A bedside crib allows you to safely co-sleep with your baby without risking overheating or death by suffocation. It is designed to be attached to the side of your bed, they're especially beneficial for mothers of c-sections who are unable to get out of bed a challenge.

MFM home test Emily found this crib simple to put together and she loved the mesh windows for breathability and baby visibility. It folds flat and slots into an ideal travel bag.

Safety

A bedside crib is an innovative crib that seamlessly connects with the parents bed to provide a comfortable method for parents to take care of their baby at night. This crib allows parents to easily reach their infant so that they can comfort or feed them without having to leave the bed. This is especially beneficial for mothers who are new and may be suffering from sleep deprivation during the beginning of their pregnancy. It also aids in promoting a healthy growth of the baby by providing a safe and comfortable sleep environment.

A quality bedside crib will have a an extremely strong connection and a non-slip design for the foot of the bed that reduces the chance of accidents that could potentially cause harm to your baby. They also have to meet safety standards like BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure your baby is safe and secure when they sleep. Check that the mattress that comes in your crib is firm and not soft. Also, check for any gaps or holes that could increase your child's danger of suffocation.

It is also recommended to avoid using duvets, pillows, or baby bumpers in your baby's crib unless they are designed specifically to be used with a crib or cot because they could be an immediate danger and not meet safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any toy your baby bedside sleeper plays with in the crib is securely attached and does not protrude out too far.

Ask other parents for their advice in case you are uncertain about certain pieces of equipment. Also, search for items that are brand modern and meet the current safety standards instead of ones that were handed down or second-hand. Make sure the crib is free of damage before buying it.

Another alternative is to buy an infant bassinet. It's similar to a cot, but typically fixes to your bed and does not have legs. They are great for babies and are particularly beneficial if you're recovering from a C section, since they're a great option to keep your baby close by your side throughout the day.

Size

Sweet2Sleep's bedside crib allows you to keep your baby close throughout the night. Ideal for feeding at midnight, heartfelt cuddles and comfort checks while you are cosy in your own bed, this clever crib is loaded with features to help you bond and soothe your baby. Simply lift or lower the side rails of the crib with one hand to soothe your infant or to provide secure monitoring of sleep. It has an easy rocking feature and an incline feature to help relieve symptoms such as indigestion and stomach pain.

It comes with a huge storage space beneath the crib that's perfect for nappies or blankets. It's designed to be used with divan beds (check the specs because some might require longer straps) and you don't have to fret about your bed frame. Gulhan Arapoglu said that it was a good size, sturdy and easy to move from room to room. She also says that it is a little heavier than other bedside cribs, but this is due to the additional features, such as a rocking mode or reflux incline.

Firm mattresses are one of the most important features to look for when selecting the crib. Soft mattresses can increase the risk of SIDS, also known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A firm mattress will also be more beneficial for your baby, as it is more comfortable and encourages healthy spinal development.

You can buy a crib mattress separately, but we recommend investing in a premium quality model to ensure that your child has the best sleep possible. Check that the mattress meets British safety regulations and is the right size for your child.

If you're thinking of buying a bedside cot crib (read this post here) it's worth doing an extensive search to make sure you're getting the best price. Making use of Black Friday sales is a great way to save money on these cribs. Be sure to buy cribs directly from the manufacturer to ensure they are secure and meet the safety standards.

Style

A bedside crib is a bassinet that you can place next to your bed. They're ideal for keeping your newborn bedside cot close to you so you can easily reach them for night feedings or to soothe them to sleep during nap times. They're also great for mothers who have had csections and struggle to get up at the middle of the night to look after their infant.

There are a wide variety of styles you can pick from, but some of the features that you may want to look for are:

Can it be cleaned by machine or do you need an unwashable mattress cover? What size is the mattress and can it be lowered or raised lower to fit your bed? What is the weight and is it easy to move around your home, bedside cot crib particularly when you intend to use it in more than one room at the same time?

Jasmine, a mum tester, loved that the crib swivels. This made it easier for her to reach in and out of it to pick up her baby. She also admired its size and said it's not as large as a full-sized crib but it's larger than typical Moses baskets and is comfortable for babies. It's also simple to put together and folds flat for easy transportation. It was quite heavy for some mums who were carrying it around, which could be an issue for those with mobility issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option that you could consider. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. This is distinct from other cribs for beds in that it does not have a drop-down panel but rather an adjustable side that you can lower to allow baby to get closer. It's not quite as compact as other cribs, but it is still portable and comes with an included travel bag.

Some cribs can be converted into a cot or toddler using an expansion kit. This can be beneficial for families who wish to increase their baby's sleeping space beyond the infant stage. However, it's not always required.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use are those that are close to your bed to let you watch your baby, change diapers in the evening, and feed your baby without having to get up from your bed. They'll typically have sides that fold or zip down easily to allow you to reach over in the dark to grab them and they'll be breathable to ensure comfort. Many will come with a mattress, which is important because you need it to be firm and flat, not super-soft or lumpy.

You must also consider the ease of build - some cribs are simpler than others, with the more complex models costing more. Finally, consider whether the crib is made to fit your own bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a specific kind of divan base, and this could be an issue if you have a more unusual bedframe.

The popular Next2me Magic crib is a great choice for those with divan beds, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for The Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It was well-made, with high mesh sides so you can see the baby's face. Our mom testers liked it and gave it a thumbs-up. It also comes with a handy storage shelf for nappies and blankets and is surprisingly light at 10kg.

Another alternative is the SnuzPod4, which comes in a range of colours and our mothers have been extremely pleased with it too. The SnuzPod4 is a slim and sleek design that provides plenty of room for baby to sleep comfortably. Our mothers are also impressed by features, such as the incline option that aid in reflux, as well as a relaxing, rocking mechanism.

Both cribs are available for PS99 or less, which makes them an affordable alternative to a Moses basket if you're looking to save money on an initial purchase. Always remember to adhere to the safe sleep guidelines however, and ensure whether the crib you purchase meets the Lullaby Trust code for safety.
