Safety
A bedside crib crib is a unique crib that connects seamlessly to parents' beds, giving an easy way to care for their baby at night. This crib allows them to reach their baby easily so they can feed or comfort them without having to leave the bed, which is helpful for new parents who suffer from sleep apnea during those first few months. It promotes healthy growth in the baby by creating an environment that is safe and secure.
A top-quality bedside crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design at the bottom of the bed. This helps reduce the risk of accidents that could hurt your baby. They also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is safe and secure while they sleep. Make sure that the mattress you have in your crib is firm and not soft. Also, look for any gaps or holes that could increase the risk of suffocation.
You should also avoid using pillows, duvets or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they're designed specifically for use with a cot or crib, as they can pose danger and not meet safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any playthings your child uses in the crib is securely secured and does not protrude out too far.
If you're unsure about a piece of equipment, you can always consult other parents in an NCT group or at a baby cafe for advice, and make sure you choose a crib that is brand new and complies with current safety standards, instead of second-hand or used cribs. If you're planning to purchase a used crib, make sure you check it for damage and ensure all the components are in place before purchasing it.
Another option is to invest in an infant bassinet. It's similar to a cot, but usually is attached to your bed and doesn't have legs. These are perfect for newborns, and are great when you are recovering from a c-section. They keep your baby close to you throughout the day.
Size
Keep your baby close to you during the night with the Sweet2Sleep crib for bedside. This clever crib has many features that will help you bond with your newborn and calm them. It is perfect for nighttime feedings, cuddles, and comfort check-ups. Simply lift or lower the side rails of the crib using one hand to soothe and comfort your baby or for secure monitoring of sleep. It also has a gentle rocking mode and an incline function to ease the symptoms of reflux, such as indigestion or tummy pain.
It comes with a huge storage area underneath the crib, which is ideal for blankets and nappies. It's designed to fit divan beds, so you don't have to worry about the frame. Gulhan Arapoglu stated that it was an adequate size, durable and easy to move from room to room. She also said it's a little heavier than other cribs for bed but that's because of the additional features like the rocking mode and the reflux incline.
One of the most important things to look for in a crib is a firm mattress. This helps reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) since mattresses with soft surfaces increase the risk of being suffocated. A firm mattress can be better for your baby, as it is more comfortable and helps to promote healthy spinal development.
You can buy an individual crib mattress, but we recommend investing in a premium quality model to ensure that your child has the best sleep possible. Make sure the mattress is in compliance with British safety regulations and is the right size for your child.
If you're thinking of buying a bedside cot crib, it's worth doing an extensive search to ensure you're getting the best deal. Black Friday is a great opportunity to purchase cribs at a bargain.

Style
A bedside baby sleeper crib is an attached bassinet to your bed. These cribs are great for keeping your baby close enough to reach them easily during meals at night and also to soothe them back to sleep during nap time. They're also a godsend for mothers recovering from c-section births, who may be unable to get up to tend to their baby during the night.
There's a broad range of styles you can pick from, but some of the features that you may want to look out for include:
How easy it is to keep clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is a machine washable mattress cover essential? What size is the bed and can you adjust it to fit? It is easy to move and how heavy is it?
Jasmine, a mum test subject, was pleased that the crib swivels. This made it easier for her to reach in and out of it to take her baby. She also appreciated the size, stating that it is not as large as a standard crib for babies, but it's larger than standard Moses baskets. It's also comfortable for her baby. It's also simple to put together and folds flat for easy transport. It was a bit heavy for some moms who were carrying it around, which could be a problem for those who have mobility issues.
Another option to consider is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket category. This crib is distinct from the rest because it doesn't have a drop-down panel however it does have an adjustable side you can lower to allow you to reach your baby. It's not as compact when dismantled like other cribs however it's quite portable and comes with a bag that makes it easy to store.
Some cribs can be converted into a toddler or cot with the help of an expansion kit. This feature is useful for families who want to increase their baby bedside cot's sleeping space beyond the infant stage. However, it's not always required.
Budget
The best bedside cribs will sit right by your bed, so that you can watch your baby and tend to feedings at night and changing nappy without getting out of your own bed. You can easily fold or zip the sides down so you can access them in the dark. They must also be breathable to offer comfort. Most will come with beds, which are ideal since you do not 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 complicated models likely costing more. Take into consideration whether the crib is suitable for your bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a particular type of divan base, which can be a problem if you have a more unusual bedframe.
The Next2me Magic crib which is popular with those who have a divan, is a great choice for those who already have one. It was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of Best Cot or Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-constructed, with high mesh sides that let you see the baby's face. Our mum testers gave it a thumbs up. It also has a convenient storage shelf for nappies and blankets, and is relatively lightweight at 10kg.
SnuzPod4 is a different option. It is available in a variety of colors and our moms enjoy it. The SnuzPod4 is slim, sleek design that provides plenty of space for babies to rest comfortably. Our mums are also awed by features such as incline options, which help with reflux, as well as a relaxing, rocking mechanism.
Both cribs can be bought for PS99 or less, making them a more affordable option than a Moses Basket if you are looking to cut costs on the initial cost of your purchase. Always follow the safe sleeping guidelines and ensure that the crib you choose is secure.
