Bedside Cot Reviews

A bedside co sleeper crib (also known as a bassinet) is located next to your bed, to allow you to be able to tend to your baby during feedings at night and diaper changes without getting out of bed. They also help in building independence as your little one becomes more confident in their own bed.

The Joie Roomie Glide

The Joie Roomie Glide crib is an ideal bedside travel cot crib that allows parents to stay with their baby while ensuring they are sleeping safely. Its smooth gliding motion is able to soothe your baby to sleep, and its ingenuous features ensure that you can keep an eye on them without leaving your bed.

The cot's side panel sliding raises and lowers at the push of an button, making it a breeze to reach inside and soothe a crying baby at night. It also comes with 11 height adjustments that let it fit on the mattress of almost any size bed. It also includes adjustable folding feet to ensure it is at the right level.

In terms of safety, the cot is padded and comes with mesh sides for better airflow, and the mattress is made of high-density foam for additional protection. It's also washable so you can keep it clean. Additionally, it comes with a fitted sheet that's suitable for the cot.

The Roomie Glide, unlike some other bedside cots cribs is compatible with most beds including divans. This is thanks to the clips and straps that attach to it. It can also be used as a stand-alone crib when not attached to the bed. It's packed with amazing features that are specifically designed with the bonding between parents and babies in mind.

One thing to bear in mind is that while this crib is perfect for infants, it will not last long once your baby turns six months old, and you will have to purchase larger cots. Overall, Roanna thought that the Joie Roomie Glide crib was a great buy. She liked its sleek design.

John Lewis sells the Roomie Glide for PS160. Roanna thought this was a fair price for such an item. She liked the way it looked in her bedroom and believed its grey color would fit most modern homes. However, she did point that it's not a great idea to rock a smaller baby, as it can create the stage for bad habits that will affect later sleep patterns.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee

The Tutti Bambini CoZee is an award-winning bedside rocking crib crib that was designed to ensure a peaceful night's sleep in mind. It features a drop side rail that can be easily lowered for nighttime feeds without having to disturb your little one or get them out of bed - it's ideal for breastfeeding mothers! It is also lightweight and easy to move around during naps or when traveling.

We love the fact that it's made of soft materials that have mesh sides that are breathable, which promote airflow and comfort. It's available in charcoal and oak and comes with a variety of melange fabric options that work well with a variety of decor styles. Anna found it sturdy and secure when attached to her bed with the legs securely clicking into the bed and the zips secured for baby-safety. It took Anna around 10 minutes to put together and didn't require any tools. There are clear instructions as well as a video, and a customer support number if you experience any issues.

The CoZee crib has all the features you would expect from a crib to your bed, including the ability to connect it to your existing bed using a stay-in-place connection system. It also comes with six height settings. Additionally it has an inclines feature that can be used to help infants suffering from reflux or congestion. It's also machine washable, a necessity with all the dribble and vomit that come with having a baby!

If you want to keep your baby close to you during the first six months of their life when they're beginning to learn to sleep independently and independently, the CoZee is a great option as it can also be used as a standalone crib, changing table and toddler bed. With the addition of a sofa-bed extension pack, it can be converted into an cot. While it won't magically put your baby to sleep or feed them, it will rock the baby and take them to school.

The Chicco Next2Me Magic

This is one of Chicco's more expensive alternatives. However, it has a lot of amazing features. It can be used as either a side-sleeper or a standalone crib that is suitable for infants ranging from birth to six months. It's easy to open and close the side panel with the new mechanism. It is also more adjustable than the previous model, with 11 different height settings as well as legs that retract to fit underneath any bed.

Our testers loved the ease of access to the side panel that can be lowered and raised with just one push of one button. This was especially helpful at night, as they could reach inside and pick up their baby without disturbing them.

The side panel can be lowered by itself, but it's not recommended as this increases the risk of your baby falling out of the cot. However, the safety locking mechanism means that it will only remain in place if it is connected to the parent's bed correctly. This is a great feature to have for peace of mind, particularly when you're breastfeeding and need frequent feedings at night.

Telescopic legs permit the Chicco Next2Me Magic to be used with any bed, including divan bases or beds with drawers. It features a tilting feature to help reflux babies, and a rocking function to help soothe them to sleep after eating. It's also extremely spacious and provides excellent ventilation thanks to its mesh sides.

The Next2Me Magic was easy to use and set up for our test subjects despite the lengthy instruction manual. It's a bit heavier than other side-sleepers, but it can still be easily moved from one place to another. It's small enough to be able to fit into a travel bag when not in use, which is a plus when you have to transport it. The only issue our testers found was that the side panel didn't flex like some of the other models, which made it difficult to observe your child from your own bed.

The Shnuggle Air

The Shnuggle Air bedside crib is an excellent choice when you're looking for a crib that grows with your child. It's a sleeper crib that attaches securely to your bed and can be turned into a stylish cot when your baby is old enough. Ideal for feeding at night and enhancing the bond between you and your baby's new.

The Shnuggle Air crib is designed to breathe, not like other cribs. Its dual-view mesh side panels and the airflow mattress, which is hypoallergenic and breathable maximize airflow to keep your baby cool and comfortable. A gentle incline can help to ease reflux and colic, while the zip down side makes it easy to feed or soothe your baby throughout the night.

The kit for conversion to cot (sold separately) is also well-designed, with clear instructions and everything you need to start. It took us an hour to complete and was surprisingly simple. The only issue with the instructions was that certain pictures did not have captions. This made it difficult for us to follow the instructions. However, it was an easy procedure and the quality of materials used was high.

In the co-sleeping mode, we discovered the Shnuggle Air to be an excellent option for breastfeeding mothers and women who have had a C-section as it allows them to easily reach out to their infant for comfort and feeding without having to leave their bed. It's a great option for parents who do not want to go through the stress of putting their child in a traditional cot, or getting out of it.

The motion of gliding was found to be very helpful in lulling babies to sleep after feedings at midday or night. The drop-down side can also be accessible to feed or soothe babies during the middle of the night this was a huge selling point for our exhausted test mothers. The Joie Roomie Glide is a sleek and functional crib that doesn't rock, or have extra features such as an audio system.
