Is a Bedside Crib Co Sleeper Right For Your Baby?

A bedside crib co sleeper is a great option if you want your baby close by for fuss-free nighttime feeding. They're a safe alternative to traditional Moses baskets, and are in line with the guidelines for safe sleep issued by the Lullaby Trust and NHS.

Home test subjects love that the crib can rotate 360 degrees for easy access and has an adjustable mattress height to match your bed. Additionally, it folds easily and comes with a travel bag for trips away from home.

Safety

Bedside cribs are a great option to keep baby close by during the night without risking overheating or suffocating. They attach to your bed so that you can reach out and help or feed your child during the middle of night. They are also ideal for mothers recovering from having a c-section. However, there's a lot to consider before you invest in one.

When shopping for a crib that is bedside, make sure you're choosing one that meets current safety standards. A lot of cribs older than that have been recalled due to the fact that they permit children to fall in gaps between the mattress and the sides of the crib or they can pose a danger of strangulation and entrapment. Check that the crib you choose is in compliance with the new BS EN1130 safety standard, which will be in place in November 2020.

The new rules forbid bedside sleeper cot cribs from having sides that completely fall down. Most models have 'half height walls that allow your child to sleep next to your bed, but provide a more protective barrier because they sink a little beneath the mattress. All of the models on our list conform to these new requirements, including the Graco Pack 'n Play on the Go and the Chicco Lullago that were both shortlisted in the Mother&Baby Awards 2017.

It's also worth checking that the crib you're considering purchasing is able to attach securely to your bed and is anchored correctly. This is especially crucial if you plan to use the crib with a sidecar sleeping system like the Graco Pack 'n Play On The Go or the Graco BassiNest Premiere which were both shortlisted for the Mother&Baby Awards.

It's also important to keep in mind that a crib is intended for sleeping and should never be used in conjunction with bedding or other accessories, like blankets, pillows, toys, or animals that are stuffed. The official safe sleep guidelines from The Lullaby Trust and the AAP is that infants should only sleep in their own sleeping space in their crib or cot and not on an adult bed or any other type of mattress or soft furnishings.

Comfort

A crib for your bed allows you to keep your baby close throughout the night, without the danger of bed-sharing which can increase the risk of SIDS. You can also reach over to soothe your baby without getting out of bed at the middle of the night. It's a safe and comfortable alternative to the Moses basket or infant bassinet for your newborn bedside cot and babies as young as 6 months old.

The most effective models come with slats that are wide and open enough to allow air flow. You can also move the door or window as you need. It's easy to change your baby's diaper and nurse them or examine them at night. Some models also come with a swaddle sack to help you sleep in a safe routine.

You want a mattress that is light and compact when folded, so it's easy to move around the house or transport to your destination. The mattress cover should be able to be removed and washable, making it simple to clean. The pocket at the other end can be used to store spare diapers and baby clothes.

Some cribs with a bed come with a mattress and others you need to purchase separately. Be sure the mattress is flat, firm and airy. Avoid second-hand mattresses since they can increase the risk of SIDS.

Find a crib that can be adjusted to the bed's height. A bedside crib that is adjustable in height can be extremely beneficial to you, especially when you recovering from a C Section.

Some models include useful extras, like an adjustable tummy tilt to prevent reflux, or a detachable moses bin that can later be used as a toddler playpen. Other extras to consider are whether the crib rocks, folds down to lie flat for storage or comes with a bag for travel. Look at the cost and find out what bedding is included in the crib. It is usually necessary to purchase separate sheets for your child's bedside cot.

Style

bedside travel crib cribs are a fantastic alternative for mothers who are just starting out. They allow them to keep an eye on their baby during the night and during diaper changes without having to get out of their bed. They are also useful for helping babies recover from a C-section or other medical condition such as colic or reflux.

The ideal crib for your bed is contingent on your lifestyle and requirements. Aside from the obvious safety features, consider whether you'd like to be able to get your child from the crib to feed them or calm them and if it comes with any extras such as the ability to rock. Also, consider the dimensions and the height of your bed and make sure that the crib you pick will be able to fit comfortably.

Bedside cribs are typically more affordable than Moses baskets, but don't be fooled they're packed with amazing features, including the breathable mesh and clear sides, as well as reflux incline options and adjustable height. The Tutti Bambini CoZee is our favorite, since it combines both style and practicality into the perfect co-sleeper. It's available in three different colors with stylish oak legs to fit into any bedroom. It's also simple to put together and fold, and comes with a handy carry bag for trips to the grandparents.

Some cribs have side panels that lower down to let you hold your baby during the day and for a safer co-sleeping environment however, they pop up again at the night. The Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper, for instance, has this feature, although one of our MFM home test participants found it difficult to operate initially.

The bedding you choose to use in a bedside crib must fit properly and should not leave any gaps that could be used as suffocation hazards. That's why many cribs come with mattresses that are fitted, but sheets that are suitable for use at most stores. It's a good idea to avoid second-hand mattresses as they are prone to wear and deteriorate over time, posing a risk of increasing the risk of SIDS.

Bedside cribs are also lighter and more portable than Moses baskets. This makes them more convenient to move from room rooms, or to take when you go on vacation. The best bedside cribs are small enough to fit into bags so that you can easily transport them on short trips.

Convenience

Bedside cribs allow you to see your baby without having to worry about them rolling off the bed or suffocating. It's important to keep in mind that the Lullaby Trust, NHS and other sleep guidelines that are official recommend you only co-sleep your baby with them for the first 6 months with an additional mattress in the same room to reduce the risk of SIDS.

The model you pick, the foldable bedside crib crib may come with features that make it more practical. For instance one of the top-rated models we tested in our MFM home tests is swivels and adjusts height so it's easy to reach into the crib and pick up your child. The model comes with a sidewall that slopes down. One MFM home tester said that this gave her 'easy access" to comfort their child.

Certain models include extra features such as a rocking feature (great for babies with a lot of fuss), or incline settings that help with reflux. These are helpful in the event that your child suffers from an illness that causes reflux, but your baby should be sleeping on an even, firm mattress to avoid suffocation or overheating.

Think about how easy it is to clean the model. Make sure the fabric can be machine washed and if it has a mattress protector that is waterproof, which will protect from leaky nappies, baby sick or dribbles. Some cribs come with a fitted sheet that makes it easier to wash and change.

Other features to consider include the ease with which it can put together and how compact it is when folded away. Be sure to check if the bed is simple to attach and if there's bags included to travel with. Also, think about if it comes with extras such as a tummy tilt or the option of turning it into moses baskets for older babies - this can be useful for travelling.
