Safety

A bedside cot crib is an innovative crib that seamlessly connects with the parents bed to provide a comfortable method for them to take care of their baby at night. The crib allows parents to easily reach their infant so that they can comfort or feed them without having to leave bed. This is especially beneficial for mothers who suffer from sleep deprivation in the early months. It also aids in promoting a healthy growth of the baby by providing a safe and comfortable sleeping environment.

A high-quality crib for bed will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design at the foot of the bed. This helps reduce the risk of accidents that could hurt your baby. They also have to meet safety standards like BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure your baby is safe and secure while they sleep. You should also ensure the mattress included in your crib is firm instead of soft, and look for any gaps that could increase your child's risk of suffocation or entrapment.

You should also be wary of using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers in your baby's crib unless they're made specifically to be used with a crib or cot because they could be an immediate danger and not meet safety standards. Also, make sure that any toys your baby plays with in the crib is securely attached and does not extend out too far.

If you're not sure about a particular piece of equipment, you can ask other parents in an NCT group or at a baby cafe for suggestions and look for a product that is brand new and meets current safety standards, not secondhand or hand-me-downs. Examine the crib for any damage before buying it.

A bassinet is another option. It's like a crib but is usually fixed to your bed. It doesn't have legs. These are ideal for newborns and are especially beneficial if you're recovering from a C-section, because they're the perfect option to keep your baby close and close to you throughout the day.

Gulhan Arapoglu claimed that it was an ideal size, strong, and easy to move from room room. She also said it's a bit heavier than other cribs for bed but that's due to the extra features such as the rocking mode and the reflux incline.

Firm mattresses are one of the most important aspects to look for when choosing a crib. This helps reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) since soft mattresses increase the chance of being suffocated. A firm mattress can be healthier for your baby's health, since it is more comfortable and encourages healthy spinal development.

You can purchase the crib mattress separately. We recommend that you purchase the best quality mattress to give your baby the best quality sleep. Make sure the mattress is in compliance with British safety regulations and is the correct size for your child.

It's worth shopping for the best deal if you're considering purchasing a crib for your bed. Black Friday is a great time to buy cribs at a bargain. Just remember that it's still best to buy a crib directly from the manufacturer directly so you can be sure of its quality and ensure that it meets the necessary safety standards.

Style

A bedside crib with changing table crib is an attached bassinet that you can place next to your bed. They're ideal to keep your baby close to you, so you can easily reach them for night feedings or help them go back to sleep during nap times. They're also a great option for mums recovering from c-section births, who might struggle to get up to look after their baby in the middle of the night.

There's a variety of different styles to choose from, but some characteristics you should be looking for are:

How easy is it to keep clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is a machine washable mattress cover a must? How big is the bed and can you lower or raise it to make it more suitable? It is easy to move, but how heavy is it?

Mum test subject Jasmine particularly loved the fact that this crib is able to swivel, making it easier to reach into and out of to take her newborn. She also admired the size of it and said it's not as large as a full-sized crib but it's larger than standard Moses baskets and is a comfortable crib for babies. It's also simple to put together and folds flat, which makes it easy to carry. Some mums found it to be a bit heavy, however, and this may be an issue for those who have mobility issues.

Another option to consider is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket category. This crib is distinct from other cribs in that it does not have a drop down panel, but instead has an adjustable side you can lower so that you can reach your baby. It's not as compact when dismantled as some other bedside cribs however, it's still mobile and comes with a bag for easy storage.

Other cribs are designed to be converted into a toddler bed or cot with an expansion kit. This feature can be useful for families looking to expand their baby's sleeping space beyond the baby stage. However, it is not always required.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use are those that are near your bed, so you can watch your baby bedside crib, change diapers in the evening, and feed your baby without getting up from your bed. They'll usually have sides that fold or zip down easily to allow you to reach over in the dark to pick them up and they'll be breathable for comfort. The majority will have an upholstered bed, which is ideal as you don't want it to be too hard or clumpy.

The price of more complex models will likely be more expensive. Finally, consider whether the crib was designed to fit your bed or not. Certain cribs can only be fitted to a certain type of divan base. This could be a problem if you have a bed frame that is more unusual.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a great option for parents with divan beds, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the The Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. It was well-made with high-quality mesh sides that let you see the baby's face. Our mom testers gave it a thumbs up. It has a shelf for nappies or blankets, and weighs just 10kg.

The SnuzPod4 is an alternative. It comes in many colours and our mums are in love with it. They appreciate the design, which is slim and sleek, yet it offers plenty of space for baby to rest comfortably. And they appreciate the additional features, like the ability to tilt to aid in reflux and an energizing rocking mechanism.

Both cribs can be bought at PS99 or less, making them a more affordable option than a Moses Basket if you're trying to save money on your initial investment. Always follow the safe sleeping guidelines and ensure that the crib you pick is safe.
