What is a bedside cot?
A bedside crib travel crib, also known as a bassinet or a co-sleeper, is a small baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your child to sleep right next to you in safety. This is a form of safe co-sleeping that does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing and can help you bond with your newborn.
The cots come with one side that can be lowered so that you can reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is especially useful for mums recovering from the c-section. Many of them are foldable or portable, so you can bring them along on trips and use them as a temporary sleep solution for newborns who aren't ready to transition to a full-sized cot.
When shopping for a crib that is bedside cosleeper Look for a crib that has a breathable mattress and a cover to shield your baby from the stains. You might also want to purchase baby-safe items such as a blanket or teether.
If you're looking for a more long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a toddler bed or cot at the time that is appropriate. This is a great option for extending their life span and making the transition more seamless. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be turned into the bassinet. Others can be used with an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise model. This is a great option for families who are planning to travel bedside crib frequently or switch between bedrooms at night. Consider the dimensions of your room to ensure you fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with risers that can be used to create an incline for babies with reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide
Known for their high-quality baby products for babies, the English brand Joie has stepped into the world of cribs that are bedside with the Roomie Glide. This co-sleeper was designed to allow parents to connect and sleep side by side with their babies without sharing the same bed. It's loaded with features that make bonding between parents and baby safe, easy and enjoyable.
A smooth, steady rocking motion could be activated by pressing the button. This gentle rhythm can soothe your baby to sleep without disrupting their normal sleep patterns. This is great for older babies or toddlers who have difficulty settling down. It can also help with digestive issues such as colic and reflux.
The crib can be locked in its place after the rocking has been completed to stop it from moving. It can also be secured to the bed's side with clips and straps. This makes the crib solid and secure which allows you to rest comfortably without fearing that your baby might roll off into the middle. The round shape of the cocoon is complemented by softly padding on the sides and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.
The included mattress is comfortable and firm and includes a washable cover. The aluminum frame is lightweight, making the crib extremely lightweight and easy to set up. The four lockable wheels are covered in rubber to ensure the crib won't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. The crib is easy to clean due to the fabric that wipes clean and can be easily packed in a bag for overnight stays.
The Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir
It is designed to be a secure crib for babies from birth to six months old, this premium model features rocking bedside crib bars and castors that allow for ease of movement. The airflow mattress is a premium model that provides an ideal sleeping surface and the ventilation panels ensure your baby is kept cool. There are six different height settings and an incline option to aid in reducing reflux and congestion.
In contrast to other cribs for bed that can be a nightmare to clean due to their constant stream of snot and dribble, the Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir comes with a wipe-clean liner and fabric that can be removed for machine-washing. It also has a top bar that can be easily adjusted to allow for feeding at night without having to fiddle with zips.
Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfortable sleep space for her newborn. She loved that it didn't sway like some other models, which meant it didn't wake her up at night when she was trying to comfort her baby during feedings. She also liked that the side of the chair could be lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to lift the child to feed them at night.
The CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a fashionable addition to any bedroom. It's more modern than other cribs we've tried, which are often quite utilitarian. It's also fairly light at 11kg and comes with a carry bag so you can take it on vacation or if you're moving home. You only need to purchase an waterproof sheet and a safety strap for co-sleeping. There are step-by-step directions and photos to assist you in putting it together as you open the box, making it a one-person task when needed.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bassinet designed for infants designed to make parents feel more connected to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down and moved to three different positions for sliding to fit under the bed of the parent or in the corner so that the baby is always at hand. The breathable mesh siding allows air to flow through and lets you glance at your child. You can also keep additional pajamas or other items in the large basket underneath.
As opposed to other bedside crib with changing table cribs, the Iora folds flat and comes with a carry-on bag to allow it to be carried anywhere. Our mom testers found it easy to move from room to room and felt it was a great size for a small bedside cot that was not too big or too small. They also appreciated the large storage basket, perfect for storing nappies or other bedding items.
This is a great option for parents looking to co-sleep, but don't wish to share their beds or whose partner may be prone to mobility issues, such as arthritis or back pain. Our mom testers love the fact that they can easily access their baby in the Iora, and it also has an optional reflux incline to help with gas.
Our mothers appreciate the fact that it meets NICE guidelines, which are to place the baby in the 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 easy to find. It's not as light as other smaller cribs on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier for you to move, you can choose another option.
