Bedside Cot Crib

Bedside cribs allow you to sleep safely with your baby without the danger of overheating or suffocation. These cribs are attached to the bedside and are especially beneficial for mothers who are unable to get out of the bed.

Emily, a MFM home tester was pleased with the bedside crib easy to put together. She also liked the mesh windows that permit airflow and visibility of baby. It folds flat and stowed into bags for travel.

Safety

A bedside crib crib is an innovative crib which connects seamlessly with the parents' beds, giving them a convenient way to take care of their infant at night. The crib lets parents reach their baby easily so they can feed and comfort them without having to leave bed, which is very useful for new parents who suffer from sleep deprivation during those first few months. It also helps to promote a healthy growth of the baby by providing a safe and comfortable sleeping environment.

A high-quality bedside crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design at the foot of the bed. This helps to reduce the chance of accidents that could hurt your baby. They also have to meet safety standards like BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure that your child is safe and secure when they're asleep. Also, make sure the mattress that comes with your crib is firm rather than soft, and check for any gaps that could increase your child's risk of suffocation, or entrapment.

It is also recommended to be wary of using duvets, pillows, or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they are designed specifically to be used with a cot or crib because they could be a serious hazard and may not be safe. It is also important to ensure that any toy your baby utilizes in the crib are securely attached and does not extend too far.

Ask other parents for advice in case you are uncertain about a piece of equipment. Also, search for items that are brand modern and meet the current safety standards instead of those that have been passed down or used. Make sure the crib is free of damage before buying it.

Another alternative is to purchase the bassinet, which is similar to a cot, but usually is attached to your bed and doesn't have legs. They are ideal for babies and are ideal when you are recovering from an o-section. They keep your baby close to you throughout the day.

Gulhan Arapoglu claimed that it was an ideal size, strong and easy to move from room to room. She also said it's a bit heavier than some cribs for beds but that's because of the extra features such as the rocking mode and the reflux upwards.

One of the most important factors to look for in a crib is its firm mattress. This reduces the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) since mattresses with soft surfaces increase the risk of suffocation. A firm mattress is also a healthier choice for your child as it's more comfortable and supports healthy growth of the spine.

You can purchase a crib mattress separately. However, we recommend that you purchase the best quality mattress to give your baby the best quality sleep. Check that the mattress meets British safety regulations and is the correct size for your child.

It's worthwhile to shop around for the best price if you're considering purchasing a bedside crib. Black Friday is a great time to buy cribs at a bargain. Make sure you buy cribs directly from the manufacturer to ensure they are safe and meet the required safety standards.

Style

A bedside crib is a baby bassinet that is attached to the side of your bed. They're ideal to keep your newborn close to you, so you can easily reach them during night feedings or to soothe them to sleep during nap times. They're also a godsend for mothers recovering from c section births, who might find it difficult to get out of bed to tend to their baby during the night.

There's a broad range of styles to pick from, but some of the features you should look for are:

How easy is it to keep clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is an easy-to-clean mattress cover required? How big is the mattress and can it be raised or adjusted to accommodate your bed? What's the weight and is it easy to move around your home, especially when you intend to use it in more than one room at the same time?

Jasmine as a mother tester, liked the crib's swivelling feature. This made it easier for her to reach into and out of it to pick up her baby. She also admired its size, saying it's not as large as a full-sized crib but it's larger than the standard Moses baskets and is comfortable for baby. It's also easy to build and it folds flat, making it easy to transport. Some mums found it to be a bit heavy, but this could be a problem for those with mobility issues.

Another option to think about is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category. This crib is distinct from others in that it does not have a drop-down panel however it does have an adjustable side that you can lower so that you can reach your baby. It's not as compact when dismantled as some other bedside 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 with an expansion kit. This is a great option for families looking to extend the lifespan of their baby's bed well beyond the infant stage, but isn't always required.

Budget

The best bedside cribs can be placed right next to your bed, so you can watch baby and attend to the needs of feeding and changing nappies without needing to get out of bed. They'll usually have sides that fold or zip down easily to allow you to reach over in the dark to grab them and they'll be breathable for your comfort. The majority will have beds, which are ideal since you don't want it to be too soft or lumpy.

You should also factor in how easy it is to assemble - some are much more simple than others, and the more complex models costing more. Take into consideration whether the crib is suitable for your bed or not. Some may only work with a particular type 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 parents with a divan bed, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-made, with high mesh sides to let you see the baby's face. Our mum testers liked it and gave it a thumbs-up. It has a shelf for nappies or blankets, and is lightweight at only 10kg.

SnuzPod4 is a different option. It comes in many colors and our moms enjoy it. They like the simplicity of it, and how it's elegant, yet still offers ample space for babies to sleep comfortably, and they appreciate the additional features, including incline options to help with reflux and an energizing rocking mechanism.

Both cribs can be purchased for PS99 or less, which makes them more affordable than a Moses Basket if you are looking to cut costs on your initial investment. Always adhere to safe guidelines for sleeping and make sure the crib you pick is secure.
