses in the crib is securely secured and does not protrude out too far.

Ask other parents for their 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 ones that were passed down or second-hand. If you're going to buy an older crib, make sure you check it thoroughly for damage and ensure all the parts are there before purchasing it.

Another alternative is to buy the bassinet, which is like a cot, but usually is attached to your bed and does not have legs. They are great for babies and are particularly beneficial if you're recovering from a C-section because they're the perfect way to keep your baby close by your side throughout the day.

Size

Keep your baby close to you in the evening with the Sweet2Sleep bedside travel crib crib. This crib is a clever design with many features that help you bond with your newborn and calm them. It is perfect for midnight feedings as well as cuddles and comfort checks. You can easily raise or lower the crib's side rail with only one hand, to soothe and comfort your child or for a safe way to monitor sleep. It also has a gentle rocking mode and incline function to ease the symptoms of reflux, such as stomach pain or indigestion.

It has a huge storage area underneath the crib that's perfect for nappies and blankets. It's also designed to fit divan beds which means you don't need to worry about your frame. Gulhan Arapoglu stated that it was a good size, sturdy, and easy to move from room room. She also said it's heavier than some cribs for beds but that's because of the extra features such as a rocking mode and reflux incline.

Firm mattresses are one of the most important features to look for when choosing the crib. Mattresses that are soft can increase the chance of SIDS, which is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A mattress that is firm will be healthier for your baby's health, since it is more comfortable and promotes healthy spinal development.

You can purchase the crib mattress separately. We suggest to purchase the best quality mattress to ensure your baby gets the best quality sleep. Check that the crib mattress is in compliance with British safety standards and that it's the right size for your baby.

Style

A bedside crib is a baby bassinet that attaches to the sides of your bed. These cribs are great to keep your baby close so that you can reach them easily for meals at night and also to soothe them back to sleep during nap time. They're also great for mums who have had c-sections and struggle to get up in the middle night to care for their infant.

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

How easy it is to keep it clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is a machine washable mattress cover essential? What size is the bed and can you adjust it to accommodate? It is easy to move, but how heavy is it?

Jasmine who was a mom tester, liked that the crib rotates. This made it easier for her to reach in and out of it to pick up her baby. She also appreciated the size, saying that it is not as large as a full-sized baby crib but it is larger than standard Moses baskets. It is also comfortable for her infant. It's also simple to put together and folds up flat for easy transportation. Some moms complained that it was to be a bit heavy, however, which could be a problem for those with mobility issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option that you can look into. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. This is distinct from other cribs for beds in that it does not have an adjustable panel, but instead an adjustable side that can be lowered to allow baby to get closer. It's not as compact when dismantled like other cribs, but it's still fairly mobile and comes with a bag for easy storage.

Some cribs can be transformed into a toddler or cot by using an expansion kit. This can be a beneficial feature for families who are looking to extend the lifespan of their baby's sleeping space long past the infant stage, but it's not always necessary.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use can be placed right next to your bed, so you can keep an eye on baby and attend to night feeds and nappy changes without needing to get out of bed. They'll typically have sides that fold or zip down easily, to allow you to reach over in the dark to scoop them up and they'll also be breathable for your comfort. Most will come with an upholstered bed, which is ideal because you don't want it to be too hard or clumpy.

It is also important to consider the ease of build - some cribs are simpler than others, with the more complicated models likely costing more. Consider whether the crib is made to fit your own bed or not. Some cribs may only fit a certain type of divan base. This could be a problem if you have a bed frame that is more unusual.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a great choice for those with a divan bed, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-constructed with high-quality mesh sides that let you see the baby's face. Our mum testers have given it a thumbs up. It comes with a shelf to store nappies or blankets, and weighs just 10kg.

Another option is the SnuzPod4, which comes in a variety of colors and our moms have been very pleased with it too. They like the simplicity of it, and how it's sleek, but still provides ample space for babies to rest comfortably. And they appreciate the additional features, like incline options to help with reflux, as well as a soothing rocking mechanism.

Both of these cribs are sold for PS99 or less and are an affordable alternative to a Moses basket when you're looking to reduce the cost of an initial investment. It is important to follow the guidelines for safe sleeping though, and check that the crib you buy meets the Lullaby Trust code for safety.
