Anna found the CoZee to be a safe, comfortable place to sleep for her baby. She loved that it didn't sway like some other models, so it didn't wake her in the night when she was trying to soothe her baby for feeds. She also loved the fact that the side could be lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to carry the baby out to feed her at night.
The CoZee is available in charcoal or oak and is a chic option for any bedroom. It's more a designer piece than some of the other cribs we've tested, which can appear rather utilitarian. It's also quite light at just 11kg. It also comes with a carry-on case so you can bring it with you on vacation or when you are moving home. You'll need a waterproof sheet and a safety strap to sleep with your partner. There are helpful step-by-step instructions and photos to help you put it together when you first open the box and making it a one-person task if needed.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bedside bassinet that helps parents feel connected to their child while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down and moved to three different slide positions to fit beside the bed of the parent or in the corner, so the baby is always at hand. The mesh siding allows air to flow through, and allows you to see your baby quickly. You can also keep any extra pajamas or items in the large bedside cot basket beneath.
Unlike some other smaller bedside crib options Iora is a standout among other bedside cribs. Iora folds flat and comes with a travel cot bedside bag so that it can be taken anywhere. Our mom testers were able to move it from room to room and believed that it was a good size for a small bedside cot (a cool way to improve), and not too big or small. They also loved the large storage basket, which is ideal for stowing nappies or bedding.
This is an excellent choice for parents who are looking to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but do not wish to share their beds, or whose partners might be suffering from mobility issues, such as back problems or arthritis. Our mum testers loved the ease with which they could access their child while in the Iora and that it had an optional reflux incline that helped reduce gas.
Our moms also love the fact that it meets NICE guidelines which state that you should place 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 the other cribs for bedside use, though, so if you want something lighter and more portable, look at other options on our list.
