What is a bedside crib with wheels crib?
A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or co-sleeper, is a small baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your child to sleep with you in peace. This is a safe form of co-sleeping, which does not increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It also helps you bond with the new baby.
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 useful for mothers who are recovering from a c section. Many are also portable or foldable, so you can take them on your travels and use them as a sleeping solution for newborns who aren't yet ready to move to a full-sized cot.
Choose a crib that has an air-conditioned mattress, as well as an appropriate cover to protect your baby from staining. You might also want to purchase some baby-safe accessories like an infant blanket or a teether.
If you're looking for a longer-term option, some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to turn them into a cot, or a toddler bed at the time of need. This will prolong their life and make the transition smoother. Some have a removable top section that transforms into an infant bed, and some can be used on the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a good choice for families who are planning on frequent travel or switching rooms at night. You should also think about the size of your bedroom to ensure that you can fit the crib in comfortably. A lot of cribs have a riser which can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide
Famous for their high-end baby products for babies, the English brand Joie has entered the world of cribs for bedside use with the Roomie Glide. The co-sleeper was created to help parents bond and sleep side by side with their babies, without sharing the same bed. It is full of features that make bonding between parents and baby secure, easy and enjoyable.
A gentle rocking motion can be activated by pressing a button. This will help soothe your baby to sleep with a gentle rhythm that doesn't disrupt their natural sleeping pattern. This is great for older babies or toddlers who have difficulty settling down. It can also assist with digestive issues such as reflux and colic.
The crib can also be affixed to the side of the bed by a strap and clip attachment. This makes the crib very stable and secure, allowing you to sleep soundly without worrying that your baby will roll off into the middle. The rounded cocoon shape comes with softly cushioned sides and double mesh windows on both sides to allow ample air flow while protecting your baby.
The mattress included is comfortable and firm. It comes with a washable cover. The crib is simple to set up and disassemble thanks to an aluminum frame that is lightweight and makes it very mobile.

The crib is easy to clean with the fabric that wipes clean and is able to be easily tucked away in bags for the duration of your stay.

The deluxe airflow mattresses provide an ideal sleeping surface while ventilation panels help keep your baby cool. There are six different height settings including an incline option that can aid in reducing reflux and congestion.
The Tutti Bambini COZee air crib has a fabric that can be removed and a wipe-clean lining. This makes it much easier to clean than some 4-in-1 bedside crib cribs that are messy to clean. It also has a top bar that is easily lowered for feeding at night without having to search for zips in the dark.
Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfy sleep space for her newborn. She liked that it didn't move like other models, so she wasn't woken up at night while trying to soothe her baby to feed. She also liked that the side of the chair was lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner in order to lift the child for nighttime feedings.
The CoZee is available in oak or charcoal and is a chic option for any bedroom. It looks more like an elegant piece of furniture than some of the other cribs we've tried, which appear quite utilitarian. It's also quite light at just 11kg and comes with a carry bag so you can carry it with you on holiday or when you move home. The only things you'll have to purchase are a waterproof sheet and a co-sleeping safety strap. The instructions and pictures are easy to follow when you first open the box.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bedside travel cot bassinet that helps parents feel connected to their child while they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and can be moved through three slide positions to be placed next to the bed of the parent, or in the corner of the room so that the baby is always within arm's reach. The breathable mesh siding allows air to flow through, and allows you to glance at your baby. And you can store extra pajamas and supplies in the large bedside crib storage basket under.
Unlike some other smaller bedside cribs, the Iora folds flat and comes with a bag for travel to allow it to be carried anywhere. Our mum testers found it easy to move from room to room and felt that it was a suitable size for a bedside crib with wheels cot, and not too big or small. They also loved the large storage basket perfect for storing spare bedding or nappies.
This is a great choice for parents who want to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but don't want to share their own beds, or whose partners might have mobility issues, like arthritis or back issues. Our mums who tested it were thrilled to be able to easily access their child in the Iora and that it came with an adjustable reflux incline that helped reduce gas.
Our moms are also thrilled that it meets NICE guidelines which state that you should place the infant in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets, pillows, etc). The mattress is also a good firm and comfortable for babies, and sheets are easily available. It's not as light as some of the cribs that are smaller on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier for you to move around, consider a different alternative.
