Style

A bedside crib is a baby bassinet that can be attached to the sides of your bed. They're ideal to keep your newborn close to you, so you can easily reach them for evening feedings or help them go back to sleep during nap time. They're also great for mums who have had c-sections but are unable to get up in the middle of the night to take care of their baby.

There are a wide variety of styles to pick from, but some characteristics that you may want to look for are:

How easy is it to keep clean - can it be cleaned by hand or is an easy-to-clean mattress cover required? How big is the mattress and can it be lowered or raised lower to fit your bed? It is easy to move and how heavy is it?

Jasmine who was a mom tester, liked that the crib rotates. This made it easier for her to reach in and out of it to pick up her baby. She also liked the size, saying that it is not as big as a traditional crib however it is bigger than standard Moses baskets. It's also a comfortable fit for her infant. It's also simple to build and it folds flat, making it easy to transport. Some moms complained that it was somewhat heavy, however, and this may be an issue for those who have mobility issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora is another option to think about. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot or Crib. It's different from other bedside cribs in that it doesn't have a drop-down panel but rather an adjustable side that can be lowered to allow baby to get closer. It's not as compact as other cribs for bed however, it's still portable and comes with a bag for easy storage.

Some cribs can be transformed to a toddler cot or a cot with the help of an expansion kit. This can be a beneficial feature for families who are planning to extend the life of their baby's sleep space long past the newborn stage, but isn't always required.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use will sit right by your bed, which means you can watch your baby and tend to night feeds and nappy changes without needing to get out of bed. They'll typically have sides that fold or zip down easily to allow you to reach over in the dark to grab them, and they should also be breathable for comfort. Most will come with a mattress, which is important because you want it to be a bit firm and flat rather than soft or lumpy.

The cost of the more complicated models will be more expensive. Finally, consider whether the crib is designed to be a perfect fit for your bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a specific kind of divan base, which could be a problem if have a more unusual bedframe.

It's well-constructed with high-quality mesh sides that let you see the baby's face. Our mum testers liked it and gave it a thumbs-up. It also comes with a useful storage shelf to store nappies and blankets and is light at 10kg.

SnuzPod4 is another option. It comes in a variety of colors, and our mothers enjoy it. The SnuzPod4 is a slim, sleek design that provides plenty of room for baby to relax comfortably. Our mums also love the features such as incline options that aid in reflux, as well as a soothing rocking mechanism.
