Safety

A crib that is bedside is a new crib that connects seamlessly with the parents' beds to provide them a convenient way to take care of their baby at night. This crib allows them to reach their baby easily so they can feed and comfort them without having to leave the bed, which is beneficial for parents who may be suffering from sleep deprivation during those early years. It also aids in promoting the development of a healthy baby by providing a safe and comfortable sleeping environment.

A high-quality crib for bed will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design on the foot of the bed. This helps to reduce the chance of accidents that could harm your baby. The cribs also have safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is safe and secure when they sleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress you get with your crib is firm instead of soft, and check for any gaps that could increase your baby's danger of suffocation or getting trapped.

Also, you should be wary of using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they are designed specifically for use with a crib or cot as they could pose a serious hazard and may not meet safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any toys or items your baby is playing with in the crib are securely anchored, and that they do not protrude too far of the crib's edges.

Ask other parents for advice when you're not sure about a piece of equipment. Also, search for items that are brand new and meet current safety standards rather than those that have been passed down or second-hand. If you're going to buy an older crib, make sure you examine it thoroughly for any damage and ensure all the components are in place prior to purchasing it.

Another alternative is to buy the bassinet, which is similar to a cot, but typically fixes to your bed and 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 option to keep your baby close and at your side throughout the day.

It comes with a huge storage area underneath the crib, which is ideal for blankets and nappies. It's also designed to fit divan beds, so you don't have to worry about the frame. Gulhan Arapoglu stated that it was an adequate size, durable, and easy to move from room to room. She also says that it's a bit heavier than other bedside cribs, but this is due to additional features such as a rocking mode or reflux incline.

Firm mattresses are one of the most important things to look for when choosing a crib. Mattresses that are soft can increase the chance of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A firm mattress is also an ideal choice for your child as it's more comfortable and aids in healthy spinal growth.

You can buy a crib mattress separately, but we recommend investing in a premium quality model to ensure that your child gets the best rest possible. Make sure the mattress meets British safety standards and that it's the right size for your baby.

If you're considering purchasing a bedside cot crib it's a good idea to do some careful shopping around to make sure you're getting the best deal.

Style

A bedside crib with wheels crib is a bassinet that you can place next to your bed. These cribs are great for keeping your baby close so that you can reach them easily during evening feedings and help them back into sleep during nap time. These are also great for mothers who have had csections and struggle to get up in the middle of the night to look after their baby.

There are a variety of styles available, but you should look for the following characteristics:

How easy it is to keep clean - can it be cleaned by hand or is an easy-to-clean mattress cover essential? How big is the bed and can you lower or raise it to fit? It is easy to move and how heavy is it?

Jasmine as a mother tester, loved that the crib swivels. This made it easier for her to reach into and out of it to take her baby. She also liked the size, stating that it is not as big as a traditional crib but it's larger than the standard Moses baskets. It's 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 somewhat heavy, however, which could be a problem for those with mobility issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option to look into. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. It's different from other bedside cribs in that it doesn't have an adjustable panel, but instead an adjustable side that you can lower to allow baby to get closer. It's not quite as compact as other bedside cribs when dismantled, but it's still mobile and comes with a travel cot bedside bag.

Some cribs can convert into a toddler bed or cot by using an expansion kit. This is a great feature for families looking to extend the lifespan of their baby's sleeping space long past the infant stage, but isn't always necessary.

Budget

The best small bedside cot cribs are ones that sit right next to your bed, so you can watch baby and take care of the needs of feeding and changing nappies without having to get out of bed. They'll usually have sides that fold or zip down easily so you can reach over in the dark to grab them and they'll also be breathable for your comfort. The majority will have an upholstered bed, which is ideal as you do not want it to be too soft or lumpy.

You must also consider the ease of build - some cribs are more simple than others, and the more complicated models likely costing more. Consider whether the crib is designed to fit your bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a specific kind of divan base, and this could be a problem if you have a more unusual bedframe.

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

Another option is the SnuzPod4, available in a range of colours and our moms have been really positive about it too. The SnuzPod4 is a slim, elegant option that offers plenty of space for babies to sleep comfortably. Our mums are also awed by features, such as the incline option, which help with reflux, as well as a soothing, rocking mechanism.

Both cribs are available for PS99 or less, making them more affordable than a Moses Basket if you are looking to save on the initial cost. Always remember to adhere to the safe sleep guidelines but also ensure whether the crib you purchase conforms to the Lullaby Trust code for safety.
