Is a Bedside Crib Co Sleeper Right For Your Baby?

A 4-in-1 bedside crib crib co sleeper is a great option for parents who want their baby close by for fuss-free evening feeding. These co-sleepers are a safer alternative to traditional Moses' baskets. They follow strict guidelines for safe sleep from the Lullaby Trust, NHS and other organizations.

This crib is a popular choice among home testers since it is adjustable to match the bed's height, and it swivels a full 360 degrees to make it easy to access. It is easy to fold and comes with a carry-on bag for traveling.

Safety

Bedside cribs let you keep your baby close at night without fear of suffocation. They are attached to your bed, so you can reach out and help or feed your child during the middle of night. They're also great for mums recovering after having a c-section. But there's a lot to think about before you purchase one.

When you're looking for a bedside crib make sure you're choosing one that meets current safety standards. A lot of cribs older than that were recalled because they permit children to fall in gaps between the mattress and the sides of the crib, or they could pose a risk of strangulation and entrapment. Make sure the crib you select is in compliance with the new BS EN1130 safety standard, which will be launched in November 2020.

The new rules forbid cribs that are used for bedside use from having sides that completely fall down. Instead, most models feature 'half-height' walls that still allow your baby to sleep close to your bed, but provide a more protective barrier by sinking a bit lower than the mattress. All of the models on our list conform to these new requirements, including the Graco Pack 'n Play on the Go and the Chicco Lullago both of which were shortlisted in the Mother&Baby Awards 2017.

It's also worth checking if the crib you're considering purchasing is capable of being securely attached to your bed and is secured correctly. This is particularly important if you plan to use it with a sidecar sleeper, such as the free-standing Graco Pack 'n Play on the go or the Graco BassiNest Premiere, which were both shortlisted in the Mother&Baby awards.

It is crucial to remember that a crib is meant for sleeping, and is not meant to be used with bedding or other accessories like toys, blankets, pillows or stuffed animals. The Lullaby Trust, along with the AAP have issued an official safe sleep guidelines which state that infants should sleep in their cribs or cots and not on an adult's bed, or any other type of soft furniture.

Comfort

A crib for your bed lets you keep your baby close at night without the threat of bed-sharing which can increase the chance of SIDS. It also means that you can easily reach out and comfort your baby in the middle of the night without having to get up. It's an alternative to a Moses Basket or infant bassinet that's safe, practical, and comfortable for your newborn baby and babies up until 6 months of age.

The top models offer good breathability, with slats that are open and wide enough to allow airflow. They also have a door and/or window that can be folded up or down when needed. It's easy to change the diaper of your baby or nurse them, or check on their sleep at night. Some models come with a swaddle bag to aid in creating a safe sleeping routine.

You'll want a mattress that is light and compact when folded so it's easy to move around the house or take away with you. The mattress cover must be removable and washable, making it simple to clean. A pocket on one end is useful to store nappies and baby clothes.

Some cribs with a bedside include the mattress, while other require you to purchase one separately. Be sure the mattress is firm, flat and airy. Avoid mattresses that are second-hand as they can increase the risk of SIDS.

Find the right crib that can be adjusted to match the height of your bed. Especially if you're recovering from C-sections, a bedside crib that has an adjustable height gives you a greater chances of getting in and out of bed easily especially in the initial weeks of healing.

Certain models come with additional features that can be useful like a tummy tilt for reflux, or detach to make a moses' basket and later a toddler playpen. Other things to consider are whether the crib rocks and folds down so that it can lie flat for storage, or comes with a bag for travel. Check the price and see what bedding comes with the crib. It is often necessary to purchase separate sheets for your child's cot at bedside.

Style

New moms are enthralled by the convenience of bedside cribs that let them keep an eye on baby during night feeds and diaper changes without having to get out of bed. They are also a great way to help babies settle after a c-section or after recovering from other medical conditions such as reflux or colic.

The ideal crib for your bed is contingent on your lifestyle and requirements. Aside from the obvious safety features, you should consider whether you'd like to be able to get your baby out of the crib to feed them or calm them, and if it has any extras such as the ability to rock. Consider the height and dimensions of your bed to ensure that the crib you choose can be comfortably.

Bedside cribs are generally more affordable than Moses baskets, but don't be fooled they're still loaded with great features like the breathable mesh and clear sides, reflux incline options and adjustable height. Our top pick is the Tutti Bambini CoZee, which combines style with practicality to create the perfect co-sleeper. It's available in three colours and features stylish oak legs, which means it will fit right into your bedroom. It's also easy to assemble, fold and comes with a handy carry bag for trips to grandparents.

Some cribs come with side panels that can be lowered down to let you touch your baby during the day, and for safer co-sleeping however, they pop up again at night. This feature is available on the Arm's Reach Clear View Co-Sleeper for example, but one of our MFM Home test participants found it difficult to use for the first time.

It is essential to make sure that the bedding you choose to make a crib bed is properly fitted. There should not be gaps or other openings, which could lead to the suffocation. This is the reason that many cribs have mattresses that are fitted, but sheets that are suitable for use at most retailers. Avoid second-hand mattresses because they are likely to wear out and become worse with age increasing the chance of SIDS.

Bedside cribs are also much more lightweight and portable than Moses baskets which makes them much easier to move from room to room or take with you when you go on vacation. The best bedside cot for newborn bedside cradles are small enough to fit in the carry bag, to allow you to take them on short journeys.

Convenience

Depending on the model that you choose, bedside cribs may include features that enhance their convenience. One of the cribs that received the highest ratings in our MFM home test swivels, and can be adjusted in the height to make it easier to reach and pick your child up. This model also has a sidewall that dips down, which an MFM home tester said gave her "easy access" to soothe their infant.

Some models have additional extras for example, a rocking function (useful for Bedside Crib Co Sleeper babies who are fussy) or incline settings to help with reflux. These are helpful for children with a condition which causes reflux, but your infant should be sleeping on a firm, flat mattress to avoid suffocation or overheating.

Consider how easy it will be to clean the model. Check if the fabric is machine washable, and if it comes with a waterproof protector to guard against leaky nappies or dribbles. Some cribs with a bedside have an upholstered sheet, which makes it easier to wash and change it.

Other things to consider are how easy it is to assemble and how compact it is when folded away. Check if it's easy to attach to your bed and if it has a bag to use for travel. Lastly, consider if it has extras like a tummy tilt or the option to turn it into moses baskets for older children - this could be helpful for travel.
