What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a small infant crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your newborn to sleep in a safe environment with you. This is a type of safe co-sleeping that does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) similar to bedsharing and can help you bond with your new arrival.

These cots often have a side that is able to be lowered, so you can easily reach your newborn during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers recovering from a c section. Many of them are foldable or portable which means you can use them to travel or as a temporary solution for newborns who aren't ready to transition into a full-sized crib.

Choose a crib that has a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will shield your baby from stains. You might also want to purchase baby-safe items such as an infant blanket or a teether.

If you are looking for a longer-term solution, some cribs come with conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a toddler bed or cot at the time that is right. This will extend their life and make the transition easier. Some come with a removable section at the top that can be converted into a bassinet. Others can be used with either an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise model. This is a great option for families that are planning on frequent travel or switching between bedrooms throughout the night. Be aware of the dimensions of your room to make sure you can fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with a riser which can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.

The Joie Roomie Glide

The Roomie Glide, a bedside crib from the English brand Joie is a wonderful addition to their line of high-quality products for infants. Designed to allow parents to bond with their infants while they sleep side by side without sharing a bed. This co-sleeper is packed with features that make parent-baby bonding enjoyable, safe and easy.

A smooth rocking motion can be activated by pressing the button. This gentle rhythm will help soothe your baby to sleep without disturbing their natural sleeping patterns. This is great for toddlers or older babies who have difficulty settling down. It can also assist with digestive issues such as reflux and colic.

The crib can also be attached to the side of the bed by clips and straps. This makes it stable and secure, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep without having to worry about your little one falling off into the middle of the room. The rounded shape of the cocoon features soft padded side panels and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while keeping your baby safe.

The mattress is comfortable and firm and has an easy-to-clean cover. The crib is simple to assemble and disassemble with a lightweight aluminium frame that makes it very mobile. The four locking wheels are covered in rubber to ensure the crib doesn't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. The crib is easy to clean with the wipeable woven fabric and can be easily packed in a bag for overnight stays.

The Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir

This model is made to be a safe baby-sitter from birth until 6 months. It features rocking bars for easy mobility and castors. The airflow mattress is a premium model that provides a comfortable sleep surface while ventilation panels keep your baby cool. There are six different height settings as well as an incline option that could aid in reducing reflux and congestion.

The Tutti Bambini COZee Air crib has a removable fabric and a wipe-clean lining. This makes it much easier to clean than some bedside cribs which can create messy to clean. It also has a top bar that can be easily adjusted for nighttime feeds without needing to fiddle with zips in the dark.

Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfy place to sleep for her baby. She loved that it didn't rock like some other models, meaning it wasn't waking her at night when she was trying to soothe her baby for feedings. She also loved the fact that the side could be lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to carry the baby to feed her at night.

The CoZee is available in oak and charcoal and is a chic addition to the bedroom. It's more of an expensive piece of furniture than many of the other cribs that we've tested, which can appear quite utilitarian. It's also fairly light at just 11kg and comes with a carry bag which allows you to take it on vacation or when you move house. It's all you need to buy is an extra waterproof sheet and safety strap to sleep with your partner. The instructions and pictures are simple to follow once you open the box.

The Iora is a bassinet for the bed that helps parents feel connected to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down, and moved through three different slide positions, to be placed beside the bed of the parent or in the corner to ensure that the infant is always in reach. The mesh siding lets air flow through and allows you to quickly see your baby. And you can stow extra pajamas and supplies in the large storage basket beneath.

In contrast to other bedside crib options, the Iora folds flat and comes with a travel bag so that it can be carried anywhere. Our mom testers were able to move it from room to room and felt that it was a suitable size for a bedside cot, and not too big or small. The large storage basket is perfect for storing extra bedding or nappies.

This is a great option for parents who want to co-sleep, but don't wish to share their bed. Also, if one of the partners has mobility issues, such as back pain or arthritis. Our mum testers love the fact that they can easily access their baby in the Iora, and that it comes with an optional reflux incline to help alleviate gas.

Our mothers also love the fact that it meets NICE guidelines, which are to place the infant in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets pillows, etc.). The mattress is also firm and comfortable for the baby and sheets are easily available. It's not as light as the other smaller cribs on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier to move around, consider a different option.
