What is a bedside crib?
A bedside crib, also referred as a bassinet or a co-sleeper, is a small crib for babies that is attached to your adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep next to you in peace. It is a safe method of co-sleeping that doesn't increase your risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It also helps you bond with the newborn baby.
The cots come with one side that can be adjusted to allow you to reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is particularly useful for mothers who are recovering from a c section. Many are portable or foldable making them suitable for trips and as an interim solution for infants who aren't ready to be able to transition to a larger crib.
Choose a crib that has an air-conditioned mattress, as well as a protective cover that will keep your baby bedside sleeper safe from stains. You'll also want to pick up some baby-safe add-ons such as a blanket and cuddly toy.
If you are looking for a longer-term solution cribs are available with conversion kits that let you transform them into a toddler bed or cot when the time is appropriate. This can extend their lifespan and make the transition smoother. Some have a removable section at the top that can be transformed into the bassinet. Other models can be used in conjunction with a regular adult bed or a high-rise model. This is a good choice for families who plan on frequently traveling or transferring between bedrooms during the night. You should also consider the size of your bedroom to ensure you can fit the crib comfortably. A lot of cribs have an adjustable riser that can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.

The co-sleeper was created to enable parents to bond and sleep side by side with their babies, without sharing one bed.

The crib can be locked into place once the rocking is completed to stop it from moving and can be secured to the bed's side using clips and straps. This makes it very stable and secure allowing you to enjoy a great night's sleep without having to worry about your child rolling off into the middle of the room. The rounded shape of the cocoon features soft padded side panels and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.

Anna discovered that the CoZee could be a safe and comfortable sleeping space for her infant. It was a pleasure to not move like other models so she didn't wake up in the night trying to comfort her child during feedings. She also loved that the side of the chair could be lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner in order to lift the child out to feed them at night.
The CoZee is available in oak or charcoal and is a fashionable option for any bedroom. It looks more designer than other cribs we've seen that are usually utilitarian. It's also quite light at just 11kg, and comes with a carrying case so you can take it on vacation or if moving home.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the cheap bedside cot that allows parents to feel more connected to their infant as they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and moved to three different slide positions to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner to ensure that the infant is always within reach. The breathable mesh siding allows air to circulate through and gives you a quick glance at your little one. And you can store extra pajamas and supplies in the large storage basket underneath.
Unlike some other smaller bedside cot crib crib options, the Iora can be folded flat and comes with a carry-on bag which allows it to be taken wherever. It was easy to move around from room to room and our mum testers believed it was the right size for a bedside cots for newborns crib. They also loved the large storage basket, that is ideal for storing spare bedding or nappies.
This is a great choice for parents who want to sleep in a co-sleeping bed but don't want to share their bed. Or if one of the parents has mobility issues like back pain or arthritis. Our mums who tested it were thrilled to be able to easily access their baby while in the Iora and that it had an adjustable reflux incline that helped reduce gas.
Our moms are also thrilled that it complies with NICE guidelines that state to put the baby in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets pillows, etc.). They also say that the mattress is comfortable and firm for babies and is easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as some of the cribs that are smaller on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier for you to move, you can choose another option.
