Bedside Cot Crib

Bedside cot cribs let you to sleep safely with your baby without the danger of overheating or suffocation. Designed to attach to the side of your bed, they're useful for mothers who are unable to get out of bed difficult.

MFM home tester Emily found this crib to be easy to put together, and loved the mesh windows to let air circulate and give babies a better view. It folds flat, and fits into a handy travel bag.

Safety

A 4-in-1 bedside crib crib is an innovative crib that seamlessly connects with the parents bed to provide a convenient way for them to take care of their baby at night. The crib lets parents reach their baby with ease so they can feed and comfort them without having to leave the bed. This is helpful for new parents suffering from sleep apnea during those early months. It also helps to promote a healthy growth of the baby by providing a secure and comfortable environment for sleeping.

A quality bedside co sleeper cot crib will have a sturdy connection and anti-slip design for the bed's foot that reduces the risk of accidents that could potentially cause harm to your baby. They also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure that your child is secure and safe when they sleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress you get with your crib is firm instead of soft, and also look for any gaps that could increase your child's danger of suffocation or getting trapped.

Also, you should avoid using duvets, pillows, or baby bumpers in your baby's crib unless they're made specifically to be used with a cot or crib, as they can pose an immediate danger and not be safe. You should also ensure that any toys your baby utilizes in the crib are securely attached and does not extend too far.

If you're unsure about a certain piece of equipment, you can always ask other parents in a NCT group or at a baby cafe for suggestions and look for a product that is brand new and complies with current safety standards, not second-hand or hand-me-downs. Make sure the crib is free of damage before buying it.

A bassinet is a different option. It's similar to a crib but it is typically attached to your bed. It doesn't have legs. These are ideal for newborns and are especially great when you're recovering from a C-section because they're the perfect method to keep your baby close and by your side throughout the day.

Size

Keep baby close to you in the evening with the Sweet2Sleep bedside crib. This clever crib has many features that will allow you to bond with your newborn and soothe them. It is ideal for feeding at night as well as cuddles and comfort checks. Simply raise or lower the side rail of the crib with just one hand to soothe and comfort your little one or for secure sleep monitoring. It features an easy rocking feature and an incline function to alleviate symptoms such as indigestion and stomach pain.

It comes with a huge storage area underneath the crib, ideal for nappies and blankets. It's also designed to be used with divan beds (check the specifications because some might require straps that are longer) So you don't need to worry about the frame of your bed. Gulhan Arapoglu claimed that it was an adequate size, durable, and easy to move from room room. She also noted that it's a bit heavier than other cribs for beds, but this is due to the additional features, such as the rocking mode and reflux incline.

Firm mattresses are among the most important aspects to look for when choosing the crib. Mattresses that are soft could increase the risk of SIDS, which is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A mattress that is firm is better for your baby since it's more comfortable and aids in healthy growth of the spine.

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 is in compliance with British safety standards and is the correct size for your child.

Taking advantage of Black Friday sales is a great way to save money on these cribs. Be sure to buy cribs directly from the manufacturer to ensure they are secure and meet the safety standards.

Style

A bedside crib is an attached bassinet that you can place next to your bed. They're ideal for keeping your newborn close to you, so you can easily reach them for evening feedings or to soothe them to sleep during nap time. They're also a blessing for mothers recovering from c section births, who may struggle to get out of bed to tend to their baby in the middle of the night.

There's a variety of styles you can pick from, but some features that you might like to look for are:

How easy it is to keep clean - can it be cleaned by hand or is a machine washable mattress cover essential? What is the size of the mattress and can it be lowered or raised lower to fit your bed? How much does it weigh and is it easy to move around your home, particularly if you plan to use it in more than one room at the same time?

Jasmine who was a mom tester, loved that the crib rotates. This made it easier for her to reach in and out of it to pick up her baby. She also appreciated the size of it and said it's not as big as a full-sized crib but is bigger than the standard Moses baskets and is comfortable for baby. It's also easy to put together and can be folded flat, making it easy to transport. Some moms complained that it was to be a bit heavy, however, and this may be an issue for those with mobility issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option to think about. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the best bedside cot Cot or Crib. It's different from other cribs for bed in that it does not have an adjustable panel, but instead an adjustable side that you can lower to allow baby to get closer. It's not as compact like other cribs, but it's still fairly lightweight and comes with a travel bag for easy storage.

Other cribs are designed to convert into a toddler bed or cot by using an expansion kit. This is a great feature for families planning to extend the duration of their baby's sleeping space long past the newborn stage, but isn't always required.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside travel cot use are those that are next to your bed so that you can look after your baby, change nappys at night, and feed your baby without getting up from your bed. You can easily fold or zip the sides so you can reach them in the dark. They should also be breathable to offer comfort. The majority will have an upholstered bed, which is ideal because you don't want it too soft or lumpy.

The price of more complicated models will be higher. Finally, consider whether the crib is made to fit your bed or not. Some may only work with a specific type of divan base, and this could be an issue if you have a bed that is more unique.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a good choice for those with a divan bed, and was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. It was well-made with high-quality mesh sides that let you see the baby's face. Our mom testers gave it a thumbs up. It also comes with a handy storage shelf for nappies and blankets, and is relatively lightweight at 10kg.

Another option is the SnuzPod4, which is available in a variety of colors and our mothers have been extremely pleased with it too. They appreciate the fact that it's slim and sleek, but still provides ample space for their baby to rest comfortably. And they are enthralled by the extra features, like incline options to help with reflux and a soothing rocking mechanism.

Both cribs are available at PS99 or less, which makes them more affordable than a Moses Basket if you are looking to save on your initial investment. Always follow the safe sleeping guidelines and ensure that the crib you select is secure.
