Bedside Cot Reviews
A bedside crib (also called a bassinet) sits close to your bed so you can be able to provide care to your baby during feedings at night and nappy changes without needing to get out of the bed. They are also ideal for developing confidence as your baby grows more comfortable in their own sleep space.

The side panel that slides out of the crib can be raised and lowered with just a push of a single button. This makes it easy to reach inside and soothe a crying baby at night. bedside crib with changing table has 11 height adjustments that let it fit on the mattress of almost any size bed. It also comes with adjustable feet that fold down to ensure it is at the right level.
In terms of safety the cot is cushioned and fitted with mesh sides for increased ventilation, while its mattress is made from high-density foam to provide extra protection. It's also washable, so you can keep the crib clean. It includes a fitted mattress sheet that is suitable for a crib.
Contrary to other cribs that are bedside, the Roomie Glide is suitable for most beds, including divans, thanks to its straps and clip attachment. It can also be used as a stand-alone crib even when it's not connected to the bed. It comes with a variety of amazing features designed with parent and baby bonding in mind.
It is important to remember that this crib won't last as long once your baby turns six months. You will have to buy a bigger cot. But, in general Roanna felt that the Joie Roomie Glide was a excellent purchase and she was particularly impressed by its elegant design.
John Lewis sells the Roomie Glide for PS160. Roanna thought this was a fair price for a cot. She liked the way it was positioned in her bedroom and thought its gray color would be appropriate for the majority of modern homes. She did point out that it's not an ideal idea to rock a baby when it's younger as it can cause an unfavourable sleep pattern for later.
The Tutti Bambini CoZee
The Tutti Bambini CoZee is an award-winning bedside crib that was designed with a safe night's sleep in mind. It has a drop-side rail that can be easily adjusted to feed your child in the evening without disturbing them or causing them to get out of the bed. This is great for breastfeeding mothers! It is also lightweight and easy to move around during nap time or for travel.
We love that it's made from soft materials with mesh sides that are breathable, which promote airflow and comfort. It is available in charcoal or oak with various melange fabrics that will blend with a variety of styles. Anna found that it was solid and secure when it was attached to her bed. The legs snapped into place and the zippers were secure to ensure security. It took Anna approximately 10 minutes to put it together and didn't require any tools. There are clear instructions as well as a video, and a customer service number should you encounter any issues.
The CoZee crib has all the features you would expect from a crib for your bedside, including the ability to connect it to your existing bed using a stay-in place connection system. It also has six height settings. In addition there is an inclined feature that can be used to help infants suffering from reflux or congestion. It can also be washed in the machine - a must for all the spills and vomit that accompany a new baby!
If you're looking to keep your baby close to you during the first six months as they're learning to sleep independently, the CoZee is a great choice because it can be used as a standalone cot, changing table and toddler bed. With the addition of a sofa-bed extension kit, it can transform into an actual bed. While it won't magically put your baby to sleep or feed them, it can rock the baby and take them to school.
The Chicco Next2Me Magic
This is one of Chicco's more expensive options. However, it has a lot of excellent features. It's designed to function as a side sleeper or standalone crib and is suitable from birth up to six months. It features a brand new mechanism for opening and closing the side panel and is easy to operate, even for one-handed operation. It's also more adjustable than its predecessor with 11 different height levels and feet that retract to installation under any bed.
Our testers loved the ease of access the side panel provides that can be flipped up and down at the touch of one button. This was an enormous help during feeding times at night because it meant they could reach into and take their baby away without disturbing them.
The side panel can be lifted by itself, but it's not advised as it increases the risk of your baby falling out of the cot. The patented safety locking system makes sure that the side panel will stay down if it is properly attached to the mattress of the parent. This is an excellent feature to have for peace mind, particularly in the case of breastfeeding and frequent feedings at night.
The Chicco Next2Me Magic is designed to be a perfect fit for any bed that includes divan bases as well as beds with drawers, thanks to the legs that telescopic. It also comes with a tilting function for babies with reflux and a rocking mode to bring them back to sleep after feeding. It is also very spacious and has excellent ventilation thanks to its mesh sides.
Our testers found the Next2Me Magic easy to set up and use, though it does come with an extensive instruction manual. It is a little heavier than other side-sleepers, but it's easily moved from one area to another. It can also be folded into a travel bag, which is great when you need to transport it. The only issue our testers have found is that the side panel didn't flex as much compared to other models. This made it a little harder to see your baby from your bed.
The Shnuggle Air
If you're looking for a bedside crib that will develop with your child, then the Shnuggle Air is definitely worth a look. Designed to be a co-sleeping bassinet that is attached to your bed and convert into a chic cot when your baby is ready. It's perfect for night-time feeds and growing your bond with your newborn.
In contrast to other cribs for bed like the Shnuggle Air is built with breathability in mind. Its dual-view mesh sides and the airflow mattress, which is hypoallergenic and breathable increase airflow to keep your baby cool and comfortable. The gentle slope helps reduce colic and reflux. The zip-down side allows you to feed your baby or comfort them at night.
The cot conversion kit (sold separately) is also well-designed, with clear directions and everything you require to start. It took us about an hour to assemble and was fairly simple to put together. The only issue was the absence of captions in writing on a few images, which made it difficult to understand some of the steps. Overall, it was a simple process and the quality of materials used was high.
In the co-sleeping mode, we found the Shnuggle Air to be an excellent choice for breastfeeding mums and women who have had a C-section, as it allows them to comfortably reach out to their baby for comfort and feeding without having to get up from their own bed. It's also great for mothers who want to avoid the difficulty of getting into and out of a traditional cot or placing their child down for a nap.
During our testing we noticed the smooth motion of this next-to-me crib to be particularly useful in lulling babies back to sleep after feedings at midday and in the evening. The drop-down side can be easily accessible to feed or calm babies in the middle of the night, which was a real draw for our exhausted test mums. Although it doesn't rock, or have additional features like a sound system, the Joie Roomie Slide's sleek design and functional features are a welcome addition to our best bedside crib reviews.
