Safety

A bedside crib crib is a unique crib that connects seamlessly to parents' beds to provide an easy way to take care of their infant at night. This crib allows them to access their child easily so that they can feed and comfort their child without having to leave the bed. This is useful for new parents who suffer from sleep apnea during those early months. It also assists in encouraging the development of a healthy baby by providing a secure and comfortable sleeping environment.

A good quality bedside cot crib (try here) will have a sturdy connection and anti-slip design for the foot of the bed which reduces the chance of accidents that could result in harm to your baby. They also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130:2019, which helps to ensure your baby is safe and secure when they sleep. Make sure that the mattress that comes in your crib is firm and not squishy. Also, check for any holes or gaps that could increase your child's risk of suffocation.

Avoid using pillows, duvets or baby bumpers to your baby's crib in the event that they were not intended to be used in conjunction with a crib. They can pose a serious safety hazard, and may not meet the required safety standards. You should also make sure that any toys or other items your baby plays with in the crib are securely attached, and that they do not protrude too far of the crib's edges.

If you're not sure about a certain piece of equipment, consult other parents in an NCT group or at a baby cafe for help, and make sure you look for a product that is brand new and complies with current safety standards, rather than second-hand or hand-me-downs. Make sure the crib is free of damage before buying it.

Another option is to invest in 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, as they're a perfect method to keep your baby close and at your side at all times.

Style

A bedside crib is a baby bassinet that attaches to the side of your bed. They're perfect for keeping your newborn close to you so that you can easily reach them for night feedings or to soothe them to sleep during nap time. These are also great for mums who have had c-sections and are unable to get up in the middle night to take care of their infant.

There's a variety of styles to pick from, but some of the features that you may want to look for are:

Can it be cleaned by machine or does it require an easy-to-clean mattress cover? How big is the mattress and can it be raised or lower to accommodate your bed? It is easy to move and how heavy is it?

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

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option that you can think about. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. It's different from other bedside cribs in that it does not have an adjustable panel, but instead an adjustable side that you can lower to reach baby. It's not as compact as other cribs for bed however it's quite mobile and comes with a bag that makes it easy to store.

Some cribs can be converted into a toddler bed or cot with an expansion kit. This can be a beneficial option for families looking to extend the lifespan of their baby's sleeping space well beyond the newborn stage, but it's not always required.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use are ones that sit right next to your bed, so you can watch your baby and tend to the needs of feeding and changing nappies without getting out of bed. It is easy to fold or zip the sides so you can access them in the dark. They should also be breathable in order to offer comfort. Most will come with mattresses, which is crucial because you want it to be a bit firm and flat instead of super-soft or lumpy.

You must also consider how easy it is to build - some cribs are easier than others, with the more complex models costing more. Also, think about whether the crib is made to be a perfect fit for your bed or not. Some cribs are only compatible with a specific kind of divan base, which could be an issue if you have a unique bed frame.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a good option for those who have a divan bed, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. Our mom testers have given it a positive review, saying that it's well-made with mesh sides that you can see baby's face through. It also comes with a handy storage shelf for blankets and nappies and is light at 10kg.

Another option is the SnuzPod4, available in a variety of colors and our moms have been very pleased with it too. The SnuzPod4 is slim, sleek option that still offers plenty of room for baby to rest comfortably. Our mums also love the features, such as the incline option that aid in reflux, as well as a relaxing, rocking mechanism.

Both cribs can be purchased for PS99 or under, making them a more affordable option than a Moses Basket if you're looking to cut costs on your initial investment. Always remember to follow the guidelines for safe sleeping however, and ensure that the crib you purchase is in compliance with the Lullaby Trust code for safety.
