One thing to keep in mind is that while this crib is perfect for babies, it won't last long once your baby turns six months old, and you'll need to invest in larger cots. Overall, Roanna found that the Joie Roomie Glide was a really good buy and she especially liked its sleek design.
John Lewis sells the Roomie Glide for PS160. Roanna thought this was a reasonable price for an item. She also liked the way it appeared in the bedroom and thought that the grey shade will work well in modern homes. However, she did point out that it isn't an ideal idea to rock a smaller baby because it can set the stage for bad habits that will affect later sleep patterns.

It's also more flexible than its predecessor with 11 different height levels as well as feet that retract to installation under any bed.
Our testers loved the easy access the side panel provides that can be moved up and down by pressing one button. This was particularly helpful at night, as they could reach in and pick their baby up without disturbing them up.
It is possible to lower the side panel by it's own, however this is not recommended because it increases the chance that your baby will get out of the cot. The safety locking system makes sure that the side panel will remain in place if it's connected correctly to the parent's mattress. This is a wonderful feature to have for peace of mind, especially when you're breastfeeding and need frequent nighttime feedings.

It's a bit heavier than some of the other side-sleepers but it's still quite portable and can be moved from room to room with ease. It can also be folded up into its travel bag which is great if you want to transport it. The only drawback our test subjects found was that the side panel didn't move like some of the other models, which made it difficult to observe your child from your bed.
