Easy access

A bedside co sleeper cot crib, also known as a co-sleeper, or bedside crib to cot bassinet is a specially-designed sleep solution that allows babies to sleep close to their parents without the dangers of co-sleeping (like rolling off the mattress of their parents or suffocating). This can be particularly helpful for mothers who have had a C-section, as they recover and can aid them in getting back into the rhythm of life with their baby.

While it's a fantastic way to learn to share your space with your child however, you should be aware of certain aspects when buying one. As a rule of thumb you should ensure that the crib is secured with a wall of 12cm to stop your baby from rolling over onto the other side of the bed. It should also have an easy-to-reach drop-down side, so that you can reach over and take your child during the night for feeding or comforting, and it's important that it fits neatly beside your bed.

The best-rated crib for use at bedtime is the SnuzPod 4. It's a world bestseller thanks to its Scandi-inspired design and an array of features. This includes a ComfortAir technology that regulates temperature and maximises airflow. The HALO BassiNest Essentia is another popular choice. It features a swiveling sleeping area and the sidewall can be easily removed so that you can reach inside to pick up baby or soothe them. The Joie Roomie Glide also has an edge that is collapsible, which you can easily fold with your hand. It will then automatically return to its upright position.

All the cribs we've reviewed here can easily be placed on top of your bed. They also conform to the latest BS EN1130:2019 safety standards, which establish higher standards for this type of crib. There are a few cribs on the market that don't meet these standards, but as manufacturers replace older models with newer safer ones, they'll slowly disappear from the market. Check that the crib you're thinking of purchasing is safe and meets the latest safety standard.

Safety

The provision of a safe and secure sleeping space is essential for your baby's health and well-being. When choosing a crib or cot, always look for one that adheres to NHS safety standards and has been endorsed by childcare experts like the director of the Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory. Bedside cribs are a secure practical option for parents who want to keep their children close. This fosters bonding and gives them the peace of mind knowing that they're not in danger.

If you are buying a bedside cot, bassinet or crib, ensure that it has a solid flat mattress. Any gaps could lead to the suffocation. Also, make sure the crib frame is strong and that the slats spaced not more than 3/8 inches apart. Make sure the mattress is in line with EN 16890 and has been tested to assure strength, stability and firmness.

Also, you should avoid putting in anything to your infant's crib that increase the risk of entrapment, suffocation or strangulation like blankets, pillows and stuffed animals or other items unless they're specifically designed to be used for sleep. Also, avoid any sleep wedges, or positioners as they're not clinically proved to improve sleep, and could pose danger to your baby.

It's a good idea to buy a crib that has fixed sides in comparison to cribs with drop sides, since these are considered safer. Avoid cribs with mobiles attached, as they could create a strangulation or choking risk to your baby if the cord or string gets caught in.

Make sure that the crib's hardware is free of sharp edges that could cause injury or scratching to your baby. Make sure that the crib mattress and bedding are properly secured and there aren't any broken or loose brackets or screws. Also, look for the JPMA Certification seal as this is an indication that the crib has been tested and has met the industry's highest safety standards. Look for the seal on the JPMA Certification Directory by selecting a product category.

Practicality

If you'd like to be close to your newborn but do not want to share the same bed, a crib that is placed beside it is a great alternative. These beds, also referred to as co-sleepers or bedside bassinets, attach to the side your bed. They offer you a private place to sleep, but are still accessible to feedings at night and comforting. This close interaction strengthens the bond between parents and children, and promotes healthy sleeping patterns. Parents can also respond promptly to any wake-related needs in the night.

Many cribs come with a side panel that can be removed and kept down at night to let you view your baby easily and raise them up towards you for feeding, night changing nappy or just for calming. Some even have a unique zip-down mesh wall that can be zipped up and then tucked into the mattress for additional security, removing the possibility of blankets or duvets falling on top of your baby. The SnuzPod 4, for instance, is made of breathable material that boosts airflow and decreases the chance of being suffocated.

You can attach most cribs to your bed or mattress by using straps. However, you must make sure that the straps provided with the crib are compatible with your bed frame. This is particularly crucial if you have a divan-style bed. Some cribs can be folded up and away when they're not being used which makes them an ideal choice for travel too.

Some cribs can be moved around, so you can move them around as you need to. This lets you keep your child close throughout the day, promoting socialisation and bonding. They're also a great way to help your baby become more independent, as they'll begin to fall asleep without having you by their side and develop a self-sleeping routine.
