What is a bedside crib?
A bedside crib, also known as a bassinet or a co-sleeper, is a small baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your child to sleep right next to you in a safe environment. This is a form of co-sleeping that is safe and doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you build a bond with your baby's new arrival.
The cots come with an end that can be lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily at night to comfort and feed them. This is particularly useful for mothers who are recovering from a csection. Many are also foldable or portable, so you can bring them along on trips and use them as a temporary sleep option for babies who aren't quite ready to move to a full-sized cot.
Find a crib that has an air-conditioned mattress, as well as an appropriate cover to shield your baby from staining. You might also want to purchase baby-safe items such as an infant blanket or a teether.
If you are seeking a long-term solution, some cribs come with conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a toddler bed or a cot when the time is right. This will extend their life and make the transition easier. Some even have a detachable top section that converts into an infant bed, and some can be used as the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families that plan on traveling frequently or transferring between bedrooms at night. You should also think about how big your bedroom is to ensure you can fit the crib in comfortably. A lot of cribs have an riser that can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide
Famous for their high-end baby products English brand Joie has entered the world of bedside cribs with the Roomie Glide. The Co Sleeper Bedside Cot-sleeper was created to allow parents to bond and sleep side-by-side with their children without sharing the same bed. It is full of features that make bonding between parents and baby safe, simple, and fun.
A smooth, steady rocking motion could be initiated by pressing the button. This gentle rhythm can help soothe your baby to sleep without disturbing their natural sleeping patterns. This is ideal for toddlers and older babies who are struggling to settle. It can aid in digestive issues like colic and reflux.
The crib can be locked into place once the rocking is finished to stop it from moving and can also be secured on the side of your bed with clips and straps. This makes it stable and secure, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful night's rest without worrying about your little one sliding off into the middle of the room. The cocoon's rounded shape is complemented by softly padding on the sides and double mesh windows at both ends. This allows for airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.
The mattress comes with a comfortable and firm and has a removable cover. The lightweight aluminium frame makes the crib extremely mobile and easy to put together. The four rubber-covered wheels lockable ensure that the crib will not leave marks on your flooring and are easy to move. It is easy to clean using cloths that wipe clean and is simple to tote in a backpack, making it ideal for extended absences from home.
The TuttiBambini CoZee Air
It is designed to be a secure next-to-me crib from birth to six months old, this premium model features rocking bars and castors to allow for ease of movement. The airflow mattresses are deluxe and provide a comfy sleeping surface, while the ventilation panels keep your baby cool. There are six different height settings as well as an incline option to aid in reducing reflux and congestion.
Contrary to some cribs that are placed on the bed which can be a challenge to clean due to their endless stream of snot and dribble, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air has a wipe-clean liner and fabric that can be removed for machine-washing. It also has an upper bar that can be easily adjusted to accommodate nighttime feedings without having to mess with zips.
Anna discovered that the CoZee was a comfortable and safe sleeping space for her infant. She liked that it didn't move like other models so she wasn't woken up in the night trying to soothe her baby to feed. She also liked that the side was lowered so she didn't have to reach out over her partner to lift the baby for night time feeds.
The CoZee is available in oak and charcoal and is a chic addition to the bedroom. It's more of an elegant piece of furniture than some of the other cribs we've tested, and can look quite utilitarian in comparison. It is also relatively light at just 11kg. It also comes with a carry-on case so you can bring it on holiday or even when you move house. It's all you need to buy is a waterproof sheet and a safety strap for sleeping together. The instructions and illustrations are easy to follow when you first open the box.
The Maxi-Cosi lora
The Iora is a bassinet for the bed that helps parents feel connected to their infant as they sleep. It adjusts upwards and downwards and moves through three slide positions to be placed next to the parent's bed, or in the corner of the room, so that the baby is always close to the parent's side. The mesh siding allows air to flow through and allows you to quickly see your baby. You can also store more pajamas and other supplies in the large storage basket beneath.
Unlike some other smaller bedside cribs Iora is a standout among other bedside crib travel cribs. Iora can be folded flat and comes with a bag for travel which allows it to be taken wherever. It was easy to move from room to room, and our mum testers felt it was the perfect size for a bedside cot newborn crib. They also appreciated the large storage basket, that is ideal for storing spare bedding or nappies.
This is a great option for parents who wish to sleep together but don't want to share their bed. If one of the partners suffers from mobility issues such as back pain or arthritis. Our mom testers love the ease with which they can access their baby in the Iora, and that it has an adjustable reflux incline that can help alleviate gas.
Our moms also love the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines which state that you should place the infant in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets, pillows, etc). The mattress is also a good firm and comfortable for babies and sheets are readily available. It isn't as light as the other cribs for bedside use, though, so if you want something lighter and more portable, think about one of the other options in our list.
