Bedside Cot Reviews
A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet) sits close to your bed to allow you to be able to tend to your baby during night feeds and diaper changes without getting out of the bed. These cribs are fantastic to help develop independence for your child as they grow more comfortable in their own bed.
The Joie Roomie Glide
The Joie Roomie Glide crib is a crib that can be placed at the bedside, allowing parents to sleep with their newborn while ensuring that they are resting safely. Its smooth gliding motion helps to lull your baby back to sleep, and its ingenuous features let you monitor them without having to leave your own bed.
The side panel that slides out of the cot can be lifted and lowered with a simple push of a single button. This makes it easy to reach inside and soothe a baby at night. It also has 11 height adjustments that allow it to fit the mattress of almost any size bed. It also comes with adjustable feet that fold down to ensure it's placed at just the right height.
The cot is cushioned and features mesh sides for better ventilation, and its mattress is made from high-density foam for extra protection. It's also wipeable so that you can keep it clean. It also comes with a fitted sheet that is suitable for the cot.
Contrary to other cribs that are bedside like the Roomie Glide is suitable for the majority of beds, including divans, thanks to its straps and clip attachment. It can also be used as a standalone crib if it isn't attached to the bed. It has many wonderful features designed with parent and baby bonding in mind.
It is crucial to keep in mind that this crib won't last as long as when your baby turns six months old. You will have to buy a bigger crib. However, overall Roanna felt that the Joie Roomie Glide was a really good buy and she was particularly impressed by its elegant design.
The Roomie Glide is available to purchase at John Lewis for PS160, which Roanna thought was an affordable cost for a cot that has such innovative features. She also liked how it appeared in the bedroom, and believed that the grey color would suit most modern homes. However, she pointed that it's not a great idea to rock a younger baby because it can set the stage for bad habits that will affect later sleep patterns.
The Tutti Bambini CoZee
The Tutti Bambini CoZee bedside crib is designed to give you the best sleep possible. It has an adjustable side rail that can be easily lowered to feed your child at night without disturbing them or forcing them out of the bed. This is perfect for mothers who breastfeed! It's also light and easy to move around during nap time or when traveling.
We love that it's constructed from soft materials with breathable mesh sides that promote airflow and comfort. It comes in charcoal or oak with a range of melange fabrics that will blend with all styles of decor. Anna found it sturdy and secure when affixed to her bed, with the legs firmly snapping into place and the zips secure for baby-safety. It took her about 10 minutes to assemble it and didn't require tools, with clear instructions and a video or support number if you run into any problems.
The CoZee crib has all the features you would think of in a crib for your bedside, such as the ability to connect it to your existing bed with a stay-in-place connection system. It also comes with six height settings. In addition there is an inclined feature that can be used to aid babies suffering from reflux or congestion. It can also be washed by a machine essential for all the spills, vomit, and snot that come with a newborn baby!
The CoZee is an excellent choice for keeping your child close during their first six months of learning to sleep independently. It can be used as a changing station, cot or toddler bed. It can be turned into a sofa bed by the addition of an extension pack. While it won't magically make your baby sleep or feed them, it will rock them and send them off.
The Chicco Next2Me Magic
This is one of Chicco’s more expensive alternatives. However, it comes with many amazing features. It can be used either a side-sleeper or a standalone crib and is suitable for babies from birth to six months. It has a new mechanism for opening and closing the side panel. It's simple to use, even for one-handed operation. It's also more adjustable than the previous model, with 11 different height settings as well as legs that retract to place under any bed.
Our testers loved the ease of access offered by the side panel, which can be moved upwards and downwards with just a single push of a button. This was a huge help during night time feeds because it meant they could reach into and pick up their baby without disturbing them.
The side panel can be lowered on its own however it isn't advised as it increases the risk of your child falling out of the cot. However, bedside travel cot locking mechanism ensures that it will only remain in place if it is connected to the bed of the parent correctly. This feature is fantastic for peace of mind if you are 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 comes with a tilting function for reflux babies, and a rocking function to help soothe them to sleep after a feeding. It's also very spacious and has excellent ventilation thanks to its mesh sides.
The Next2Me Magic was easy to use and set up for our testers, despite the lengthy instruction manual. It is a little heavier than other side-sleepers, but it's easily moved from one place to another. It's also small enough to fit into a travel bag when not in use which is an advantage when you have to transport it. The only issue our testers noticed was that the side panel did not flex as much as the other models, which made it slightly harder to see your baby from your own bed.
The Shnuggle Air
The Shnuggle Air bedside crib is an excellent choice when you're looking for a crib that can grow with your child. It is designed to be a co-sleeping bassinet that can be attached securely to your bed and convert into a chic cot when your baby is ready. It's ideal for feeding at night and growing your bond with your infant.
Unlike some other cribs for bed The Shnuggle Air is built with breathability in mind. The dual-view mesh side panels and airflow mattress that is hypoallergenic and breathable maximize airflow and keep your baby comfortable and cool. A gentle incline helps to reduce colic and reflux while the zip down side allows you to feed or soothe your baby at night.
The kit for conversion to cot is also well-designed with clear instructions. It includes everything you need. It took us around an hour to construct and was surprisingly simple. The only downside was the absence of written captions on a few of the images, which made it difficult to follow certain steps. However, overall it was a simple process and the quality of the materials used was high.
In the co-sleeping mode, we discovered the Shnuggle Air to be an excellent option for breastfeeding mothers and women who have had a c-section as it allows them to easily reach out to their baby to feed and comfort them without having to get up from their own bed. It's ideal for parents who don't want to deal with the burden of putting their infant in a traditional cot or getting them out of it.
In our tests we observed the gliding motion of the next-to-me crib to be particularly helpful when it comes to lulling babies back to sleep after feedings at night and midday. The drop-down side is also easily accessed to feed or soothe babies during the middle of the night this was a huge selling point for our exhausted test mothers. Although it doesn't rock, or come with extra features, like an audio system the Joie Roomie Glide's sleek design and functional features are a welcome addition our best bedside crib reviews.
