Safety
A bedside crib crib is a unique crib that connects seamlessly with the parents’ beds to give parents with a convenient method to take care of their infant at night. The crib lets parents easily reach their baby to comfort or feed them without having to leave the bed. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who are new and may be suffering from sleep deprivation in the beginning of their pregnancy. It promotes healthy growth in the infant by providing a safe and comfortable environment.
A quality bedside crib will have a solid connections and an anti-slip design for the foot of the bed which reduces the chance of accidents that could cause injury to your baby. They also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is secure and safe while they sleep. You should also ensure the mattress that comes with your crib is firm instead of soft, and look for any gaps which could increase your baby’s risk of suffocation or entrapment.
Also, you should avoid using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers in your baby’s crib unless they’re designed specifically for use in conjunction with a cot or a crib, as they can pose an immediate danger and not meet safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any toy your baby plays with in the crib is securely attached and does not protrude out too far.
Ask other parents for suggestions when you’re not sure about a piece of equipment. Also, search for products that are modern and meet current safety standards, not those that have been handed down or second-hand. Examine the crib for any damage before buying it.
A bassinet is an alternative. It’s like a crib but is usually fixed to your bed. It doesn’t have legs. They are great for babies and are especially great if you’re recovering from a C section, as they’re a perfect way to keep your baby close and by your side at all times.

One of our mom testers, Gulhan Arapoglu, said it’s a good size and robust and easy to move around from room to room.

Firm mattresses are one of the most important things to look for when selecting a crib. This helps reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) since soft mattresses increase the chance of the suffocation. A firm mattress can be more beneficial for your baby’s wellbeing, as it is more comfortable and promotes healthy spinal development.

Style
A bedside crib is a baby bassinet that is attached to the bed’s side. They’re great for keeping your newborn close to you, so you can easily reach them for night feedings or to soothe them to sleep during nap time. These are also great for mums who have had csections and struggle to get up in the middle of the night to take care of their infant.
There’s a broad range of different styles to choose from, but some features you should be looking for are:
Can it be cleaned with a machine or do you need a hand-washable mattress cover? What size is the bed and can you lower or raise it to make it more suitable? How much does it weigh and is it easy to move around your home, particularly if you plan to use it in more than one room at one time?
Jasmine, a mum tester, loved the crib’s swivelling feature. This made it easier for her to reach in and out of it to take her baby. She also liked its size, saying it’s not as large as a traditional crib, but is bigger than the standard Moses baskets and is comfortable for baby bedside crib. It’s also easy to build and it folds flat, making it easy to carry. It was somewhat heavy for some moms who were carrying it around, which could be a problem for those who have mobility problems.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option to look into. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. The crib differs from others in that it doesn’t include a drop-down panel however it does have an adjustable side that you can lower so that you can reach your baby. It’s not as compact when dismantled as other cribs for bed however, it’s still lightweight and comes with a bag for easy storage.
Some cribs can be converted into a cot or toddler using an expansion kit. This is a great feature for families looking to extend the lifespan of their baby’s sleeping space far beyond the infant stage, but it’s not always necessary.
Budget
The best cribs for bedside use are those that sit near your bed, to let you watch your baby, change diapers at night, and feed your baby without having to get up from your bed. They’ll typically have sides that fold or zip down easily, so you can reach up in the dark to scoop them up, and they should also be breathable to ensure comfort. Most will come with beds, which are ideal as you don’t want it too hard or clumpy.
The price of more complex models will likely be more expensive. Finally, consider whether the crib is designed to fit your own bed or not. Some cribs are only compatible with a particular type of divan base, which can be a problem if have a more unusual bedframe.
The Next2me Magic crib which is popular with those who have a divan, is a great choice for those who already own one. It was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the category of Best Cot or Crib, or Moses Basket. Our mums who have tested it have given it the thumbs up, saying it’s well-constructed with mesh sides that allow you to see the baby’s face through. It comes with a shelf to store blankets or nappies and weighs only 10kg.
SnuzPod4 is another option. It comes in many colors, and our mothers love it. They love the fact that it’s slim and sleek, yet it offers ample space for babies to sleep comfortably, and they are enthralled by the extra features, such as the ability to tilt to aid in reflux and an energizing rocking mechanism.
Both of these cribs are sold for PS99 or less which makes them more affordable than a Moses basket for those trying to save money on your initial investment. Always follow the safe sleeping guidelines and make sure the crib you select is secure.
