Safety
A bedside cot crib is an innovative crib that connects seamlessly to the parents' bed to provide a comfortable method for parents to take care of their baby during the night. The crib allows parents to easily reach their infant to comfort or feed them without having to leave the bed. This is especially helpful for mothers who be suffering from sleep deprivation in the beginning of their pregnancy. It promotes healthy growth in the infant by providing an environment that is safe and secure.
A top-quality bedside crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design at the bottom of the bed. This helps reduce the chance of accidents that may harm your baby. The cribs also have safety standards like BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is secure and safe while they sleep. Also, make sure the mattress that comes with your crib is firm instead of soft, and look for any gaps that could increase your baby's danger of suffocation or getting trapped.
It is also recommended to be wary of using duvets, pillows, or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they're designed specifically to be used in conjunction with a cot or a crib as they could pose a serious hazard and may not meet safety standards. You should also ensure that any toys your baby utilizes in the crib are securely attached and doesn't extend out too far.
If you're uncertain about a piece of equipment, you can always ask other parents in a NCT group or at a baby cafe for advice and choose a crib that is brand new and complies with current safety standards, instead of second-hand or hand-me-downs. Examine the crib for any damage prior to purchasing it.

Gulhan Arapoglu stated that it was an adequate size, durable, and easy to move from room room.

One of the most important things to look for in a crib is its firm mattress. This can reduce the chance 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 wellbeing, as it is more comfortable and encourages healthy spinal development.
You can buy the crib mattress separately. We suggest that you invest in the best quality mattress to ensure your baby gets the best quality sleep. Make sure the mattress is in compliance with British safety standards and is the correct size for your child.

Style
A bedside crib is a bassinet that can be attached to the side of your bed. These cribs are ideal to keep your baby close so that you can reach them easily during meals at night and also to soothe them back into sleep during nap time. These are also great for mums who have had c-sections but struggle to get up in the middle of the night to look after their infant.
There are a variety of styles available, but you should look for the following characteristics:
How easy is it to keep it clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is an easy-to-clean mattress cover a must? What size is the bed and can you lower or raise it to fit? What's the weight and is it easy to move around your home, particularly when you intend to use it in more than one room at one time?
Mum tester Jasmine particularly liked the fact that this crib is able to swivel, making it easier to reach into and out of to pick up her newborn. She also admired the size of the crib and said it's not as big as a standard crib, but it's bigger than typical Moses baskets and is a comfortable crib for babies. It's also simple to put together and it folds flat, making it easy to transport. It was quite heavy for some mothers and could be an issue for those with mobility issues.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option that you could think about. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. This crib is distinct from the rest because it does not have a drop down panel, but instead has an adjustable side that you can lower to reach your baby. It's not as compact when dismantled as other cribs for bed, but it's still fairly mobile and comes with a travel bag for easy storage.
Some cribs can convert into a toddler bed or cot using an expansion kit. This is a great feature for families who are looking to extend the lifespan of their baby's sleeping space long past the newborn stage, but it's not always required.
Budget
The best cribs for bedside use will sit right by your bed, so you can watch baby and take care of the needs of feeding and changing nappies without having to get out of your own bed. They'll usually have sides that fold or zip down easily to allow you to reach over in the dark to scoop them up, and they should also be breathable for your comfort. Most will come with a bed, which is ideal since you don't want it to be too soft or lumpy.
It is also important to consider the ease of assemble - some are much easier than others, with the more complicated models likely costing more. Finally, consider whether the crib was designed to be a perfect fit for 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 bedframe that is unique.
The Next2me Magic crib which is popular with those who own a divan, is a great option for those who already have one. It was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, in the category of Best Cot or Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-constructed with high-quality mesh sides that let you see the baby's face. Our mum testers liked it and gave it a thumbs-up. It has a shelf that can be used for nappies or blankets and weighs only 10kg.
Another good option is the SnuzPod4, which comes in a variety of colors and our mothers have been really positive about it too. They like the design, which is slim and sleek, but still provides ample space for babies to sleep comfortably, and they are enthralled by the extra features, such as an incline option to aid with reflux, as well as an energizing rocking mechanism.
Both these cribs are available for PS99 or less and are a more budget-friendly option than a Moses basket if you're trying to save money on your initial purchase. Always follow safe guidelines for sleeping and make sure the crib you select is safe.
