What is a bedside crib?
A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a small baby crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your newborn to sleep safely next to you. It is a safe method of co-sleeping, which doesn't increase your risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It can also help you bond with the new baby.
These cots have a side which can be adjusted so that you can reach your baby easily at night to comfort and feed them. This is particularly helpful for mums recovering from an op. Some are also mobile or foldable, which means you can take them on trips and use them as a temporary sleeping solution for newborns who aren't quite ready to move to a larger cot.
Look for a crib with an air-conditioned mattress, as well as a protective cover that will protect your baby from stains. You might also want to purchase some baby-safe accessories like the blanket or teether.
If you're looking for a more long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a toddler bed or cot at the time that is appropriate. This is a great option for extending their life and making the transition smoother. Some even have a removable top section that converts into an infant bed, and some can be used on the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is an excellent choice for families that intend to frequently travel bedside crib or switch between bedrooms in the evening. Take into consideration the size of your bedroom to ensure that you be able to fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with risers that can be used to create an incline for babies who have reflux.

They are known for their high-end baby products English brand Joie has entered the world of cribs for bedside rocking crib use with the Roomie Glide. The co-sleeper was created to help parents bond and sleep side-by-side with their babies without sharing the same bed. It's loaded with features that make bonding between parents and baby safe, simple, and fun.
One of the key features is a smooth rocking motion that can be activated at the press of an button. This will help soothe your baby to sleep by a gentle rhythm that doesn't disrupt their normal sleeping routine. This is ideal for toddlers and older babies who are struggling to settle. It can aid in digestion problems such as colic and reflux.
The crib can be locked into it once the rocking is finished to stop it from moving. It can be secured to the side of your bed by clips and straps. This makes the crib very stable and secure and allows you to sleep comfortably without fearing that your child will slide off into the middle. The rounded cocoon shape comes with soft padded sides and double mesh windows on both ends to allow for plenty of airflow while keeping your baby secure.
The mattress is soft and comfortable and has a removable cover. The crib is simple to set up and disassemble thanks to a lightweight aluminium frame that makes it very mobile. The four locking wheels are covered in rubber to ensure the crib won't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. It is easy to clean using cloths that wipe clean and is easy to put in a travel cot bedside crib bag making it perfect for long-term absences from home.

The premium airflow mattresses offer a comfortable sleeping surface, while the ventilation panels keep your baby cool.

Plus, it has an upper bar that is easily lowered for feeding at night without having to search for zips in the dark.
Anna found that the CoZee was a comfortable and safe place to sleep for her baby. It was a pleasure to not move like other models, so she wasn't disturbed at night while trying to soothe her child for feedings. She also loved that the side of the chair lowered so she didn't need to reach over her partner to lift the child out for nighttime feedings.
The CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a chic accessory to any bedroom. It looks more designer than other cribs we've tried that are usually utilitarian. It is also relatively light at 11kg, and comes with a carry case, so you can take it with you on vacation or even when you move house. You'll need a waterproof sheet and a safety strap for sleeping together. The instructions and pictures are simple to follow once you open the box.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside that helps parents feel closer to their child while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down, and moved through three different slide positions, to be placed 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 flow through and allows you to glance at your child. You can also store more pajamas and other supplies in the large storage basket beneath.
In contrast to other bedside crib options The Iora can be folded flat and comes with a carry-on bag so that it can be taken anywhere. It was easy to move around from room to space, and our mum testers believed it was the right size for a bedside crib. They also liked the large storage basket that is ideal for storing nappies or bedding.
This is a great option for parents who want to co sleeper bedside cot-sleep but do not want to share their own beds or whose partner may have mobility issues, like arthritis or back issues. Our mums who tested it loved the ease with which they could access their baby while in the Iora and that it came with an optional reflux incline that helped alleviate gas.
Our moms appreciate the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines, which are to place the baby in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys pillows, etc.). They also claim that the mattress is comfortable and firm for the baby and easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as other cribs that are smaller on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier for you to move, choose another option.
