Buying a Bedside Crib For Travel

The crib's size is a hit with moms - it's bigger than the Moses basket, but smaller than a cot bed. It's also foldable down to just a quarter of its size and fit into a handy bag for travel.

Remember that the crib should only be used to sleep and that toys like blankets, pillows and pillows pose a suffocation hazard.

Safety

If you're looking to purchase a crib for travel you'll want to be sure that the manufacturer complies with all safety standards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) website is a good place to begin. It will let you know if a portable crib has ever been removed from the market. You'll also want to choose the right size for your baby's crib to ensure it doesn't slide into the gaps between the sides of the crib or create a suffocation hazard.

When choosing the right bassinet or crib make sure it is in compliance with the latest safety standards that were revised in 2022. It is also recommended to avoid cribs with a long history or cribs that have been modified, or drop side cribs that have been used for travel as they have not been tested and could pose a risk to your baby's well-being.

A travel crib should be built well and strong. Examine for broken, missing or loose screws as well as other hardware. If you're using a playard it should be fitted with mesh windows and strong walls for air flow. The slats on the crib should be spaced no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to prevent baby's head or limbs from becoming trapped. Also, never put blankets, pillows, stuffed animals or toys in the crib. These objects can cause strangulation or death to your baby. They must be removed at the time they can stand on their own, or before the age of 5 months.

It's also important to look regularly for broken or loose hardware and screws, particularly when you travel with your infant. Take all plastic out of the crib as well.

If you are using a portable crib be sure that it's not placed directly under the large windows. A window can be an accident hazard and if your baby rolls into it, they may be injured. It's recommended to keep your baby's bedroom away from windows, even if they are old enough to roll over. It's crucial to wake your baby when they begin to roll over during sleep.

Portability

If you're planning a trip on holiday, have family staying over, or just want a safe crib for sleepovers or with friends, the portable crib (or playard or playard, as they're often called) is a great choice. These portable cribs are simple to build, compact when they're closed, and feature a comfortable padded mattress that can hold newborns up to 15kg.

The BabyBjorn Travel Crib is a favorite among MFM home testers, who appreciate the fact that it can be folded down and stored in one or two minutes, and its simple one-handed drop-down panels are easy for even bleary-eyed parents to use. It's not the lightest backpack on our list however it's a decent weight at just over 15 pounds. It has regular carry handles rather than an e-bag strap, which some prefer to carry around.

Another great option is the Joie Kubbie Sleep, which combines a bedside crib and bassinet into a compact unit that's ideal for holidays as well as overnight visits to family and friends.

It has six height settings that include a tummy tilt for reflux/colic babies, and is able to fit beds of all sizes. It's also very easy to set up and our MFM tester having it set up in only 10 minutes. It will require a separate mattress.

Feeding

It is essential that your child is comfortable and safe when you travel, whether for pleasure or business. It's better to purchase a bassinet or crib designed for travel than to use one that you already own. They are smaller, have mesh sides to allow parents to check on their babies without disturbing them. They are light enough for simple transportation between locations. They also meet all safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and haven't been subject to recalls.

If you have to use a bedside crib it is recommended that your baby be positioned on their backs and the mattress be free of pillows, blankets, and animals stuffed. Sharing the bed with parents isn't recommended for any baby, regardless of age, and this form of sleeping with a partner is associated with an increased risk of SIDS. If you have to occasionally co-sleep, make sure that your baby bedside cot is asleep and that both you and your partner are fully dressed and awake.

The bedside crib travel cot cribs for newborns and young babies include:

Some are shaped like miniature cribs or Moses basket, while others have sides that can be lowered to the bed of the parent. This allows parents to reach their child at any time during the night to comfort and feed their child, and avoid the dangers of sleeping with their child. The AAP cautions against this because of the danger of suffocation. Examples include the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet, bedside Crib an infant bed that is attached to the side of a mattress for a parent. It is a good choice for older children since the sides can be elevated to allow you to reach the baby without having to lift them out of bed. Another option is the travel cot that has an integrated bassinet that can be removed from the top of the crib which makes it easier to lift a sleeping infant for feeding or other care.

Sleeping

They are placed next to your bed to allow you to easily reach them for night feedings and check on their sleep without disrupting them. Some cribs come with drop-sides that can be lowered to make it easier for you to do this, while others come with a height adjustment, so they will fit in your bed at home and when you go away.

In the past, it was suggested that infants be in their own room. However, parents are increasingly preferring to sleep with their children. Also known as rooming-in this arrangement allows babies to be close to their parents but remain safe and separate from their own crib or bassinet. There are a variety of co-sleepers available, including the iCrib which is designed to be a portable crib that fits on top of your bed or a regular crib. This model has a lightweight frame and a mattress that is removable and can be folded for easy storage. The Joie Roomie Go crib is another alternative. It is attached to the bed edge and has seven height positions and a tummy-tilt to ease colic and reflux. The crib was well-received by our MFM home testers for its ease of use and compact folding. it is also available in a variety of colours.

The cribs feature an elongated side that can be lowered to allow you to grab your baby for night feedings. However the cribs are completely fully enclosed so that your baby can continue sleeping peacefully. These models also meet the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements which stipulate that a 120mm high barrier must be present between your mattress and your child's cot.
