Bedside Crib and Travel Cot

bedside co sleeper cribs are a bassinet-style cot that is attached to the side of your bed. They often have one side that can be lowered down for easy reach, and some have an incline that's ideal for babies who have reflux.

MFM tester Georgina found this crib to be easy to build and the instructions were simple, resulting in an easy and quick build. It also folds down to a compact size and comes with a convenient bag for travel.

Easy to assemble

They are small and easy to set up, so they can be set close to your bed. They are also lighter, which makes them more portable. Georgina, who was one of MFM's home testers, said that the Maxi-Cosi Lora was "super easy to assemble with clear instructions, and zips that are easy to open." The crib can be used as a travel crib, and it comes with a convenient bag. It has multiple mesh openings for ventilation, and its adjustable height allows it to fit on any mattress.

Some cribs with a bedside cot bed feature a side panel which can be adjusted to allow you to be able to easily reach your baby without getting out of bed. This is a great choice for mothers who are breastfeeding or those who want to be close to their infant at night, but don't wish to take on the risk of co-sleeping.

Most models have an integrated rocking feature. This can be a soothing experience for your baby, and can help them fall asleep. Some cribs have a reclining position, which can be useful if your baby has reflux or colic. These should only be used under supervision, and a GP or health visitor is recommended prior to attempting this position.

A lot of cribs with a bedside have an umbrella to protect your baby from sound or light. This can help calm the baby. Some have storage compartments beneath, which is ideal to store blankets, nappies and clothes for your baby.

Some cribs that are bedside can be converted into standalone cots or toddler beds This is an attractive selling point for families. The Joie Roomie which was the winner of the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards is a great example. It comes with removable side panels, a conversion kit, and a tummy-tilt, making it a great travel companion. It comes with five different height adjustments that can be set to your bed. Our MFM home testers praised the Joie Roomie Go for being comfortable and easy to set up and compact. The Graco Play Yard is also known as a Pack and Play is a different popular option. It was shortlisted for the 2022 Mother&Baby Awards.

Cosy and cozy

You can watch your child from the peace of your bed by using a bedside crib. It's the ideal solution for a mother recovering from a csection, since you can easily carry your baby up to you to feed them or make nappy changes without having to get out of bed. And the cosiest cribs also have breathable mesh sides you can see your newborn through.

Some cribs lower the barrier completely, giving you the convenience of co-sleeping without the risks (check that your chosen model is in compliance with the most recent safety standards however). Some cribs let you keep the barrier lowered but then raise it after you've lifted baby out of the crib, which is better for parents who have fears of their little one rolling off the end of their mattress.

The Luah is the winner of the Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot or Moses Basket in 2021, is designed to attach to divans and bedsteads but requires longer straps (check your specs to make sure your bed can accommodate). The large design has an opening side panel, and a perforated bottom with a patented design that provides air cushioning to increase air flow. There's an integrated setting for reflux and the ability to swivel 360 degrees, allowing you to rotate the crib to suit the position your baby prefers.

If you're seeking something smaller, Tutti Bambini CoZee offers oak legs that come with a range of fabrics that fit in with your decor. It is also very simple to put together. Georgina who took part in the MFM test was able to put it together in a matter of minutes without needing to consult any instructions. It's also a great travel cot, folding down flat and popping into a bag for easy storage.

The Next2me Magic, shortlisted for best bedside cot Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, has a larger size, yet it's compact and easy to attach to your bed. Georgina also found it easy to set up although she thought the instructions could have been clearer regarding the zips.

Easy to clean

When you're looking at bedside cribs and travel cots make sure they have a removable mattress cover that can be machine-washed. This will allow you to keep it free of leaky nappies, sick babies and drips. It's important to choose a product that is able to be disassembled and dismantled in parts, to allow you access to all the corners and crevices for a thorough cleaning and sanitising.

This is essential, as it will ensure that all germs and dirt have been cleared away. Check that the sides of the crib are securely secured so that your baby cannot fall off or be trapped.

Apart from being easy to clean, you'll want a bedside crib that is comfortable for your baby and is compatible with your bed. This is particularly important when you're using a co-sleeping bedside crib. These are designed to attach securely to the side of the parent's bed and allow parents to easily reach their baby throughout the night to feed and comfort their baby while ensuring the safety of separate sleeping surfaces.

When choosing a crib for your bedroom take into consideration whether it has extra features that may be beneficial to you. For example, some have the ability to rock (useful for sleepers who are fussy) or tilt, but be aware that you should only utilize this feature with care because it could be dangerous if your baby bedside crib gets out of the crib.

You'll need to ensure that your crib or travel bed has a flat, firm mattress that fits comfortably into the frame. This will lower the risk of SIDS by making sure that your baby's head and feet don't slide down into any gaps or folds in the bedding.

It's a good idea to purchase a new mattress for your crib or travel cot rather than use one that was handed down or bought second-hand. Mattresses that have been used are more susceptible to lose their shape with time and increase the risk of SIDS. All cribs that are new must be compliant with BS EN1130:2019. This is the most current standard that introduces stricter requirements to ensure the safety of your sleep and provide effective solutions.

Versatile

A bedside Crib with changing table crib (or co-sleeping crib as they're sometimes referred to) attaches to your bed, allowing you to easily reach your baby at night without having to leave your own sleeping area. They can also be used as a standalone crib during the day. The majority of cribs come with a side panel that can be lowered so that you can feel your baby's hand and see him. Some cribs let you keep the side panel down at night. This allows you to be close and convenient with your baby while taking care to minimize the risks of sharing a bed. Some cribs will also convert into a travel cot, or come with additional features such as rocking, tilting (use with caution, make sure to talk to your GP about this) or changing into an older baby cot or playpen.

The SnuzPod 4 crib is popular for many reasons, not just because of its sleek Scandi design. This crib has six height settings as well as an attractive shelf to store things on. It's also a little heavier and bulkier than many of our more travel-friendly cribs, but it comes in a convenient bag to keep it free of dust and clean when it's stored.

The instructions are clear and there is a handy toolkit included to assist you. It is also easy to clean using the possibility of washing it in the machine and breathable fabric. It comes with a few more extras than some of the other cribs we've used with, like an anti-reflux incline, a rocking function, and a storage pocket.

Jasmin says that this is a great crib because it's "easy to reach baby during the night to feed without fuss, and larger than most Moses baskets so it will last longer before my son is out of it". She also likes how easy it is to clean and how it feels sturdy and well made. It's also designed to fit on a divan, which makes it an ideal option for those who have limited space. Plus, it has an easy-to-carry bag that you can carry around when travelling. A perfect all-rounder.
