Is a Bedside Crib Co Sleeper Right For Your Baby? If you want to keep your baby close to you for an easy nighttime feeding, a bedside crib co-sleeper is the perfect choice. They're a safer alternative to traditional Moses baskets, based on official safe sleeping guidance from the Lullaby Trust and NHS. This crib is a popular choice among home testers since it is adjustable to match your bed height and swivels all 360 degrees to make it easy to access. It is easy to fold and comes with a bag for travel. Safety Bedside cribs are a great option to keep baby close by at night without the risk of overheating or suffocating. They are attached to your bed, so you can reach out and help or feed your child during the middle of the night. They're also great for mothers recovering from having a c-section. There are many things to consider before investing in one. If you're searching for an appropriate crib to be placed next to your bed, be sure that the crib you select is safe and meets the current standards for safety. A lot of cribs older than that were recalls due to the danger of strangulation or entrapment posed by the gaps between the mattress and the sides as well as the crib. Make sure the crib you are considering is compliant with the new BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirement that was released in November of this year. The most significant change in the new regulations is that bedside cribs will not have drop-down sides. Most cribs have “half height' walls, which still allow your child to lay next to your bed, but provide a more protective barrier since they are a bit beneath the mattress. All of the models on our list comply with these new requirements which includes the Graco Pack 'n Play on the Go and the Chicco Lullago that were both shortlisted for the Mother&Baby Awards in 2017. It's also important to ensure that the crib you're looking at is secure enough to be attached to your bed and is secured properly. This is particularly crucial if you intend to use it with a sidecar sleeper, such as the freestanding Graco Pack 'n Play on the move or the Graco BassiNest Premiere, which were both shortlisted in the Mother&Baby awards. It is crucial to keep in mind that a crib is designed for sleeping and should not be used in conjunction with bedding or accessories such as pillows, blankets, toys or stuffed animals.

The best models come with slats that are wide and spacious enough to allow air flow. You can also move the window or door depending on your needs. It's easy to change your baby's diaper or nurse them, or monitor them at the end of the night. Some models also come with an swaddle bag to assist you sleep in a safe routine. It should be small and light in its fold so that it is easy to carry around the house. It is also easy to clean, and come with a a removable and washable mattress cover. A pocket on one end is handy to store nappies and baby clothes. Some cribs for bedside use the mattress, while other require you to purchase one separately. Make sure the mattress is designed specifically for your model and is supple, flat and comfortable. Avoid using mattresses from second-hand stores as they could increase the risk of SIDS. Look for a crib with an adjustable height so that it is in line with the height of your own bed. A bedside crib that is adjustable in height can be extremely beneficial for you, particularly if you recovering from a C Section. Certain models have additional features that could be beneficial, such as a tummy tilt for reflux, or detach to become 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. Look at the cost and find out what bedding is included in the crib. It is usually necessary to buy separate sheets for your child's cot at bedside.

Bedside cribs are more affordable than Moses Baskets, however they have great features, such as the breathable mesh, the see-through sides, an option for reflux incline and an adjustable height. Our favorite is the Tutti Bambini CoZee, which combines style with practicality to create the perfect co-sleeper. It's available in three colors and has smart oak legs, so it will fit right into your bedroom. It's also easy to put together and fold up, and comes with a handy carry bag for trips to grandparents. Some cribs have side panels that can be lowered during the day to allow you to touch your baby and sleep safely however, they are raised at the 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 use for a crib next to a bed is properly fitted. There shouldn't be gaps or other openings which could lead to an air suffocation. That's why many cribs have an adjustable mattress, however you can purchase suitable sheets at most stores. It is a good idea to avoid second-hand mattresses, which may be worn out and degrade over time, posing a risk of increasing the risk of SIDS. Bedside cribs are also smaller and lighter than Moses baskets. This makes them much easier to move from room to room, or to take when you go on vacation. The best bedside cradles are small enough to fit in bags to allow you to transport them on short trips. Convenience Bedside cribs are a great option for parents and babies because they allow you to see your baby at night without the fear of them falling off the mattress or becoming suffocated. It's important to remember that the Lullaby Trust, NHS and other official sleep guidelines suggest you only co-sleep your baby with them for the first six months, with a separate mattress in the same room to reduce the chance of SIDS. Depending on the model you pick, bedside cribs can feature features that increase their convenience. For instance, one of the top-rated models we tested in our MFM home tests is swivels and adjusts height so it's easy to reach in and pick up your child. This model also has a sidewall that slopes down, which one MFM home tester said gave an easy access to soothe their baby. Some models include additional features like a rocking function (useful for fussy babies) or tilt settings to aid in reflux. These are useful for children with an illness that can cause reflux, however, your infant should be sleeping on an even, firm mattress to avoid suffocation or overheating. When selecting a model take into consideration the ease to clean. Check if the fabric is machine washable, and if it comes with a waterproof protector to protect against leaky nappies or dribbles. Some cribs for bedside use a fitted sheet, which makes it easier for you to wash and change it. Other features to consider include how easy it is to assemble and how compact it is when folded away. Consider whether it is simple to attach to your bed, and if it comes with a bag for travel. Also, think about if it has additional features like a tummy tilt or the option of turning it into a moses basket for older children – this could be helpful for travel.
