bedside cot reviews (published on telegra.ph)

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 needing to get out of the bed. These cribs are fantastic to help develop independence for your child as they get more comfortable in their own sleeping space.

It is crucial to keep in mind that this crib will not last as long once your baby turns six months old. You will need to purchase a larger crib. But, in general Roanna found that the Joie Roomie Glide was a very good purchase and she particularly liked its elegant design.

John Lewis sells the Roomie Glide for PS160. Roanna thought this was a reasonable price for such an item. She was pleased with the way it was positioned in her bedroom and believed the grey color would work in most modern homes. However, she did point out that it isn't a great idea to rock a younger baby, as it can create an unhealthy habit that can affect later sleep patterns.

Anna found it to be sturdy and secure when affixed to her bed, with the legs securely snapping into the frame and the zips securely secured to ensure safety for babies. It took Anna about 10 minutes to put it together and did not require any tools. There are clear instructions as well as a video, and a customer service number should you encounter any issues.

The Chicco Next2Me Magic

This is one of the more expensive options. However, it has a lot of great features. It can be used either a side-sleeper or a standalone crib and is suitable for babies from birth to six months. It features a brand new mechanism for opening and closing the side panel, and is easy to operate even with one hand. It's also more adjustable than its predecessor, having 11 different height levels as well as feet that retract to installation under any bed.

Our testers were impressed by the ease of use offered by the side panel, which can be moved upwards and down with one click of a switch. This was especially helpful during nighttime feedings as they could reach inside and pick up their baby without waking them up.

The side panel can be lowered on its own however it isn't recommended since it increases the risk of your baby falling out of the cot. However, the patented safety locking mechanism guarantees that it will only remain in place when it is attached to the bed properly. This is a great feature to have in place for peace of mind, particularly in the case of breastfeeding and frequent feedings at night.

The Chicco Next2Me Magic is designed to work with any bed, including divan bases and beds with drawers, thanks to the telescopic legs. It also comes with tilting functions for babies with reflux and a rocking mode to soothe them back to sleep after eating. It's also very spacious and has excellent ventilation due to its mesh sides.

The Next2Me Magic was easy to use and set up for our test subjects, even with the lengthy instruction manual. It's heavier than other side-sleepers but it's still quite portable and can be moved from room to room with ease. It's also foldable up into its travel bag which is ideal if you want to transport it. The only downside our test subjects found was that the side panel did not flex as much as some of the other models, which made it slightly harder to see your baby from your own bed.

The Shnuggle Air

If you're looking for an ideal bedside baby bed crib that can develop with your child, then the Shnuggle Air is definitely worth a look. It is designed to be a co-sleeping bassinet that will attach securely to your bed, but can also convert into a stylish cot when your baby is ready. It's ideal for feeding your baby at night and growing your bond with your infant.

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. A gentle incline helps to reduce colic and reflux while the zip down side allows you to feed or comfort 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 put together and was surprisingly simple. The only downside to the instructions was that certain pictures did not have captions. This made it difficult for us to follow the instructions. Overall, the process was simple and the materials used were of high quality.

In the co-sleeping mode, we found the Shnuggle Air to be an ideal choice for breastfeeding mothers and women who have had a C-section since it allows them to easily reach out to their newborn for comfort and feeding without having to get up from their own bed. It's also great for those who want to avoid the hassle of getting in and out of a traditional cot or putting their baby down to sleep.

The gliding motion was discovered to be extremely helpful in lulling babies to sleep following feedings at night or midday. The drop-down side makes it easy to feed or soothe babies during the night. This was a big selling point for our exhausted moms who took part in our tests. The Joie Roomie Glide is a sleek and functional crib that doesn't rock, nor has extra features like the sound machine.
