The crib lets parents reach their baby easily so they can feed and comfort them without having to leave the bed. This is helpful for new parents who suffer from sleep deprivation during those first few months. It encourages healthy growth of the baby by creating a safe and comfortable 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 risk of accidents that could harm your baby. They also have to meet safety standards, such as BS EN 1130:2019, which helps to ensure your baby is safe and secure while they're asleep. You should also ensure the mattress that comes with your crib is firm rather than soft, and check for any gaps which could increase your baby's danger of suffocation or getting trapped.
It is also recommended to avoid using duvets, pillows, or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they're made specifically to be used in conjunction with a cot or a crib as they could pose a serious hazard and may not be safe. It is also important to ensure that any toys or other items your baby is playing with in the crib are securely attached to the crib, and don't protrude too far out of the crib's edges.
Ask other parents for advice when you're not sure about a piece of equipment. Also, look for products that are modern and meet current safety standards, not ones that were 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 damage and ensure all the components are present prior to purchasing it.
Another option is to invest in an infant bassinet. It's like a cot, but typically fixes to your bed and does not have legs.

Gulhan Arapoglu said that it was a good size, sturdy, and easy to move from room to room.

Firm mattresses are among the most important features to look for when choosing the crib.

They're also great for mothers who have had c-sections but find it hard to get up at the middle of the night to take care of their newborn.
There's a variety of styles you can pick from, but some characteristics you should look for are:
Can it be cleaned by machine or do you need an easy-to-clean mattress cover? What is the size of the mattress and can it be lowered or raised lowered to accommodate your bed? What's the weight and is it easy to move around your home, especially in the event that you plan to use it in more than one room at the same time?
Jasmine, a mum tester, liked the crib's swivelling feature. This made it easier for her to reach in and out of it to pick up her baby. She also admired its size and said it's not as big as a standard crib, but it's larger than typical Moses baskets and is comfortable for baby. It is also easy to assemble and folds flat for easy transport. Some mothers found it to be a little heavy, however, which could be a problem for those who have mobility issues.
Another alternative 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. It's different from other cribs for bed in that it does not have a drop-down panel but rather an adjustable side that can be lowered to reach baby. It's not as compact like other cribs however, it's still lightweight and comes with a travel bag for easy storage.
Other cribs are designed to be converted into a toddler bed or cot by using an expansion kit. This can be a beneficial feature for families who are planning to extend the life of their baby's bed far beyond the infant stage, but it's not always required.
Budget
The best bedside cribs are those that sit close to your bed so you can watch your baby, change nappys at night and feed your baby without having to get up from your bed. They'll typically have sides that fold or zip down easily, to allow you to reach over in the dark to pick them up and they'll also be breathable for comfort. Many will come with a mattress, which is crucial since you want it to be firm and flat instead of extremely soft or clumpy.
The cost of more complicated models will be more expensive. Finally, consider whether the crib was designed to fit your own bed or not. Certain cribs can only be fitted to a certain type of divan base. This could be a problem for you if you have a bed frame that is more unique.
The popular Next2me Magic crib is a great option for those who have divan beds, and was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the The Best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. Our mum testers have given it the positive review, saying that it's well-constructed with high-quality mesh sides that allow you to see your baby's face through. It also comes with a handy storage shelf for nappies and blankets, and is relatively lightweight at 10kg.
SnuzPod4 is a different option. It comes in many colours and our mums are in love with it. The SnuzPod4 is a slim, sleek option that still offers plenty of space for babies to sleep comfortably. Our mums are also impressed by features, such as the incline option that aid in reflux, and a soothing rocking mechanism.
Both cribs are available for PS99 or less, making them more affordable than a Moses Basket if you're trying to save money on your initial investment. Always remember to adhere to the safe sleep guidelines however, and ensure that the crib you buy meets the Lullaby Trust code for safety.
