Bedside Crib and Travel Cot Bedside cribs look similar to a bassinet and are connected to the side of the bed. They usually have a single side that can be lowered down for easy reach and some come with an incline option that is ideal for reflux babies.

Most models have built-in rocking functions. This can be extremely comforting for your baby and help them fall asleep.

Our MFM home testers praised the Joie Roomie Go for being comfortable and easy to put together. It is also compact. The Graco Play Yard, also known as a Play and Pack Play is a different popular choice. It was nominated for the 2022 Mother&Baby Award. Cosy and cozy You can watch your child from the peace of your bed by using the bedside crib. It's a great choice for mothers who are recovering from a C-section since you can easily lift your infant towards you to feed their needs at night or change their nappies without getting out of your bed.

Georgina found it easy to assemble too, although she did feel the zips could have been more clearly explained on the instruction manual. Easy to clean When you're looking at travel cots and bedside cribs make sure they come with a mattress cover that is machine-washable. That will help you keep it clean from spills, nappies, infant sick and drips. It's important to choose one that is able to be disassembled and dismantled in parts, so you can get into all the nooks and crannies to conduct an efficient cleaning and sanitising. This is crucial, as it will ensure that all dirt and germs have been cleared away. Make sure that the sides of the crib are securely attached to ensure that your baby doesn't fall off or be trapped. Apart from being easy to clean, you'll need a crib for your bed that is a comfortable place for your baby and will fit comfortably into your bed. This is especially important when you're using a bedside crib that sleeps with your child. These are designed to attach securely to the side of the bed for parents which allows parents to easily access their infant throughout the night to feed or comfort their child while ensuring the safety of separate sleeping areas. When selecting co sleeper bedside cot for your bedside take into consideration whether it has additional features that might be useful to you. For example, some have the ability to rock (useful for fussy sleepers) or tilt – but be aware that you should only use this feature with care as it could be risky if your child gets out of the crib. You'll want to make sure that your crib or travel bed has a firm, flat mattress that fits snugly into the frame. This will decrease the chance of SIDS by ensuring that your baby's feet and head do not slide into gaps or folds in the bedding. It's also a good idea to buy a new mattress for your crib or travel cot, rather than using one given to you by another person or bought second-hand. Used mattresses are more prone to lose their shape over time, increasing the risk for SIDS. All cribs that are new should be compliant with BS EN 1130:2019, the latest standard that imposes stricter requirements for secure and efficient sleep solutions.

They can also be used as a separate crib during the day. The majority of cribs feature a side panel which can be adjusted to lower, so that you can see and touch your baby. Some cribs allow you to keep the side panel in place at night. This allows you to be close and convenient with your baby while minimizing the risks of sharing a bed. Some cribs can be converted into a travel cot, or include additional features such as tilting, rocking (use with caution, remember to speak to your GP regarding this), or turning into an older baby cot or playpen.
