What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or a co-sleeper is a crib for babies that is attached to your adult bed. This allows your child to sleep with you in safety. This is a type of co-sleeping that is safe and doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you bond with your newborn.

The cots come with one side that can be lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily at night to comfort and feed them. This is particularly beneficial for mums recovering from an op. Many of them are foldable or portable which means you can use them to travel or as an interim solution for babies who aren't quite ready to move to a larger crib.

Find a crib that has an air-conditioned mattress, as well as an appropriate cover to keep your baby safe from staining. You should also purchase baby-safe accessories such as a blanket and cuddly toys.

If you're looking for a longer-term option, some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to turn them into a cot or toddler bed at the time of need. This is great for extending their lifespan and making the transition more seamless. Some even have a removable top section that converts into a bassinet, and some can be used on an ordinary or high-rise adult bed. This is a good choice for families who are planning on frequent travel or switching between bedrooms throughout the night. It is also important to consider the size of your room to ensure that you can fit the crib in comfortably. A lot of cribs have an incline that can be added to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.

This makes it solid and secure, allowing you to get a good night's sleep without worrying about your little one sliding off into the middle of the room. The rounded cocoon shape comes with softly cushioned sides and double mesh windows on both ends to allow for ample air flow while keeping your baby secure.

The airflow mattresses are deluxe and provide a comfy sleeping surface, and ventilation panels help keep your baby cool.

It also has an upper bar that can be easily lowered to accommodate feedings at night without having to fiddle with zips.

Anna discovered the CoZee to be a safe, comfortable place to sleep for her baby. It was a pleasure to not move like other models, so she wasn't disturbed in the night trying to soothe her child to feed. She also loved that the sides of the chair was lowered so she didn't need to reach over her partner to lift the child out for nighttime feedings.

The CoZee is available in charcoal and oak and was a stylish addition to the bedroom. It's more a designer piece than some of the other cribs we've tested, which can appear rather utilitarian. It's also fairly light at 11kg and comes with a carrying case so you can take it on vacation or if you're moving home. The only additional items you'll have to purchase are a waterproof sheet and a co-sleeping safety strap. There are step-bystep instructions and pictures to guide you through the process as you open the box and making it a one-person task if needed.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is a bassinet for infants designed to make parents feel closer to their baby as they sleep. It can be adjusted upwards and downwards and moved to three different slide positions, to be placed beside the bed of the parent or in the corner so the baby is always at hand. The mesh siding allows air to circulate through, allowing you to see your baby easily. You can also store any extra pajamas or items in the large basket beneath.

The Iora is a bedside crib that is smaller and can fold flat. It also comes with a travel case to allow it to be carried anywhere. Our mum testers were able to move it from room to room and felt it was a great size for a small bedside cot, and not too big or too small. The large storage basket is ideal to store extra bedding or nappies.

This is a great option for parents who want to sleep in a co-sleeping bed but don't want to share their bed. If one of the partners has mobility issues like arthritis or back pain. Our mom testers love the convenience of being able to access their baby in the Iora and it also has an option to tilt the bed upwards to help with gas.

Our mums appreciate the fact that it meets NICE guidelines that state to put the infant in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys pillows, etc.). The mattress is also sturdy and comfortable for the baby and sheets are readily available. It isn't as light as the other cribs that are smaller, though it is a good choice if you are looking for something lighter and more portable, look at alternatives on our list.
