Anna discovered that the CoZee was a safe and comfortable sleeping space for her infant. She was pleased that it didn't move like other models so she didn't wake up in the night trying to soothe her baby to feed. She also loved that the sides of the chair was lowered so she didn't need to reach over her partner to lift the child out to feed her at night.

The CoZee is available in charcoal or oak and is a fashionable option for any bedroom. It looks more like a designer piece than some of the other cribs that we've tested, which can appear rather utilitarian. It is also relatively lightweight at just 11kg and comes with a carry case so you can bring it on holiday or even when you move house. You only need to purchase an waterproof sheet and a safety strap to sleep with your partner. There are helpful step-by-step instructions and pictures to guide you through the process as you open the box, making it a single-person job if needed.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora

The Iora is an infant bassinet designed to help parents feel closer to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted upwards and downwards and shifted through three different slide positions, to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner so the baby is always at hand. The mesh siding lets air flow through, and allows you to quickly see your baby. And you can stow extra pajamas and supplies in the large storage basket beneath.

The Iora is a smaller bedside crib that folds flat. It also comes with a travel bag which allows it to be taken anywhere. It was easy to move around from room to space, and our mum testers felt it was the right size for a bedside crib. They also loved the large storage basket that is ideal for storing spare bedding or nappies.

This is a great option for parents who want to sleep together but don't want to share their bed. Or if one of the partners has mobility issues, such as arthritis or back pain. Our mums who tested it loved the ease with which they could access their baby while in the Iora and that it included an adjustable reflux incline that helped alleviate gas.

Our moms are also thrilled that it meets NICE guidelines that state to put the infant in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys, pillows, etc). They also say that the mattress is firm and comfortable for the baby and easy to find sheets for. It isn't as light as other smaller bedside crib to cot cribs, though, so if you want something lighter and easier to move around with, consider one of the other options on our list.
