This crib allows them to reach their baby easily so they can feed and comfort their child without having to leave the bed. This is useful for new parents suffering from sleep deprivation during those early years. It promotes healthy growth in the baby by creating a safe and comfortable environment.

These cribs will also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which assures your baby is safe and secure while they sleep. You should also ensure the mattress you get with your crib is firm instead of soft, and look for any gaps that could increase your baby's risk of suffocation or entrapment.
It is also recommended to avoid using pillows, duvets, or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they are designed specifically for use in conjunction with a cot or a crib, as they can pose a serious hazard and may not be safe. You should also ensure that any toys your baby uses in the crib is securely secured and does not protrude out too far.
If you're not sure about a piece of equipment, you can always ask other parents in an NCT group or at a baby cafe for suggestions and choose a crib that is brand new and complies with current safety standards, instead of second-hand or used cribs. Examine the crib for any damage before buying it.
