Safety

A bedside cot crib is an innovative crib that connects seamlessly to the parents' bed to provide a comfortable method for them to take care of their infant at night. This crib lets them access their child easily so that they can feed and comfort them without having to leave the bed, which is helpful for new parents who suffer from sleep apnea during those early years. It also helps to promote a healthy growth of the baby by providing a safe and comfortable environment for sleeping.

A high-quality bedside cot crib should have a sturdy connection and anti-slip design for the foot of the bed, which helps to reduce the chance of accidents that could potentially cause harm to your baby. The cribs also have safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is secure and protected while they sleep. Check that the mattress that comes in your crib is firm and not soft. Also, check for any gaps or holes that could increase your child's danger of suffocation.

Also, you should avoid using pillows, duvets, or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they're made specifically for use in conjunction with a cot or a crib, as they can pose an immediate danger and not meet safety standards. You should also ensure that any playthings your child plays with in the crib is securely attached and does not protrude out too far.

Ask other parents for their advice when you're not sure about specific pieces of equipment. Also, search for products that are modern and meet the current safety standards instead of those that have been handed down or second-hand. If you're planning to purchase an older crib, make sure you check it thoroughly for damages and ensure that all parts are there before you buy it.

Firm mattresses are one of the most important aspects to look for when choosing a crib.

A mattress that is firm is better for your baby as it's more comfortable and aids in healthy spinal growth.

Can it be cleaned with a machine or does it require a hand-washable mattress cover? How big is the bed and can you lower or raise it to accommodate? It is easy to move, but how heavy is it?

Another alternative to consider is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket category.
