bedside co sleeper Cot Reviews
A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet) is placed close to your bed so you can safely tend to your baby during feedings at night and nappy changes without getting out of bed. They also help in creating confidence as your baby gets more comfortable in their own space to sleep.
The Joie Roomie Glide
The Joie Roomie Glide crib is an ideal bedside crib that allows parents to sleep with their baby while ensuring that they are resting safely. The smooth glide motion helps to lull your baby back to sleep, and its ingenuous features ensure that you can monitor them without having to leave your own bed.
The cot's slide-away side panel lifts and lowers with the touch of an button, making it a breeze to reach in and soothe a crying infant in the night. It has 11 height adjustments to fit almost any mattress size and adjustable folding feet that ensure it sits exactly at the right level.
The cot is cushioned and has mesh sides that allow for more the airflow, and the mattress is made of high-density, foam for added protection. It's also washable to keep it clean, and it is fitted with a sheet that's suitable for the cot.
The Roomie Glide, unlike some other cribs for bed, is compatible with most beds including divans. This is due to the clips and straps that attach it. It can also be used as a standalone crib even when it's not connected to the bed. It has many amazing features designed with the idea of parent-child bonding in mind.
One thing to bear in mind is that even though this crib is perfect for newborns, it won't last long after your baby turns six months old, and you will require a bigger cot. However, overall Roanna thought that the Joie Roomie Glide was a really good buy and she especially liked its sleek design.
The Roomie Glide is available to purchase at John Lewis for PS160, which Roanna felt was a reasonable price for a cot with the most advanced features. She liked the way it was positioned in her bedroom, and thought its gray color would be appropriate for most modern homes. However, she did point that it's not an ideal idea to rock a young baby as it could set an unhealthy habit that can affect later sleep patterns.
The Tutti Bambini CoZee
The Tutti Bambini CoZee is an award-winning
bedside crib travel crib designed with a secure night's rest in mind. It features a drop-side rail that can be easily lifted to feed your child during the night without disturbing them or causing them to get out of the bed. This is perfect for mothers who breastfeed! It is also lightweight and easy to move around during nap time or when traveling.
We love that it's constructed of soft materials that have mesh sides that are breathable, which promote airflow and comfort. It comes in charcoal or oak and various melange fabrics that can be incorporated with a variety of styles. Anna found it to be sturdy and secure after being affixed to her bed. The legs slid into place and the zippers were secure to ensure safety. It took Anna about 10 minutes to put it together and didn't require any tools. There are clear instructions as well as a video, and a customer service number should you experience any issues.
The CoZee crib has all the features you'd think of in a crib for your bed, including the ability to attach it to your bed with a stay-in-place connection system. It also comes with six height settings. In addition there is an incline feature that can be used to help babies suffering from reflux or congestion. It can also be washed by a machine - a must for all the dribbles, vomit, and snot that accompany a new baby!
If you're looking to keep your baby close to you during the first six months when they're learning to sleep independently and independently, the CoZee is a fantastic option as it can also be used as a separate crib, changing table and toddler bed. With the addition of a sofa bed extension pack, it could transform into an cot. While it won't feed your baby or magically sleep them it will gently rock them until they go off!
The Chicco Next2Me Magic
This is one of Chicco's most expensive options, however it is packed with lots of features. It's designed to function as an individual side sleeper or standalone crib, and is suitable from birth up to six months. It is easy to open and close the side panel thanks to the new mechanism. It is also more adjustable than the previous model, with 11 different height settings and legs that retract to fit underneath any bed.
Our testers loved the ease of access offered by the side panel, which can be moved upwards and down with one click of a switch. This was a huge benefit during night time feeds because it meant they could reach into and pick up their baby without disturbing them up.
It is possible to lower the side panel itself, but this isn't advised, since it increases the likelihood that your child will get out of the cot. But, the patented safety locking mechanism means that it will only stay down when attached to the bed of the parent correctly. This is a great feature to have in place for peace of mind, especially if you're breastfeeding and require frequent nighttime feedings.
Telescopic legs allow the Chicco Next2Me Magic to be used with any bed, including divan bases or beds with drawers. It also comes with an option to tilt for reflux babies and a rocking mode to bring them back to sleep after eating. It's also extremely large and offers 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's a bit heavier than other side-sleepers, however, it is easily moved from one area to another. It's also small enough to fit into a
travel cot bedside crib bag when not in use which is a plus when you have to transport it. The only issue our test subjects found was that the side panel did not flex as much compared to other models. This made it a bit harder to see your baby from your bed.
The Shnuggle Air
If you're in search of an ideal
Bedside Travel crib crib that can expand with your child then the Shnuggle Air is definitely worth considering. It's designed to be a sleep-co-sleeping bassinet that is attached to your bed, but can also convert into a stylish cot once your baby is ready. It's ideal for feeding at night and fostering a bond with your newborn.
The Shnuggle Air crib is designed to breathe, unlike some other cribs. The dual-view mesh side panels and hypoallergenic, breathable airflow mattress allow for maximum airflow, keeping your baby cool and comfortable. The gentle incline helps alleviate colic and reflux. The zip-down side lets you to feed your baby or soothe them at night.
The cot conversion kit is also well-designed, with clear instructions. It includes everything you require. It took us around an hour to put together and was reasonably straightforward. The only issue with the instructions was that some pictures did not have captions. This made it difficult to follow. Overall, it was an easy process and the quality of the materials used was high.
The Shnuggle Air is a great choice for mothers who are breastfeeding or have had C-sections. It lets them reach out and hold their baby for comfort and feeding without having to leave their bed. It's also great for mothers who want to avoid the difficulty of getting into and out of a traditional cot, or putting their baby down to sleep.
The gliding motion was found to be very helpful in lulling babies into sleep following feedings at night or midday. The drop-down sides make it easy to feed or soothe babies throughout the night. This was a huge selling point for our exhausted moms who took part in our tests. The Joie Roomie Glide is a modern and stylish crib that doesn't rock, nor has extra features like a sound machine.
