Buying a Bedside Crib For Travel

The dimensions of this crib are ideal for moms. It's bigger than a Moses Basket but smaller than a Cot Bed. It's also foldable down to one-quarter of its original size and then put in a handy bag for travel.

It is important to remember that the crib should only be used for sleeping and that toys like blankets, pillows and pillows pose dangers to suffocate.

Safety

When you are looking for a travel crib it is important to make sure that the manufacturer is compliant with all safety standards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) site is the best place to start. It will inform you whether a crib that is portable has ever been recalled. Select a mattress that is suitable for the crib of your child so that it doesn't slide through the gaps or create an suffocation hazard.

When you are choosing a bassinet or crib, look for one that is in compliance with the latest safety standards that were revised in 2022. It is also recommended to avoid cribs that are older, modified cribs or drop side cribs that are repurposed for travel because these aren't tested and could pose a risk to your baby's health.

A travel crib needs to be sturdy and well-constructed. Examine for loose, missing or broken screws and other hardware. If you're using a playard it should have secure walls and mesh windows for adequate air flow. The crib's slats must not be more than 2 3/8 inches apart to prevent the baby's head and legs from getting trapped. Never put toys, blankets, or toys in the crib. large bedside crib can cause suffocation or strangle your baby and should be removed from the crib as soon as your child is able to push up on their knees and hands or before 5 months old, whichever comes first.

Check often for broken or travel bedside crib and other hardware. This is particularly important when traveling with a child. Remove all plastic from the crib, too.

If you're using a portable crib, make sure that it's not right under windows. Windows pose an accident hazard and if your child rolls into it, they may be injured. Even if your child is old enough to roll over it is best to keep their sleeping area away from windows. If your child starts to roll over while sleeping, it's a good idea awake them to prevent injuries.

Portability

Portable cribs (or playards which is what they're sometimes referred to as) are a great option for those who are going on vacation, having guests over, or just needing a safe crib to use during a sleepover or with friends. These foldable contraptions have a comfortable mattress that can accommodate children up to 15 kg. They are simple to assemble and compact once closed.

MFM home testers appreciate the BabyBjorn travel crib because it's easy to fold and store. Its easy drop-down panels that are one-handed are also easy for parents with a bleary eye. It's not the lightest backpack on our list, but it's a good weight, weighing just under 15 pounds, and it has regular carry handles rather than an e-bag strap, which some find more comfortable to haul around.

The Joie Kubbie Sleep is another great option. It includes a bassinet for the bed and a crib into one compact unit. It is ideal for overnight stays during holidays and with family and friends. It's not the cheapest option but it does come with various features, such as a basket for storage, soothing night lights that change colour as well as lullabies and white noise to help your child sleep.

It's also easy to keep clean, with machine washable and wipeable fabric. It's also light at less than 12kg and fits nicely into the small, compact travel case that comes with it. It comes with six different height settings and a tummy tilt to help with reflux or colic babies, and is able to fit beds of all sizes. It's also very easy to set up and has our MFM tester able to get it up and running in a mere 10 minutes. It'll require a separate mattress.

Feeding

If you're traveling to work or for pleasure it's crucial to keep your baby happy and safe when traveling. While some families might be attracted to use a bassinet or a crib that they own, it's best to buy one that is specifically designed for travel. They are smaller and come with mesh sides so parents can monitor their child without causing any disturbance to them. They are also lightweight to make it easy to transport between locations. They also meet all the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and haven't been subject to recalls.

If you must use a crib alongside your bed it is recommended that you place your baby on their back. The mattress should be free of blankets, pillows and stuffed toys. This kind of sleeping arrangement increases the chance of SIDS. If you must co-sleep occasionally, ensure that you only do so while your baby is asleep and that you are at all times dressed and awake.

The bedside cribs that are available for newborns and young babies include:

Some are designed to look like a mini-crib or Moses basket while others have sides that can be lowered into the parents' beds. This lets parents access their child in the middle of the night to soothe and feed their child, and avoid the dangers of co-sleeping. The AAP warns against this due to the risk of the risk of suffocation. The Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet is a bedside sleeper that attaches to a parent's mattress. It is also a safer option for older children because the sides can easily be raised to let you reach the infant from the adult bed without lifting them out. The travel cot that has an integrated crib that can be removed allows you to easily raise a sleeping baby to allow feeding or care.

Sleeping

Bedside cribs allow you to co-sleep safely with your baby. They are placed near your bed so you can easily reach them for night feedings and check on their sleep without disrupting them. Some cribs have a drop side that can be lower to make this easier, and some have an adjustable height to make sure they be able to fit in your bed at home or when you are away.

Although it was previously recommended that infants sleep in their own separate bedroom, there's a growing preference for parents to sleep with their infants. Also known as rooming in, this arrangement lets babies be close to their parents, but remain safe and separate from their own bassinet or crib. There are a variety of co-sleepers available like the iCrib, which is designed to be a portable crib that fits on the top of your bed or a standard crib. It has a light frame and a mattress that is removable and it can be folded for easy storage. There is also the Joie Roomie Go crib, that is attached to the edge of a bed and includes 7 adjustable height positions as well as a tummy tilt for reflux and colic. The crib was highly loved by our MFM home testers for its ease of use and compact folding, and it's also available in a variety of colours.


There are also freestanding cribs for bedside use, such as our Lilly and Alain, that can be positioned alongside the traditional bed frame. These have a movable side barrier that slides down to allow you pick your baby up for dinner at night, but the crib is completely self-contained and your baby will sleep soundly throughout this time. They also meet the new BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements which require that 120mm high barriers must be placed between your mattress and the cot of your child.

There are also cribs for travel available. They are designed specifically for use on the road. These are usually smaller and lighter than standard cribs, which makes it easier to transport them from and into hotels and cars. Munchkin Brica, for example can be assembled in just a few minutes and folded down in less than three pounds. It is therefore easy to move and lift.
