Bedside Cot Reviews

A bedside crib, also referred to as a baby bassinet, is positioned next to your bed so that you are able to safely attend to your baby during night feedings and nappy-changings without having to leave bed. They are also ideal for creating confidence as your baby gets more comfortable in their own space to sleep.

The Joie Roomie Glide

The Joie Roomie Glide is a bedside crib that allows parents to sleep together with their baby while ensuring they're sleeping safely. Its smooth gliding motion can help soothe your baby to sleep and its ingenious features let you monitor your child without having to leave bed.

The cot's sliding side panel lifts and lowers with the touch of the button, making it a breeze to reach in and soothe a crying infant in the night. It also comes with 11 height adjustments that let it fit the mattress of almost any size bed and it has adjustable folding feet to make sure that it's placed at just the right height.

In terms of safety the cot is cushioned and fitted with mesh sides to provide more ventilation, and its mattress is made of high-density foam for extra protection. It's also wipeable so that you can keep it clean. Additionally, it is fitted with a sheet that's suitable for the cot for bedside.

The Roomie Glide, unlike some other cribs for beds, is compatible with a wide range of beds, including divans. This is because of the clips and straps that connect it. It can be used as a standalone crib even when it's not attached to the bed. It has many wonderful features designed with parent and baby bonding in mind.

It is crucial to keep in mind that this crib will not last as long after your baby turns six months. You will need to purchase a larger cot. However, overall Roanna thought that the Joie Roomie Glide was a very good purchase and she was particularly impressed by its elegant design.

The Roomie Glide is available to purchase at John Lewis for PS160, which Roanna considered to be a reasonable cost for a cot that has the most innovative features. She also liked how it looked in the bedroom, and believed that the grey color is a good fit for modern homes. She did mention that it's not an ideal idea to rock a baby in the early years because it can cause an unfavourable sleep pattern for later.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee

The Tutti Bambini CoZee is an award-winning crib for bed designed with a secure night's rest in mind. It features a drop-side rail that is able to be easily adjusted to feed your child during the night without disturbing them or causing them to get out of bed. This is great for mothers who breastfeed! It's also lightweight, making it easy to move around the house during nap time and also for travel.

We love that it's made of soft fabrics with mesh sides that breathe, which aids in airflow and ease of use. It is available in oak or charcoal with a range of melange fabrics that will blend with all styles of decor. Anna found it sturdy and secure when attached to her bed, with the legs securely clicking into place and the zips secure to ensure safety for babies. It took her about 10 minutes to assemble it and didn't require any tools, with clear instructions and a video or support contact number should you have any issues.

The CoZee crib comes with all the features you'd expect from a crib to your bedside cot bed, including the ability to connect it to your existing bed using a stay-in-place connection system. It also has six height settings. In addition it has an inclined feature that can be used to aid babies suffering from reflux or congestion. It can also be washed in the machine - a must for all the spills, vomit, and snot that accompany a new baby!

If you're looking to keep your baby close to you during the first six months when they're beginning to learn to sleep independently and independently, the CoZee is a fantastic option as it can also be used as a separate cot, changing table and toddler bed. It can be turned into a sofa bed by the addition of an extension pack. It won't feed your baby or magically sleep them, it will rock them until they go off!

The Chicco Next2Me Magic

This is one of Chicco's more expensive models, but it has a wide array of features. It can be used as either a side-sleeper or as a standalone crib that is suitable for infants from birth to six months. It is easy to open and close the side panel thanks to a brand new mechanism. It's also more adjustable than its predecessor with 11 different height levels and retractable feet for a secure place under any bed.

Our testers loved the easy access the side panel provides that can be flipped up and down with just one push of one button. This was especially helpful at night, as they could reach in and pick their baby up without waking them up.

It is possible to lower the side panel by itself, but this isn't recommended as it increases the risk that your baby will be thrown out of the cot. But, the patented safety locking mechanism ensures that it will only remain in place if it is connected to the parent's bed correctly. This feature can be very beneficial for peace of mind if you're breastfeeding and require frequent night feeds.

Telescopic legs enable the Chicco Next2Me Magic to be used with any bed including divan bases or beds with drawers. It also comes with a tilting function for babies with reflux and a rocking mode that can soothe them back to sleep after eating. It's also very large bedside crib and has great ventilation due to its mesh sides.

The Next2Me Magic was easy to use and set up for our test subjects despite the lengthy instruction manual. It's a bit heavier than other side-sleepers, however it's quite portable and can be moved from room room with ease. It's also small bedside cot enough to fit into its travel bag when not in use, which is a bonus in the event that you have to transport it. The only thing our test subjects found was that the side panel did not flex as much compared to other models. This made it a little harder to see your baby from your bed.

The Shnuggle Air

The Shnuggle Air bedside cots for newborns crib is an excellent choice if you want a crib that can grow with your child. It is designed to be a co-sleeping bassinet that can be attached securely to your bed and transform into a stylish cot once your baby is ready, it's ideal for feeding your baby at night and fostering a bond with your infant.

The Shnuggle Air crib is designed to breathe, not like other cribs. Its dual-view mesh sides and the airflow mattress, which is hypoallergenic and breathable increase airflow to keep your baby cool and comfortable. A gentle incline can help to reduce colic and reflux and colic, while the zip-down side makes it easy to feed or soothe your baby at night.

The kit for conversion to cot is also well-designed, with clear instructions. It includes everything you require. It took us around an hour to put together and was relatively simple. The only issue with the instructions was that some images were not captioned. This made it difficult for us to follow. Overall, the process was simple and the materials used were of high quality.

In the co-sleeping position, we found the Shnuggle Air to be an excellent option for breastfeeding mothers and women who have had a C-section because it lets them comfortably reach out to their infant for feeding and comfort without having to climb out of their bed. It's also great for mothers who want to avoid the stress of getting in and out of a traditional cot, or putting their baby down for a nap.

During our tests we noticed the smooth motion of the next-to-me crib to be particularly beneficial in helping babies fall asleep after feedings at night and midday. The drop-down side can be easily accessed to feed or soothe babies in the middle of the night and was a major draw for our exhausted test moms. Although it doesn't rock, or have extra features, like a sound machine, the Joie Roomie Slide's sleek design and functional features are a welcome addition to our best bedside crib reviews.
