bedside cots Crib and Travel Cot

Bedside cribs look like an infant bassinet, and are attached to the side of a bed. Some have a side that can be lowered for easy access, while others come with an incline that is ideal for babies with reflux.

MFM tester Georgina found this crib to be simple to assemble and the instructions were simple, resulting in an easy and quick build. It also folds down into an extremely compact size and comes with a convenient bag for traveling.

Easy to put together

Bedside cribs are generally easy to set up, and are usually on the smaller side to are able to be placed neatly beside your bed. They are also lighter, which makes them more mobile. Georgina who was one of the MFM's home testers said that the Maxi-Cosi Lora was "super easy to put together, with clear instructions, and zips that are easy to open." The crib can be used as a portable cot and comes with a convenient bag. It comes with multiple mesh openings for ventilation, and its adjustable height allows it to fit on any mattress.

Some cribs with a bedside have the option of a side panel that could be raised, allowing the ability to be close to your baby without having to step out of your bed. This is an excellent option for mothers who are breastfeeding or those who want to be close to their child at night, but don't wish to take on the risk of co-sleeping.

The majority of models have a built-in function that allows you to rock your baby. This can be extremely soothing for your baby, and help them fall asleep. Some cribs have a reclining position, which is useful if your baby has reflux or colic. These should only be used under supervision. A GP or health visitor should be consulted before trying this position.

Many cribs for bed come with a canopy to shield your baby from noise and light. This can help calm the baby. Some cribs have an under-bed storage space that is perfect for storing additional blankets, diapers, and clothing for your child.

Some cribs for wooden bedside cot use can be transformed into standalone cots, or toddler beds and is an attractive selling point for families. MFM's 2021 Mother&Baby Awards winner the Joie Roomie Go is a prime example. It has side panels that can be removed as well as conversion kits and a tummy tilt, making it suitable for travel. It also comes with 5 different height settings to match your bed. It was highly praised by our MFM home testers for being easy to put together and comfortable. It is also compact and easy to move around. The Graco Play Yard is also known as a Play and Pack Play, is another popular choice. It was nominated for the 2022 Mother&Baby Award.

Cozy and comfortable

You can keep an eye on your child from the comfort of your bed with the bedside crib. It's a great option for a mom who is recovering from a csection, because you can easily pull baby to your side for nappy or night feeds changes without having to get out of bed. The most comfortable cribs come with mesh sides that you can view your baby through.

Some cribs lower the barrier completely, rocking bedside crib giving you the comfort of sleeping with your partner without the associated risks (check that the crib you choose is in compliance with the most recent safety standards though). Some cribs let you keep the barrier down but raise it after you've lifted baby off, which is ideal for parents who have a fear of their child falling off the end of their mattress.

The Luah is the winner of the 2021 Mother&Baby Award for Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket - is designed to be attached to bedsteads and divan beds, but it does require straps that are longer than some other models (check the specifications to be sure your bed can accommodate). It's a large bedside crib design with an opening side panel and a patented perforated base that creates an air cushion to boost the flow of air. There's also an integrated reflux setting as well as a 360-degree swivel to allow you to rotate the crib in accordance with the preferred position of your baby.

If you're seeking something smaller Tutti Bambini CoZee has oak legs that come with a range of fabric options that complement your decor. It's also incredibly simple to put together. Georgina who took part in the MFM test was capable of putting it together quickly and without needing to consult any instructions. It's also a great travel cot that folds flat and popping into a handy bag.

The Next2me Magic, shortlisted for Best Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, has a larger size, yet it's compact and easy to attach to your bed. Georgina found it easy to assemble too, although she did find that the zips could have been more clearly described on the instruction sheet.

Easy to clean

Look for cribs that come with removable mattress covers that can be washed in the machine when looking at cribs for bed or travel cots. That will help you keep it clean from spills, nappies, baby sick and dribbles. It is also recommended to choose a model that is easily disassembled to allow you to clean and disinfect all the corners.

This is vital, since it will ensure that all germs and dirt have been removed. Also, you should ensure that the sides of your crib are securely connected, ensuring there are no gaps or areas that your child could fall down or get trapped.

Aside from being easy to clean, you'll also want a bedside crib that is a comfortable place for your baby and will fit comfortably into your bed. This is particularly important if you're using a bedside crib for co-sleeping. These cribs are designed to be attached securely to the parent's side, allowing parents easy access to their baby at night to feed and comfort their baby while still ensuring the safety that separate sleeping surfaces provide.

Another thing to think about when choosing a crib to sleep on is if it comes with additional features that you may consider useful. For instance, some cribs have the capability to rock (useful for fussy sleepers) or tilt - although keep in mind that you should make use of this feature with caution as it could be dangerous if your child gets out of the crib.

It is also important to ensure that your crib or travel cot has a firm and flat mattress that is snugly inserted into the frame. This will decrease the risk of SIDS because the baby's head and feet won't fall into any folds or gaps in the bedding.

It's a good idea purchase a brand new mattress for your crib or travel cot rather than using one that was passed down or bought second-hand. Used mattresses tend to lose their shape over time and can increase the risk of SIDS. All cribs that are new must meet BS EN1130:2019. This is the latest standard that introduces stricter requirements to ensure secure and efficient sleep solutions.

Versatile

A bedside crib (or co-sleeping crib as they're sometimes referred to) is attached to your bed, allowing you to reach your baby easily at night without having to get out of your sleeping space. They can also be used as a standalone crib during the daytime. Most will have a side panel that can be moved down so you can be able to see and touch your baby. Some cribs allow you to keep the panel down all night, which gives you the closeness and convenience of sleeping with your baby and reduces the dangers of bed-sharing. Some cribs will also convert into a travel cot, or include additional features such as rocking bedside crib (fakenews.win), tilting (use with caution, remember to speak to your GP about this) or changing into an older baby cot or playpen.

The SnuzPod 4 is a consistently popular crib and it's not only about its sleek and modern Scandi design. It comes with six height adjustments and an excellent storage shelf. It's also a bit heavier and bulkier than some of our cribs that are more suitable for travel, but it comes in a handy bag to keep it dust-free and clean when it's stored.

It's easy to set up with clear instructions and a handy toolkit to help you. It's also easy to clean, with the mattress cover that is machine washable and breathable fabric. It comes with a few extras in comparison to other cribs, including an anti-reflux angle as well as a rocking feature and an storage compartment.

Jasmin says it's an excellent crib due to its "easy to reach your baby in the middle of the night to feed without fuss, and larger than most Moses baskets, so it will last longer before my son outgrows it". She also likes how easy it is to clean and how it is sturdy and well-made. It can be placed on a divan, which makes it an ideal choice for those who have limited space. It is also equipped with a convenient bag that you can take to your next trip. A perfect all-rounder.
