Safety
A wooden bedside cot crib crib is a new crib that connects seamlessly with the parents' beds to give an easy way to take care of their infant during the night. The crib allows parents to easily reach their baby to comfort or feed them without having to leave the bed. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who are new and may be suffering from sleep deprivation during the first few months. It also helps to promote the growth of the baby by providing a safe and comfortable environment for sleeping.
A good quality bedside cot crib should have an extremely strong connection and a non-slip design for the bed's foot that reduces the chance of accidents which could cause injury to your baby. The cribs also have safety standards like BS EN 1130, which ensures your baby is secure and protected while they sleep. Make sure the mattress that comes in your crib is firm and not soft. Also, check for any gaps or holes that could increase your child's risk of suffocation.
Avoid using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers for your baby's crib in the event that they were not intended to be used in conjunction in conjunction with a crib. They can pose a serious safety hazard and may not meet the safety standards. Also, make sure that any playthings your child uses in the crib is securely attached and does not extend too far.

If you're going to buy a crib that is used, be sure to check it thoroughly for damages and ensure that all components are in place prior to purchasing 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 appreciated its size although she said it's not as large as a traditional crib, but it's bigger than the standard Moses baskets and is comfortable for babies. It's also simple to build and folds flat, which makes it easy to carry. It was a bit heavy for some mothers and could be an issue for those who have mobility problems.

Budget

They'll usually have sides that fold or zip down easily, so you can reach up in the dark to grab them and they'll be breathable for comfort. The majority will have an upholstered bed, which is ideal as you do not want it to be too hard or clumpy.
The cost of more complicated models will likely be higher. Also, think about whether the crib is designed to fit your bed or not. Some may only work with a specific type of divan base, and this could be a problem if have a bed that is more unique.
