A bedside crib is a cot that resembles a bassinet that can be attached to your bed and lets you access your baby for night feedings or to soothe them to sleep. They're particularly useful for mothers recovering from C-section births.

Our parents who tested it praised the SnuzPod 4, with many technical features for parents with busy schedules, including a reflux incline setting and the soothing centre that has an amber nightlight and floorlight with 2 vibration levels. It's also lightweight and can easily be moved from room to room.

Safety

A bedside crib (also called a baby bassinet or co-sleeper) allows your child to rest with you at night, but in their own crib, thereby keeping them safe from the risk of overheating and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Follow the manufacturer's instructions for weight limits and make sure that your child's bed is a good fit. It is crucial to avoid gaps as they could increase the risk of entrapment. This is a major danger. It is also essential to clear the crib of any items that could pose the risk of suffocation, such as blankets, pillows and toys.

Look for cribs that have mesh sides that you can see your child through, and a sturdy air-conditioned, flat, and comfortable mattress. The slats must be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart and the headboard should not be higher than the footboard. This will keep your baby from climbing out of the crib. A lot of cribs come with a built-in changer, shelves for storing diapers and wipes as well with music, rockers and night lights. These are all great features however, your baby should stay in the crib until they can stand or sit up. This usually happens around 6 months.

It is also advisable to select a crib with no corner posts. They can be dangerous for your baby because they create spaces where their limbs and heads might be trapped. Take care to remove these posts from your crib to stop your child from becoming entangled with their toys or clothes. Also, ensure that you keep the crib free of window blind and drape cords as your baby may become entangled and fall or be strangled.

If you're using a second-hand cot, check that it's safe to use. It should not have any rough surfaces, holes or peeling paint and should be solid and in good condition with no loose parts. It is also crucial to ensure that the cot bedside was stripped down and repainted. Cots made before 1973 may have contained leaded paint, which could be harmful to babies.

User-Friendliness

These are an excellent option for parents who have a hard time getting out of the bed to feed their infant or soothe them at night, particularly after a difficult delivery. They can also double as a Moses basket or a carrycot for infants to offer secure and flexible sleeping arrangements away from the crib.

Bedside cribs attach securely to the parent's side using a strap. Some come with the ability to swivel, and have adjustable height settings, which means they can be used with various kinds of beds or types. Some have mesh sides to improve airflow and visibility. Some models have sides that can be lowered or removed to give parents direct access to their child. This is beneficial for feeding at night and calming.

Some cribs can be tilted one end to encourage the natural sleep position that is safe for babies suffering from reflux, colic, and other digestive issues. However it is recommended to use this method with extreme caution and only with the guidance of a medical professional.

MFM home test Jasmine loved the crib's size - "it is a lot larger than other Moses baskets and feels sturdy and rugged - a little like an investment piece but not too expensive to be unaffordable." Jasmine also appreciated its ease of use, especially its swivel bottom she said: "You just spin it around if you need to reach over to look over your babyand when you're ready to sleep, you simply pull it back."

Another thing she was impressed with was the ease to shut and open the door from outside, particularly when she was bleary-eyed in the dark. She also liked the amount of space within the crib to store blankets, nappies and other essentials. She also liked that the mattress felt comfy and was a decent size compared to other cribs that we tested. She added: "Plus, the sheets are easily washable - which is a major plus in the event that you're exhausted from every meal!".

Portability

A bedside crib could be set right next to a parent's bed. This makes it easier for parents to reach their baby at night to comfort them or breastfeed. It also helps prevent baby rolling over, which could often lead to death. A good quality crib should have sides that can be easily accessible, making it easy for parents with a bleary eye at the end of the night, and also a mesh window to monitor your baby bedside co sleeper.

The SnuzPod 4 is a popular choice, with its stylish Scandi design and great price tag. It is available in a variety of colors, including gender neutral grey and wood effect, and is specifically designed to work with divan beds, although you may require a longer strap to make it compatible with your mattress. The opening side panel and the anti-reflux incline and adjustable mattress heights make it easy to use, even for new parents.

It's heavier than some of the other crib options and it's not able to fold down completely flat, but it's still an ideal size to fit in its handy carry bag for travelling. Mum on the BabyCentre forums says it's easy to set up, with clear instructions and simple mechanisms. However, she points out that the fabric is susceptible to creasing when pulled out of its bag to travel.

You can also opt for the Joie Roomie Glide, which is a rocking bedside crib cot with wheels, which makes it more manageable, and it folds down completely flat. It is a little more expensive than the SnuzPod but it has a few extra features, such as an adjustable shelf for storage, 6 different height adjustments, and an option to reflux inclined. It also has a zip-up mesh window to make cleaning easy and a durable, breathable mattress, although some mums felt it was a bit shallower than other options.

Style

A bedside crib is known as a "co-sleeper" and is designed to fit right next to your bed. It allows you to view and reach your baby at night, which helps with feeding your baby at night and changing nappy. It is ideal for parents who want to keep their babies close but do not want to risk drowning or overheating. It's also a great option for couples who don't share the bedroom with their child.

There are a number of different styles you can choose from. Some have an upper and lower panel that is able to be lowered to let you see and touch your baby throughout the night, but it also prevents the possibility of bed sharing. Others have a pop-up design that lowers to let you take your baby out of the crib, but then raises again automatically.

You'll have to consider the dimensions of your crib as well as your bed. Some are slimmer and more compact than others, which could be crucial if space is restricted in your home. Some are larger and more durable, which is great for older babies who might be beginning to roll over or pull themselves up in the night.

Choose a crib with mesh windows, breathable fabric and easy-to-clean surfaces. Some have a removable mattress that is machine-washable and comes with a sheet, which makes it easier to clean than the typical cot mattress. Some models have an anti-reflux feature which can be beneficial for reflux sufferers.

The safest and most practical options are those that fasten securely to the bed of your parents with straps or an locking mechanism that holds it in place when in use. Some cribs have adjustable legs to be able to work with different bed heights. This could be useful in the case of a divan or other unusually-shaped bed. It is also possible to consider a crib that has an adjustable 4th wall that could be used as a playpen or as a babysitter during the day.
