bedside crib and cot and Travel Cot Bedside cribs are a type of cot that can be attached to the side of your bed. Some have an end that can be lowered for easy access, while others have an incline that is perfect for babies with reflux. MFM test subject Georgina said that this crib was easy to build and the instructions were simple. It was a quick construction. It folds into an extremely compact size and comes with a handy travel bag. Easy to put together They are small and simple to set up, meaning they can be set near your bed. They are also lighter, making them more transportable. Georgina who was one of MFM's home testers said that the Maxi-Cosi Lora was “super easy to assemble with clear instructions, and zips that are easy to open.” The crib can also be used as a travel cot, and comes with a convenient bag to carry it around on the move. It has multiple mesh windows that allow for ventilation, and the adjustable height makes it can fit on any mattress. Some cribs for bedside use a side panel which can be removed to allow you to easily access your baby without having to get out of bed. This is a great solution for mothers who are breastfeeding, or those who want to be close to their baby throughout the night but don't want to be at risk of co-sleeping (which is linked to an increased risk of SIDS). Most models come with a built-in function that allows you to rock your baby. This can be a very comforting experience for your baby and help them fall asleep. Some cribs can recline in a position that can be useful for babies suffering from reflux or colic. These should only be used under supervision. A health professional or a GP is recommended prior to attempting this position. Many cribs for bed come with a canopy to shield your baby from sound or light. This can help in calming them down. Some cribs have an under-bed storage space that can be used to store additional blankets, diapers, and other clothes for your child. A lot of bedside cribs can be converted into toddler beds or standalone cots. This is a key selling factor for families with children. The Joie Roomie is the winner of the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards, is a great example. It comes with removable side panels as well as a conversion kit and a tummy tilt that makes it a great travel companion. It also has five different height adjustments to fit your bed, and was loved by our MFM home testers for being simple to build and comfortable. It is also compact and easy to move around. The Graco Play Yard (also known as a pack and play) is a different favorite and was shortlisted for the 2022 Mother&Baby Awards. Cosy and comfortable You can keep an eye on your child from the comfort of your bed with a bedside crib. It's an excellent option for moms who are recovering from a C section as you can easily carry your child towards you to feed their needs at the night or change their nappies without getting out of your bed. And the most cozy cribs come with mesh sides that you can view your baby through. Some cribs let you lower the barrier completely. This lets you co-sleep without the risks. (Make sure that the crib you choose is compliant with the current safety requirements). Some cribs allow you to lower the barrier and then raise it again after you have lifted the baby out. This is ideal for parents with concerns about their child falling off their mattress. The Luah is the winner of the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Crib, Cot, or Moses Basket – is designed to clip onto bedsteads and divan beds, but does require straps that are longer than other models (check the specifications to make certain your bed is able to accommodate). It's a large model with an opening side panel and an exclusive perforated base that creates an air cushion to increase air flow. There's also an integrated set-up for reflux and a 360-degree swivel to allow you to turn the crib according to your baby's preferred position. If you're looking for something smaller in size the Tutti Bambini CoZee is a stylish option with oak legs and stylish fabric options to fit your decor. It's also incredibly easy to put together – Georgina who participated in our MFM tests, put it together speedily and didn't have to look up the instructions. It's also a fantastic travel cot. It folds flat and can be popped into bags. The Next2me Magic, which was shortlisted for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, is also on the larger side but is still relatively small and easy to put into your bed. Georgina found it straightforward to put together, though she was not convinced that the zips could have been better explained on the instruction manual. Easy to clean When you're looking at travel cots or bedside cribs make sure they come with a mattress cover that is machine-washable. This will keep it clean and free of dribbles spills, and leaky diapers. It's an excellent idea to choose a product that can be removed and partially dismantled so you can get into all the nooks and crannies to conduct an extensive cleaning and sanitising. This is vital, since it will ensure that all dirt and germs have been removed. Verify that the sides of the crib are securely attached to ensure that your baby won't slide off or become trapped. It is also important to make sure that the crib is easy to clean and that it is a good fit for your bed. This is especially crucial if you're using a bedside crib to facilitate co-sleeping. These cribs are designed to be connected securely to the parent's side, giving parents easy access to their child during the night to feed and soothe them, while ensuring the safety that separate sleeping surfaces provide. When selecting a crib for your bedroom, you should also consider whether it has additional features that might be useful to you. Some cribs can tilt or rock, which is ideal for babies who tend to be fussy. You'll need to ensure that your crib or travel bed is made of a firm, flat mattress that fits comfortably into the frame. This will reduce the chance of SIDS because your baby's head and feet will not fall into gaps or folds in the bedding. It's a good idea purchase a new mattress for your crib or travel cot, rather than use one that was handed down or purchased second-hand. Used mattresses are more prone to lose their shape over time and increase the risk of SIDS. All cribs new to market have to meet BS EN1130 for 2019. This is the most recent standard that introduces stricter requirements to ensure safe and effective sleep solutions. Versatile A bedside crib (or co-sleeping crib, as they're sometimes known) attaches to your bed, allowing you to reach your baby easily at night without having to leave your own sleeping area. They can be used as a standalone crib during the daytime. They usually have a side panel that can be lowered, so you can feel and see your baby. Some cribs let you keep the panel closed all night, which gives you the closeness and convenience of sleeping with your baby, but minimises the risks of bed-sharing. Some cribs can be transformed into a travel cot. Some cribs have additional features, such as rocking, tilting, or converting into an older crib for babies. The SnuzPod 4 crib is popular for a variety of reasons, not just because of its sleek Scandi design. This model comes with six height adjustments, and a useful storage shelf. It's also a bit heavier and bulkier than many of our other cribs that are more portable, but it comes in a convenient bag to keep it dust-free and clean when it's stored. It's easy to set up, with clear instructions and helpful tools to guide you. It is also easy to clean thanks to the possibility of washing it in the machine and the breathable fabric. It also comes with a few extras compared to other cribs, such as an anti-reflux angle and a rocking feature and an storage compartment. Jasmin says it's a fantastic crib since it's “easy to reach baby in the middle of the night for fuss-free feeding and it's larger than many Moses baskets, so it will last longer before my son outgrows it”. She also likes that it's easy to clean and feels durable and well-made. It can be set on a divan, which makes it a great option for those who have limited space. It is also equipped with a convenient bag to take to your next trip. A perfect all-rounder.
