Easy to put together

Bedside cribs are usually simple to set up and are usually on the smaller side, so they fit neatly alongside your bed. They also tend to be lighter, making them more mobile.

Some cribs with a bedside have an additional side panel that can be raised, allowing easy access to your baby without the need to get out of bed.

The majority of models have a built-in rocking function. This can be a comforting experience for your baby and help them fall asleep.

The MFM home testers loved it for its comfort and easy to put together. It is also compact. The Graco Play Yard (also known as the pack and play) is another popular choice, and was shortlisted in the 2022 Mother&Baby Awards.

Some cribs allow you to lower the barrier completely. This allows you to co-sleep with no risk. (Make sure that the crib you choose is compliant with the current safety requirements).

The Luah is the winner of the Mother&Baby Awards best bedside cot for newborn Cot, or Moses Basket in 2021, is designed to be attached to bedsteads and divans but requires longer straps (check your specs to make sure that your bed is able to accommodate).

Easy to clean

Look for cribs that come with removable mattress covers which can be washed in the machine when you are looking at cribs for bed or travel cots. This will keep it clean and free of dribbles, spills, and leaky diapers. You should also choose one that is easily disassembled to allow you to clean and sanitise all the corners.

This is crucial, since it's the best way to make sure that all dirt and germs have been cleared away. Make sure that the sides of the crib are secure to ensure that your baby doesn't fall down or get trapped.

Apart from being easy to clean, you'll also want a bedside crib that is comfortable for your baby and fits well with your bed. This is especially important in the case of a bedside crib that sleeps with your child. They are designed to be attached securely to the side of the bed for parents which allows parents to easily access their baby throughout the night to feed and comfort their baby while maintaining the safety of separate sleeping areas.

When choosing a crib for your bedroom, you should also consider whether it comes with extra features that might be useful to you. Some cribs tilt or rock, which is ideal for babies who are fussy.

It is important to make sure that your crib or travel bed has a flat, firm mattress that fits snugly into the frame. This will decrease the chance of SIDS by ensuring that your baby's head and feet aren't slipping into gaps or folds in the bedding.

It's a good idea to buy a new mattress for the crib or travel bedside crib cot rather than use one that was passed down or purchased second-hand. Mattresses that have been used are more likely to lose their shape with time, increasing the risk of SIDS. All cribs that are new should be compliant with BS EN 1130:2019, the most recent standard that introduces more stringent requirements for safe and effective sleep solutions.
