These should only be used under supervision, and a doctor or health professional should be consulted before trying this position. Many cribs for bed come with an umbrella to protect your baby from noise or light. This can help in calming the baby. Some cribs come with an area for storage underneath that is perfect for storing additional blankets, diapers, and clothing for your child. Many bedside cribs are convertible into toddler beds or standalone cots. bedside cots is a major selling point for many families. The Joie Roomie, winner of the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, is a great example. It comes with removable side panels, a conversion kit, and a tummy tilt that makes it travel-friendly. It has five height adjustments that can be set to your bed. Our MFM home testers praised it for being comfortable and easy to put together. It is also compact. The Graco Play Yard (also known as a pack and play) is another popular choice, and was shortlisted in the 2022 Mother&Baby Awards. Cozy and comfortable You can watch your child from the comfort of your bed with a crib that is placed at your bedside. It's a great option for a new mum recovering from a c-section as you can easily lift baby up to you to feed them or make nappy changes without needing to get out of bed. The most comfortable cribs have mesh sides that are breathable so you can see your newborn through. Some cribs let you lower the barrier completely. This lets you sleep with your baby without any risk. (Make sure that the crib you choose is compliant with the current safety standards). Some allow you to keep the barrier lowered but then raise it after you've lifted baby out, which is better for parents who are afflicted by an apprehension of their child falling off the side of their mattress.

Georgina also found it easy to put together, though she felt the instructions could have been more clear about the zips. Easy to clean Look for cribs with removable mattress covers which can be washed in the machine when looking at bedside cribs or travel cots. This will help keep it clean from spills, nappies, infant sick and dribbles. It is also recommended to choose a model that is easily disassembled so you can clean and disinfect all the nooks. This is crucial, as it will ensure that all germs and dirt have been removed. Also, you should ensure that the crib's sides are securely connected, ensuring there aren't any gaps or spaces where your baby could potentially slide down or become trapped. Aside from being easy to clean, you'll need an infant crib that is comfortable for your child and fits well with your own bed. This is particularly important if you're using a bedside crib to facilitate co-sleeping. They are designed to be attached securely to the side of the bed for parents, allowing parents to easily reach their infant throughout the night to feed or comfort their child while ensuring the safety of separate sleeping areas. Another thing to think about when choosing a crib to sleep on is whether it has any extra features you might consider useful. Some cribs tilt or rock, which is great for babies who are fussy. It is important to make sure that your crib or travel bed is made of a firm, flat mattress that is snugly fitted into the frame. This will decrease the risk of SIDS because your baby's feet and head will not fall into gaps or folds in the bedding. It's also a good idea to buy a new mattress for your cot, crib or travel bed instead of using one that has been passed down from someone else or bought second-hand. Used mattresses are more likely to lose their shape with time and can increase the risk of SIDS. All cribs new to market have to meet BS EN1130 for 2019. This is the latest standard, which introduces stricter requirements to ensure the safety of your sleep and provide effective solutions.

They can also be used as a standalone crib during the daytime. Most have a side panel which can be adjusted to let you be able to see your baby and hold him. Some have the option to keep the panel in place all night, which gives you the closeness and convenience of sleeping with your baby and reduces the dangers of bed-sharing. Some cribs can be transformed into an oversized travel cot. Some cribs have additional features, such as tilting, rocking, or converting into a larger crib for babies. The SnuzPod 4 crib is popular for many reasons, and not just because of its sleek Scandi design. This model comes with six height adjustments and a handy storage shelf. It's also heavier and bulkier than some of the more comfortable cribs that we've tested, but it comes with a convenient bag to keep it clean and dust-free in storage. It's simple to put together with clear instructions and helpful tools to guide you. It's also simple to clean using the possibility of washing it in the machine and breathable fabric.

Jasmin says that this is a fantastic crib since it's “easy to reach your baby during the night for fuss-free feeding, and larger than most Moses baskets, which means it will last longer before my son grows out of it”. She also appreciates how easy it is to clean and how it is sturdy and well-made. It can be positioned on divans, making it a great choice for those who have little space.
