It's also easy to put together and folds flat for easy transport. Some moms complained that it was somewhat heavy, however, and this could be a problem for those with mobility issues.
Another alternative to consider is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category.

Budget
The best bedside crib s are those that are near your bed, to let you watch your baby, change diapers at night, and feed your baby without having to get up from your bed.

Most will come with mattresses, which is crucial because you want it to be a bit firm and flat, not soft or lumpy.
You should also factor in the ease of build - some cribs are more simple than others, and the more complex models costing more. Consider whether the crib is designed to fit your own bed or not. Some cribs may only fit with a specific type of divan base. This could be a problem if you own a bedframe that is more unusual.
