Safety

bedside co sleeper cribs let you keep your baby close during the night without risk of suffocation.

If you are searching for an appropriate crib to be placed next to your bed, be sure that the crib you select is safe and meets the current standards for safety. A lot of cribs older than that have been recalled because they allow babies to slide through gaps between the mattress and the sides of the crib or they can pose a danger of strangulation and entrapment. Check that the crib you choose is in compliance with the new BS EN1130 safety standard, which is scheduled to be in place in November 2020.

The new rules prohibit cribs that are used for bedside use from having sides that completely fall down. The majority of models have 'half-height' walls, which still allow your child to lie beside your bed, but also offer a more secure protection because they sink a little beneath your mattress. All of our models meet the new requirements. This includes the Graco Pack 'n Play On The Go and the Chicco Lullago which were both shortlisted for the Mother&Baby Award 2017

Verify that the crib is securely affixed to your bed and that it is properly secured.

It is important to keep in mind that a crib is only intended for sleep and should not be used with bedding or other items like pillows, blankets, toys or stuffed animals.

Style

The best crib for you depends on your needs and your lifestyle. In addition to the obvious safety features, consider whether you want to be capable of lifting your baby out of the crib to feed them or soothe them, and if it has any additional features, such as a rocking function. Also, look at the dimensions and the height of your bed, and make sure that the crib you pick will be able to fit comfortably.

Bedside cribs are less expensive than Moses Baskets, however they do have some excellent features, including breathable mesh and see through sides, reflux incline option and an adjustable height.

Any bedding you use in a bedside crib must be fitted properly and must not leave any gaps that could be used as suffocation hazards.

Convenience

Bedside cribs allow you to see your baby without having to worry about them rolling off the bed or suffocating.

Based on the model you select, bedside cribs could feature features that increase their convenience. One of the best cribs in our MFM home test can swivel and can be adjusted in the height to make it easier to reach and pick your child up.

Certain models include extra features like a rocking feature (great for fussy babies) or incline settings that help with reflux. These are beneficial if your child has a condition that causes reflux, but your newborn should be sleeping on a firm, flat mattress to avoid suffocation and overheating.

When choosing a model be aware of how easy it is to keep clean. Find out if the fabric can be machine washed and if there's a mattress protector with waterproof properties, which will protect from leaky nappies, baby sick or spills. Some bedside cribs come with an upholstered sheet, which allows you to wash and change it.

Other factors to consider include the ease with which it can assemble and how compact it is when folded away. Check if the bed is easy to attach and if there's an included bag to carry it on the road. Check if the product comes with additional features, such as a tummy tilt or the possibility of converting it into a Moses basket for older children. This can be useful when traveling.
