Easy to clean

If you're looking at travel cots or bedside cribs, look for ones that have a mattress cover that is removable that is machine-washable. This will keep it clean and free of spills, spills, and leaky diapers. It's an excellent idea to choose a product that is easily disassembled and dismantled in parts, so that you can access all the nooks and crannies to conduct a thorough cleaning and sanitising session.

This is vital, as it's the best way to ensure that all dirt and germs have been eliminated. Verify that the sides of the crib are secure so that your baby cannot fall down or get trapped.
