Bedside Cot Reviews

A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet) is located close to your bed so you can be able to provide care to baby during night feeds and diaper changes without having to get out of your bed. These cribs are fantastic for helping to build independence in your child as they become more comfortable in their own space to sleep.

Its smooth gliding motion will help to soothe your baby to sleep, and its innovative features allow you to keep an eye on your child without leaving bed.

The side panel that slides out of the cot can be lifted and lowered by a simple press of a button. This makes it simple to reach inside and soothe a baby at night. It comes with 11 height adjustments to fit almost any mattress size. It also has adjustable folding feet so that it's at the right height.

The cot is padded, features mesh sides for better ventilation, and its mattress is made from high-density foam for added protection. It's also wipeable to keep it clean. Additionally, it is fitted with a sheet that is suitable for the cot.

The Roomie Glide, unlike some other bedside cribs is compatible with all beds including divans. This is thanks to the clips and straps that connect to it. It can be used as a standalone crib even when it's not attached to the bed. It comes with a variety of amazing features that were designed with baby and parent bonding in mind.

It is essential to keep in mind that this crib will not last as long once your baby turns six months. You'll need to buy a bigger crib. But, in general Roanna thought that the Joie Roomie Glide was a excellent purchase and she particularly liked its sleek design.

John Lewis sells the Roomie Glide for PS160. Roanna thought this was a reasonable price for a cot. She also liked the way it appeared in the bedroom and thought that its grey colour is a good fit for modern homes. However, she pointed out that it's not a great idea to rock a younger baby, as it can create the stage for bad habits that will affect later sleep patterns.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee

The Tutti Bambini CoZee is an award-winning best bedside cot for newborn crib that was designed with a safe night's sleep in mind. It features an adjustable side rail that can be easily adjusted to feed your child at night without disturbing them or forcing them out of the bed. This is ideal for mothers who breastfeed! It's also lightweight, making it easy to move around the house during naps and tton. This was particularly useful in the evening when feeding time was over, since they could reach in and pick their baby up without waking them.

The side panel can be lifted on its own, but it's not recommended since it increases the risk of your child falling out of the cot. The safety locking system ensures that the side panel will only remain in place when it is attached correctly to the parent's mattress. This is an excellent feature to have for peace mind, especially when you're breastfeeding and need frequent night feeds.

Telescopic legs allow the Chicco Next2Me Magic to be used with any bed, such as divan bases or beds with drawers. It has a tilting feature for reflux babies, and an option to rock to soothe them to sleep after a feeding. It's also extremely spacious and has excellent ventilation thanks to its mesh sides.

Our test participants found the Next2Me Magic easy to set up and use, though it does have quite lengthy instructions. It's heavier than other side-sleepers, however it's fairly mobile and can be moved from room room with ease. It can also be folded up into its travel cot bedside bag, which is great if you want to transport it. The only issue our test subjects found was that the side panel didn't flex as much as some of the other models, which made it a little harder to see your baby from your own bed.

The Shnuggle Air

If you're in search of an ideal bedside cosleeper crib that can expand with your child then the Shnuggle Air is definitely worth a look. It is designed to be a co-sleeping bassinet that is attached to your bed but also convert into a stylish cot once your baby is ready. It's ideal for feeding at night and growing your bond with your baby.

The Shnuggle Air crib is designed to breathe, which is different from other cribs. The dual-view mesh side panels and airflow mattress that is hypoallergenic and breathable allow for maximum airflow, keeping your baby cool and comfortable. A gentle incline helps to reduce colic and reflux, while the zip down side makes it easy to feed or soothe your baby throughout the night.

The cot conversion kit (sold separately) is also well-designed, with clear instructions and everything you require to get started. It took us around an hour to complete and was fairly straightforward. The only downside was the absence of captions written on a few images which made it difficult to follow some of the steps. However, overall it was a simple procedure 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, because it lets them comfortably reach out to their newborn for feeding and comfort without having to leave their bed. It's ideal for parents who do not want to go through the hassle of putting their baby in a traditional cot, or getting out of it.

During our tests, we found the gliding motion of this next to me crib to be especially beneficial in getting babies to sleep after feedings at midday and in the evening. The drop-down side is also accessible to feed or calm babies in the middle of the night this was a huge benefit for our exhausted test moms. Although it doesn't rock or have extra features like a sound machine, the Joie Roomie Glide's elegant design and practicality are a welcome addition our top crib reviews for bed.
