Is a Bedside Crib Co Sleeper Right For Your Baby?

A bedside crib co sleeper is a great option for parents who want their baby close to you for a relaxed evening feeding. These co-sleepers offer a safer alternative to traditional Moses' baskets. They are based on the official guidelines for safe sleeping from the Lullaby Trust, NHS and other organizations.

Home testers love the fact that this crib rotates 360deg for easy access. It also has an adjustable mattress height to match your bed. It is also easy to fold and comes with a carry-on bag for traveling.

Safety

Bedside cribs are a great option to keep baby close by during the night without risking overheating or suffocating. They attach to your bed, so you can reach out to comfort or feed your child during the middle of night. They're also great for mums recovering after a c section. There's plenty to consider before you purchase one.

If you're shopping for a crib that is bedside, make sure you're looking at one that meets current safety standards. Many older cribs were recalled due to the risk of strangulation or entrapment posed by the gaps between the mattress as well as the sides of the crib. Check that your chosen model meets the new BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirement which was introduced in November of 2020.

The most significant change in the new rules is that bedside cribs will not have drop-down sides. The majority of models have 'half-height' walls, which still allow your child to lie on your bed, but also offer a more secure barrier since they are a bit below your mattress. All of the models we have listed meet these new requirements. This includes the Graco Pack 'n Play On The Go and the Chicco Lullago which were both shortlisted for the Mother&Baby Awards 2017.

Make sure that the crib is securely attached to your bed and that it is properly anchored. This is especially crucial if you plan to use the crib with a sidecar sleep system like the Graco Pack 'n Play On The Go or the Graco BassiNest Premiere which were both shortlisted for the Mother&Baby Awards.

It is also important to remember that a crib should only be used for sleeping and should never be used in conjunction with bedding or other accessories, such as pillows, blankets, toys or toys for stuffed animals. Official advice for safe sleep from The Lullaby Trust and the AAP is that babies should sleep in their own sleeping space, in their own crib or cot, and not on an adult bed or other type of mattress or soft furnishings.

Comfort

A crib that is placed near your bed lets you keep your baby close by at night without the risk of bed-sharing, which can increase the likelihood of SIDS. It also means that you can easily reach over and comfort your baby during the middle of the night without having to get out of bed. It's an alternative to a Moses Basket or infant bassinet that is safe, practical and comfortable for your newborn baby and infants up to 6 months of age.

The best models feature good airflow and slats that are wide enough to let air flow. They also feature windows or doors that can be rolled up or down as needed. It's easy to change the diaper of your baby and nurse them or examine their sleep at the end of the night. Some models even come with an swaddle bag to assist you with a safe sleep routine.

You'll want a mattress that is light and compact when folded, so it's easy to move around your home or to take with you on your travels. The mattress cover should be removable and washable, making it easy to clean. The pocket at one end can be used to store extra diapers and baby clothes.

Some cribs with a bed come with a mattress, while others have to buy separately. Ensure that the mattress is designed specifically for your model and is supple, flat and comfortable. Avoid using second-hand mattresses as they could increase the risk of SIDS.

Choose a crib that has an adjustable height so that it matches the height of your own bed. A bedside crib that is adjustable in height could be very beneficial for you, particularly if you are recovering from a C section.

Some models come with useful extras, such as an adjustable tummy tilt to prevent reflux, or a detachable moses basket that can later be used as a playpen for toddlers. Other things to consider are whether the crib rock or folds down to lay flat for storage or comes with a travel bag. Look at the cost and find out what bedding is included in the crib. It is common to purchase separate sheets for your child's cot at bedside crib with wheels.

Style

Bedside cribs are a fantastic option for mothers who are new. They let them monitor their baby at night and during diaper changes without having to get out of their bed. They can also be useful in helping babies recover from c-section or other medical conditions such as colic or reflux.

The ideal bedside crib will depend on your lifestyle and preferences. Consider the safety features and whether you are able to remove your baby from the crib to feed or soothe them. Also, make sure to check if the crib has any extras, like rocking capabilities. Also, look at the dimensions and the height of your bed and make sure that the crib you choose can be comfortably.

Bedside cribs are more affordable than Moses Baskets, but they have excellent features, including air-tight mesh, see-through sides, reflux incline option and adjustable height. Our top pick is the Tutti Bambini CoZee, which blends style and practicality to make the perfect co-sleeper. It comes in three colours with elegant oak legs that make it a great fit for any bedroom. Additionally, it's easy to assemble and fold and comes with a handy bag for trips to visit the grandparents.

Some cribs come with side panels that can be removed during the day, allowing you to hold your baby and co-sleep safely, but are raised again at night. The Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper, for instance, comes with this feature, but one of our MFM home testers found it tricky to use at first.

You must ensure that the bedding used for a crib next to a bed is properly fitted. There shouldn't be gaps or other openings, which could lead to the suffocation. This is why a lot of cribs come with mattresses that are fitted, but you can find suitable sheets at most retailers. Avoid mattresses from secondhand stores because they will wear out and deteriorate with time and increase the risk of SIDS.

Bedside cribs are more lightweight and portable than Moses baskets, making them easier to move from room room or carry when you go on vacation. The best bedside cribs are small enough to fit into bags, so you can easily take them to short trips.

Convenience

Bedside cribs are ideal for parents and babies as they let you see your baby at night without the danger of them falling off the mattress or getting suffocated. It's important to keep in mind that the Lullaby Trust, NHS and other sleep guidelines that are official recommend that you only sleep with them for the first six month and then have an additional mattress in the same room to decrease the chance of SIDS.

The model you choose, the bedside rocking crib crib may have features that make it more practical. For instance, one of the top-rated models from our MFM home tests is swivels and adjusts height, making it easy to reach inside and pick up your child. This model also has a sidewall that dips down, which one MFM home tester described as giving her "easy access" to comfort their infant.

Some models have extra features like a rocking feature (great for babies with a lot of fuss) or incline settings to help with reflux. These may be handy to use if your baby is suffering from a condition that causes reflux, but remember that your newborn should sleep on a flat, firm mattress to avoid suffocation and overheating.

Consider how easy it is to clean the model. Find out if the fabric can be machine washable and if it comes with a waterproof protector to protect against leaky nappies or drips. Some cribs come with fitted sheets that make it easier to wash and bedside crib co sleeper change.

Take into consideration the ease of assembly and compactness when folded. Check if it's easy to attach to your bed and if it has a bag to use for travel cot bedside. Take note of extras such as a tummy-tilt or the ability to convert it into an oversized Moses basket for older children. This can be useful for those who travel.
