Safety

A crib that is bedside is an innovative crib which connects seamlessly to parents' beds to provide parents with a convenient method to take care of their infant at night. The crib lets parents access their child easily so that they can feed or soothe them without having to leave bed, which is very useful for new parents who may be suffering from sleep deprivation during those early months. It promotes healthy growth in the baby by creating an environment that is safe and secure.

A top-quality bedside crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design on the foot of the bed. This reduces the chance of accidents that could harm your baby. They also have to meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure your baby is secure and safe when they're asleep. Make sure the mattress you have in your crib is firm and not soft. Also, check for any holes or gaps that could increase the risk of suffocation.

Avoid using pillows, duvets or baby bumpers for your baby's crib, in the event that they were not made to be used with a crib. They can pose an extremely risk to safety and might not meet the required safety standards. Also, make sure that any toys or items your baby bedside cot is playing with in the crib are securely attached, and that they don't protrude too far out of the crib's edges.

Ask other parents for their advice if you are unsure about a piece of equipment. Also, look for products that are new and meet current safety standards, not those that have been passed down or second-hand. Make sure the crib is free of damage prior to purchasing it.

A bassinet is a different option. It is like a crib but is usually fixed to your bed. It doesn't have legs. These are perfect for newborns and are a great option when you are recovering from a c-section. They keep your baby close to you throughout the day.

One of the most important things to look for in a crib is a mattress that is firm. Mattresses that are soft could increase the risk of SIDS, which is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Style

A bedside crib is an attached bassinet to your bed. These cribs are ideal for keeping your baby close so that you can reach them easily for evening feedings and help them back into sleep during nap time. They are also ideal for mums who have had csections and are unable to get up at the middle of the night to look after their newborn.

There are a variety of styles to choose from but you should look for the following features:

Can it be cleaned by machine or does it require an easy-to-clean mattress cover? What is the size of the mattress and can it be raised or adjusted to accommodate your bed? It is easy to move, but how heavy is it?

Mum test subject Jasmine particularly loved the fact that the crib can swivel, which made it easier to reach into and out of to take her newborn. She also liked the size, saying that it's not as big as a traditional crib but it is larger than the standard Moses baskets. It's also comfortable for her infant. It's also easy to assemble and folds flat for easy transportation. Some mums found it somewhat heavy, but this could be a problem for those who have mobility issues.

Another option to think about 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 for beds in that it doesn't come with drop-down panels, but instead an adjustable side that you can lower to allow baby to get closer. It's not as compact when dismantled like other cribs, but it's still fairly mobile and comes with a travel bag that makes it easy to store.

Some cribs can be transformed into a cot or toddler with the help of an expansion kit. This can be a useful option for families planning to extend the duration of their baby's sleep space long past the infant stage, but isn't always required.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use are ones that sit right next to your bed, so that you can watch your baby and take care of feedings at night and changing nappy without having to get out of your own bed. They'll typically have sides that fold or zip down easily, to allow you to reach over in the dark to scoop them up and they'll also be breathable to ensure comfort. Many will come with a mattress, which is crucial because you need it to be firm and flat, not soft or clumpy.

You must also consider how easy it is to build - some cribs are more simple than others, and the more complicated models likely costing more. Consider whether the crib will work with your bed or not. Some may only work with a particular type of divan base, and this could be a problem if have a unique bed frame.

It was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the category of the Best Cot or Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-made and has a high mesh side so you can see the baby's face. Our mom testers gave it a thumbs up. It also comes with a handy storage shelf for nappies and blankets and is light at 10kg.

The SnuzPod4 is an alternative. It comes in a variety of colours and our mums enjoy it. The SnuzPod4 is a slim, elegant option that offers plenty of space for babies to rest comfortably. Our moms also love the features, such as the incline option which aid in reducing reflux, as well as a relaxing, rocking mechanism.

Both cribs can be bought at PS99 or less, which makes them a more affordable option than a Moses Basket if you're trying to save money on your initial investment.
