These should only be used under supervision, and a GP or health visitor should be consulted before trying this position.

Some cribs lower the barrier completely, offering the convenience of co-sleeping without the risk (check whether the crib you're considering meets the latest safety requirements though). Some allow you to lower the barrier but pop it back up after you've lifted baby out, which is ideal for parents who have fears of their little one rolling off the edge of their mattress.
The Luah, which won the Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, or Moses Basket in 2021, is designed to be attached to divans and bedsteads however, it requires a longer strap (check your specifications to be sure your bed is able to accommodate).

Easy to clean
If you're considering travel cots or cheap bedside cot cribs be sure to look for models that have a mattress cover that is removable that can be machine-washed. This will help keep it clean from leaky nappies, infant sick and drips. It's an excellent idea to choose one that is able to be disassembled and dismantled in parts, so that you can access all the nooks and crannies for an extensive cleaning and sanitising.
This is essential, as it will ensure that all dirt and germs have been eliminated. Also, you should ensure that the crib's sides are securely connected, ensuring there are no gaps or areas where your baby could potentially slide down or become trapped.
Apart from being easy to clean, you'll also want a Large Bedside Crib crib that is comfortable for your child and will fit comfortably into your own bed. This is especially important if you are using a bedside crib for co-sleeping. They are designed to fit securely to the side of the parent's bed which allows parents to easily reach their infant throughout the night for feeding and comforting while ensuring the safety of separate sleeping surfaces.
Another thing to think about when choosing a bedside crib is if it comes with additional features that you may consider useful. Some cribs tilt or rock, which is ideal for babies who tend to be fussy.
It is also important to make sure that your cot or crib is a flat and firm mattress that fits snugly in the frame. This will lower the risk of SIDS by making sure that your baby's feet and head aren't slipping into gaps or folds in the bedding.
It's a good idea buy a new mattress for your crib or travel cot, rather than use one that was passed down or purchased second-hand. Mattresses that are used are more likely to lose their shape with time and increase the risk of SIDS. All new cribs must meet BS EN1130:2019. This is the most recent standard that introduces stricter requirements to ensure safe and effective sleep solutions.
Versatile
A bedside crib (or co-sleeping crib as they're sometimes known) is attached to your bed to allow you to reach your baby easily at night without having to get out of your own sleeping area. They can also be used as a standalone crib during the daytime. They usually come with a side panel that can be removed so that you can feel your baby's hand and see him. Some cribs allow you to keep the panel in place all night, which gives you the intimacy and convenience of co-sleeping with your newborn, but minimises the risks of bed sharing. Some cribs will also convert into a travel cot or come with additional features such as rocking, tilting (use with caution, make sure to talk to your GP about this) or changing into an older baby cot or playpen.
The SnuzPod 4 crib is popular for many reasons, and not only because of its sleek Scandi design. This one has six height adjustments and a handy storage shelf. It's also a bit heavier and bulkier than some of our more travel-friendly cribs and comes in a handy bag to keep it free of dust and clean when stored.
The instructions are simple and there is a handy toolkit that can be used to help you. It's also easy to clean with an easy-to-clean mattress cover and breathable fabric. It also comes with a few extras than some of the other bedside cribs we've tried, such as an anti-reflux incline as well as a rocking function and a storage pocket.
Jasmin says this is a fantastic crib since it's "easy to reach your baby in the middle of the night to feed him without fuss and is larger than the majority of Moses baskets, so it will last longer before my son is out of it". She also appreciates the ease of clean and that it feels solid and well-made. It's also designed to fit on a divan, which makes it an ideal option for those who have little space. Additionally, it comes with an easy-to-carry bag that you can take with you when you're travelling. A perfect all-rounder.
