Safety

A bedside crib is a unique crib that seamlessly connects with the parents' bed to provide a comfortable way for them to take care of their infant at night. This crib lets them access their child easily so that they can feed or comfort them without leaving the bed, which is helpful for new parents suffering from sleep apnea during those first few months. It also helps to promote the growth of the baby by providing a secure and comfortable sleeping environment.

A high-quality bedside cot crib should have an extremely strong connection and a non-slip design for the bed's foot which 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 safe when they sleep. You should also ensure the mattress you get with your crib is firm rather than soft, and look for any gaps which could increase your baby's risk of suffocation, or entrapment.

Avoid using pillows, duvets or baby bumpers for your baby's crib except if they were specifically designed to be used with a crib. They can be danger to your child's safety and may not meet the safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any toys or objects that your child plays with in the crib are securely anchored to the crib and aren't too far out of the crib's edges.

Ask other parents for their advice if you are unsure about certain pieces of equipment. Also, look for items that are brand new and meet current safety standards rather than those that have been passed down or second-hand. Check the crib for damage prior to purchasing it.

Another alternative is to purchase the bassinet, which is similar to a cot but generally, it is attached to your bed and doesn't have legs. They are great for babies and are especially great for those recovering from a C section, as they're a perfect option to keep your baby close at your side at all times.

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 cribs for beds however this is due to the additional features like a rocking mode or reflux incline.

One of the most important factors to look for in a crib is its firm mattress. Mattresses with soft mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS, also known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A firm mattress is also an ideal choice for your baby as it's more comfortable and aids in healthy growth of the spine.

Style

A 4-in-1 bedside crib crib is a bassinet that you can place next to your bed. They're ideal to keep your newborn close to you so that you can easily reach them for night feedings or help them go back to sleep during nap times. They're also great for mothers who have had csections and find it hard to get up in the middle of the night to take care of their baby.

There are many different styles available but you should look for the following characteristics:

How easy is it to keep clean - can it be cleaned by hand or is a machine washable mattress cover essential? What size is the mattress and can it be lowered or raised lowered to accommodate your bed? It is easy to move, but how heavy is it?

Mum tester Jasmine particularly liked the fact that this crib is able to swivel, making it easier to reach into and out of to take her newborn. She also liked the size, stating that it's not as big as a standard crib for babies, but it is larger than standard Moses baskets. It's also comfortable for her baby. It's also simple to assemble and folds flat for easy transport. Some mothers found it to be a little heavy, but this could be a problem for those who have mobility issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option that you could think about. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. This crib is distinct from the rest because it does not have a drop-down panel, but instead has an adjustable side you can lower to reach your baby. It's not as compact as other cribs, but it is still portable and comes with a travel bag.

Some cribs can be converted into a toddler bed or cot with an expansion kit. This feature is useful for families who wish to increase their baby's sleeping space beyond the newborn stage. However, it's not always necessary.

Budget

The best bedside cribs are those that are near your bed, to let you watch your baby, change nappys in the evening, and feed your baby without getting up from your bed. You can easily fold or close the sides so that you can reach them in the dark. They should also be breathable in order to provide comfort. Many will come with mattresses, which are crucial because you want it to be a bit firm and flat instead of super-soft or clumpy.

The price of more complex models will likely be more expensive. Be sure to consider whether the crib will work with your bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a specific type of divan base, and this could be an issue if you have a unique bed frame.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a great choice for those with a divan bed, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-constructed, 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 that can be used for blankets or nappies and weighs only 10kg.

The SnuzPod4 is an alternative. It is available in a variety of colours and our mums love it. They love the design, which is slim and elegant, yet still offers ample space for their baby to rest comfortably. And they are enthralled by the extra features, including an incline option to aid with reflux, as well as a soothing rocking mechanism.

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