Buying a Travel Bedside Crib

Having a machine-washable mattress cover is crucial for those times when your baby has a messy accident or you need to freshen up the crib after trips. This cover is perfect for this and comes with a simple travel bag.

It features a clever incline option that helps to ease reflux, and works with divan beds as well as framed bed frames. It also comes with the ability to breathe through the mesh sides and help regulate your baby's temperature during sleep.

Safety

A crib that is placed near the bed can free space for new parents. It's safe for your baby to sleep close proximity to you, but without the danger of sharing a bed (which can lead to the risk of suffocation). Bedside cribs allow you to comfort them at night and access them to feed or comfort them without the need to get out of bed, which is particularly useful during recovery following an c-section birth.

These cribs are also a great choice for older children who aren't big enough to fit in a toddler bed. It's important that the crib you have at your side is compliant with the most current safety standards. Search for a model which complies with BS EN1130:2019. This requires a minimum of 120mm between the crib mattress and yours, to stop your child rolling onto your bed.

Look for a crib that allows you to place your baby's feet on the bottom of the bed. This will make them feel more at ease and decrease the chance of them being trapped under the covers. Certain models allow you to tilt the crib, which can be helpful for babies with digestive issues like reflux or colic. But be aware that tilting the crib can increase the risk of your baby falling out, so it should be used with great care and only on the guidance of your doctor or health professional.

When not in use, a travel crib must be thoroughly cleaned prior to when it's packed away. This includes wiping down the mattress, any bedding and any fabric covers, plus cleaning any waterproof areas. It's important to do this in order to avoid introducing bacteria or mould into the baby's sleep environment. Be sure to clean any parts that are removable and wash them regularly too. Also, you should check the crib for signs that it is worn out and clean any fabric that have come in contact with urine and faeces. These can become dirty and lead to infections. You should do this every time you use the crib as well as before placing it in storage.

Sleeping in

A bedside crib allows you to keep your child close as you sleep. It is a safe way to sleep in a cosleep position and can be used as an independent crib or travel crib when staying with grandparents or on vacation. You can choose between various models that suit the height of your bed. Some are designed to fit on divan beds, while others are attached to the bedside as a sidecar.

A great bedside crib is one that is simple to clean. It should have a mattress that can be removed and be machine washable. Also, you should look for mattresses that are breathable, keeping your baby cool and comfortable. Some of the best bedside cot for newborn cribs also come with an incline for reflux in babies suffering from acid reflux.

You should always adhere to the Safe Sleep guidance provided by the Lullaby Trust and ensure your baby's crib is secure and there are no gaps between the adult mattress and the crib. You can also consider a side-car baby crib like the Chicco Next2Me. It is simple to put together and comes with a travel bag. This is a popular choice with MFM users who found it be the most portable and light of the newborn bedside cot cribs we tested.

While it is completely safe to cosleep in the crib, you must be aware that this might not be the most relaxing option for prolonged durations of time and may cause back discomfort. It is important to note that these cribs are only suitable for a period of 6 months, after which you'll have to move them to a regular moses basket or cot.

You should also be wary of a model with a drop-down barrier that drops all up to your mattress. This could result in your baby rolling out of the crib onto your mattress, which isn't recommended. The majority of new cribs for bed will come with a half-height barrier that is lower than the mattress to help prevent this from happening. One of our MFM testers discovered that the feature was not as easy to use as expected, but it was still beneficial for her family.

Buying a used crib

Second-hand baby items are an excellent way to save money for new parents. Consignment shops, flea markets and thrift stores are great places to locate baby items at a fraction the cost of retail.

Travel cribs are among the products for babies that you should never buy second-hand. It's difficult to tell if a crib has been involved in an accident, but certain cribs may have. This could make it unsafe. Additionally, a used crib mattress may have set-in stains and mold, as well as hidden depressions or indentations that can pose suffocation hazards for babies.

If you are in the market for a used crib for your baby, opt for one with mesh side panels and mattresses that are firm.

If the manual is not available, you might find a copy on the internet.

Although some parents sell their travel cribs when their child moves out of them, this is an unwise choice. A used crib mattress can be prone to suffocation over time, and is often filled with bacteria. Press your hands firmly into the mattress to check for cleanliness.
