your baby close throughout the night without putting them at risk of suffocation or overheating They are attached to the side of your bed so you can easily reach out to soothe or feed your infant during the night Theyre also ideal for mums recovering from the csection Theres plenty to think about before you purchase one If youre choosing a crib to place beside your bed ensure that the crib you select meets current safety standards Many older cribs were recalls due to the danger of strangulation or entrapment posed by the gaps between the mattress the sides and the crib Make sure the crib you are considering meets the new BS EN 11302019 safety requirement which was introduced in November of 2020 The new rules forbid cribs for bedside use from having sides that completely fall down Instead many models come with halfheight walls that still allow your baby to lay next to your bed but provide a more protective barrier by sinking a little lower than your mattress All of the models we have listed comply with these new requirements which includes the Graco Pack n Play on the Go and the Chicco Lullago both of which were shortlisted in the MotherBaby Awards 2017 Make sure that the crib is securely affixed to your bed and that it is correctly fixed This is particularly crucial if you plan to use the crib with a sidecar sleep system such as the Graco Pack n Play On The Go or the Graco BassiNest Premiere which were both shortlisted for the MotherBaby Awards It is crucial to keep in mind that a crib is only intended for sleep and should not be used with bedding or other items like toys blankets pillows or stuffed animal The Lullaby Trust along with the AAP have issued official safe sleep guidelines that state that infants should sleep in their cribs or cots and not on a bed that is used by an adult or any other type or soft furnishings Comfort A crib that is placed near your bed allows you to keep your baby close by throughout the night without the danger of bedsharing which can increase the likelihood of SIDS You can also reach over to soothe your baby without getting out of bed in the middle night Its a safe convenient and comfortable alternative to an infant Moses basket or infant bassinet for babies and infants up to 6 months old The best models have slats which are wide and open enough to allow air flow They also feature an opening or window that you can roll up or down as needed This makes it easier to change your babys diaper nurse them or check on them throughout the night Some models also come with a swaddle sack to help you sleep in a safe routine Youll want a mattress that is light and compact when folded so its easy to move around the house or transport to your destination It must also be easy to clean and come with a an easily washable and removable mattress cover The pocket on one side can be used to store extra nappies and baby clothes Some bedside cribs come with a mattress and others you have to buy separately Ensure that the mattress is specifically designed for your model and is supple flat and breathable Avoid secondhand mattresses since they increase the risk of SIDS Choose a crib that has an adjustable height so that its in line with the size of your own bed A bedside crib that can be adjusted in height could be very beneficial to you especially if you are recovering from a C Section Some models include useful extras like the tummytilt feature for reflux or a detachable moses bin which can later be used as a playpen for toddlers Other things to consider are whether the crib rock folds down to lie flat for storage or comes with a bag for travel Its also worth checking the cost of the crib and what bedding is included Its not uncommon to buy separate sheets for the crib that your baby is sleeping in Style New mums love the convenience of bedside cribs which allow them to monitor their baby during feedings at night and diaper changes without getting out of bed Theyre also great for helping babies settle after a csection or in the aftermath of other medical conditions like colic or reflux The best crib is contingent on your requirements and lifestyle Apart from the obvious safety features think about whether you want to be able to get your child from the crib to feed them or calm them and if it has additional features like a rocking function Also consider the size and height of your bed and ensure that the crib you pick will fit comfortably Bedside cribs are generally more affordable than Moses baskets However dont let that fool you theyre still packed with fantastic features like breathable mesh and seethrough sides as well as reflux incline options and adjustable height Our favorite is the Tutti Bambini CoZee which blends style and practicality to make the perfect cosleeper Its available in three different colors with elegant oak legs that fit into any bedroom Its also simple to put together fold and comes with a convenient bag for trips to the grandparents Some cribs come with side panels that can be lowered down to let you touch your baby during the day and for a safer cosleeping environment However they will pop up again at the night The Arms Reach ClearVue CoSleeper for instance comes with this feature though one of our MFM home test participants found it difficult to use at first You must ensure that the bedding you choose for a crib beside a bed is properly fitted There should not be gaps or other openings that could lead to an air suffocation This is why a lot of cribs have an adjustable mattress however sheets that are suitable for use at most retailers Its a good idea avoid mattresses that are secondhand as they are prone to wear and deteriorate over time potentially increasing the risk of SIDS Bedside cribs are also smaller and lighter than Moses baskets This makes them more convenient to transport from room to rooms or to take when you go on trips on The best bedside cribs are small enough to fit in bags so you can easily bring them along for short trips Convenience Bedside cribs are ideal for new babies and parents because they allow you to watch your baby at night without the fear of them rolling off your mattress or getting suffocated However its important to remember that the official guidelines for safe sleep from the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that you only sleep in a bed with your baby for the first six months with an additional bed in the same room to lower the chance of SIDS Depending on which model you pick the bedside crib may include features that make it more practical One of the best cribs in our MFM home test swivels and can be adjusted in height to make it easier for you reach in and pick up your child This model also has a sidewall that dips down which an MFM home tester said gave her easy access to comfort their infant Some models come with extras such as a rocking feature great for babies who are fussy or incline settings that aid with reflux These are helpful if your child has a condition that can cause reflux however your baby should be sleeping on an even firm mattress to prevent suffocation and overheating When choosing a model be aware of how easy it is to clean Make sure the fabric can be machine washed and if theres a mattress protector that is waterproof that protects you from leaky nappies and infant sick or spills Some bedside cribs come with a fitted sheet which makes it easier to change and wash it Consider the ease of assembly and compactness when folded Check if its easy to attach to your bed and whether it has a bag to use to take it with you on your travels Consider if the product has extras such as a tummytilt or the ability to convert it into an oversized Moses basket for older children This can be helpful when travelling
