Safety

A bedside crib is an innovative crib that seamlessly connects with the parents' bed to provide a convenient method for them to take care of their infant at night. This crib lets them access their child easily so that they can feed or soothe them without having to leave the bed, which is helpful for new parents who suffer from sleep deprivation in the early years. It also assists in encouraging a healthy growth of the baby by providing a safe and comfortable environment for sleeping.

A high-quality crib for bed will have a solid connection and an anti-slip design at the foot of the bed. This reduces the chance of accidents that could harm your baby. They will also conform to safety standards like BS EN 1130:2019, which helps to ensure your baby is safe and secure when they sleep. Make sure the mattress in your crib is firm and not squishy. Also, look for any holes or gaps that could increase your child's risk of suffocation.

It is also recommended to be wary of using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they're designed specifically for use with a cot or crib as they could pose danger and not be safe. Also, make sure that any toys your baby plays with in the crib is securely secured and does not extend too far.

Ask other parents for advice if you are unsure about specific pieces of equipment. Also, look for items that are brand new and have met the current safety standards instead of those that have been passed down or second-hand. If you're looking to purchase a crib that is used, be sure to make sure you check it for damages and ensure that all components are in place before purchasing it.

A bassinet is an alternative. It is similar to a crib, but it is typically attached to your bed. It does not have legs. They're great for newborns and are especially beneficial if you're recovering from a C-section as they're a perfect way to keep your baby close by your side throughout the day.

Gulhan Arapoglu said that it was a good size, sturdy and easy to move from room room. She also said that it is a little heavier than other cribs for bed however this is because of the additional features like the ability to rock or a reflux incline.

A mattress that is firm is a healthier choice for your child as it's more comfortable and supports healthy growth of the spine.

Style

A foldable bedside crib crib is an attached bassinet to your bed. They're great to keep your baby close to you, so you can easily reach them for night feedings or help them go back to sleep during nap time. These are also great for mums who have had csections and are unable to get up in the middle night to take care of their baby.

There are many different styles available however, you should search for the following characteristics:

How easy is it to keep clean - can it be cleaned by hand or is an easy-to-clean mattress cover required? What size is the bed and can you adjust it to accommodate? It is easy to move, but how heavy is it?

Mum test subject Jasmine particularly liked the fact that this crib can swivel, which made it easier to reach in and out of to take her newborn. She also appreciated the size of the crib, saying it's not as big as a standard crib, but it's larger than typical Moses baskets and is comfortable for babies. It's also easy to put together and it folds flat, making it easy to transport. Some mothers found it to be somewhat heavy, however, and this may be an issue for those who have mobility issues.

Another option 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 in that it doesn't include a drop-down panel and instead has an adjustable side you can lower so that you can reach your baby.

Other cribs are designed to transform into a toddler bed or cot with an expansion kit. This can be beneficial for families who want to expand their baby's sleeping space beyond the infant stage. However, it's not always necessary.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use will sit right by your bed, which means you can watch your baby and attend to feedings at night and changing nappy without having to get out of your own bed. It is easy to fold or close the sides so that you can reach them in the dark. They should also be breathable to offer comfort. The majority will have beds, which are ideal as you do not want it to be too hard or clumpy.

The cost of the more complicated models will likely be higher. Finally, consider whether the crib is designed to fit your bed or not. Certain cribs can only be fitted to the specific divan base. This could be a problem for you if you own a bedframe that is more unique.

The Next2me Magic crib, which is a favorite among those who have a divan, is a great option for those who already own one. It was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, in the category of the best Cot or Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-constructed, with high mesh sides so you can see the baby's face. Our mum testers gave it a thumbs up. It also has a convenient storage shelf for nappies and blankets, and is relatively lightweight at 10kg.

SnuzPod4 is another option. It comes in a variety of colors, and our mothers enjoy it. The SnuzPod4 is a slim and sleek option that still offers plenty of room for baby to rest comfortably. Our mums also love the features, such as the incline option, which help with reflux, as well as a relaxing rocking mechanism.

Both cribs can be bought at PS99 or less, which makes them a more affordable option than a Moses Basket if you are looking to cut costs on the initial cost of your purchase. You should always remember to follow safe sleep guidance however, and ensure that the crib you purchase is in compliance with the Lullaby Trust code for safety.
