Buying a Bedside Crib For Travel

The dimensions of this crib are perfect for mums. It's bigger than the Moses Basket but smaller than the Cot Bed. It also can fold down to a third of its original size and fits into a convenient travel bag, making it ideal for travel.

Remember that the crib is only for sleeping. Toys, pillows and blankets can make a child suffocate.

Safety

If you're looking to purchase a travel crib it is important to make sure that the manufacturer complies with all safety standards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) website is the best place to start. It will tell you whether a crib that is portable has ever been recall. Pick a mattress that's suitable for the crib of your child so that it won't slip through the gaps or cause the risk of suffocation.


When choosing the right bassinet or crib choose one that meets the newer safety standards that were revised in 2022. Avoid older cribs and cribs modified for travel or cribs with drop-sides. These cribs haven't been tested and could pose a risk to your baby's safety.

A travel crib must be well-constructed and sturdy. Examine for broken, missing or loose screws, as well as other hardware. If you are using a playard, it must be fitted with mesh windows and strong walls to allow air circulation. The slats on the crib should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to prevent baby's head or legs from getting trapped. Don't put any toys, blankets, or toys that are stuffed with animals in the crib. These objects can choke or drown your baby. They should be removed when they can stand independently or before the age of 5 months.

It's also important to check frequently for loose or broken hardware and screws, especially when traveling with your child. Remove all plastic from the crib, too.

If you're using a portable crib, make sure it's not right under a window. A window could be an injury from falling and your baby could be injured if they roll into it. It is recommended to keep your baby's sleeping space away from windows, even when they are old enough to roll over. It's important to wake up your baby if they begin to sleep on their backs.

Portability

Portable cribs (or playards which is what they're sometimes referred to as) are a great option for those who are going on vacation, having guests over, or simply wanting a safe crib to use at a sleepover with friends. These playards fold up and include an extremely comfortable mattress that can support babies up to 15kg. They are easy to put together and compact when closed.

MFM home testers love the BabyBjorn travel crib because it is easy to fold and store. Its simple drop down panels that can be operated by one hand are also easy for parents who are bleary-eyed. It's not the lightest backpack and play, but at under 15 pounds, it's an acceptable weight. It also comes with normal handles instead of a backpack-style strap, which some find more comfortable.

The Joie Kubbie Sleep is another great option. It incorporates a bedside bassinet as well as a crib into one compact unit. This is perfect for long-term stays and holidays with friends and family. It's not the least expensive one, but it does come with a wealth of features that are all-dancing and all-singing such as a storage basket, soothing colour-changing night lights and white noise. It also has lullabies to help your baby fall asleep and its bassinet is higher than the majority to make it easier to use during the early days when mum is still recovering.

It's also easy to keep clean, with machine washable and wipeable fabric. In spite of its size and weight (it's more bulky when opened), it's relatively lightweight at just under 12kg and can easily fit into a compact, convenient bag included perfect for trips away from home. It comes with six different height settings, including a tummy tilt for reflux/colic babies, and can fit beds of all sizes. It's also very simple to install. Our MFM tester was able to set it up in less than 10 minutes. You'll need to buy an additional mattress for it, however.

Feeding

If you're traveling to work or for pleasure, it's important to keep your baby happy and safe while traveling. While some families might be inclined to use a bassinet or crib that they already own but it's better to purchase one specially designed for travel. These are smaller, with mesh sides that allow parents to monitor their children without disturbing them, and are light enough to allow for easy transport between destinations. They also meet the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and have not been recalled.

If you must use a crib beside your bed it is recommended that you place your baby on their back. The mattress should be free of blankets, pillows and toys. This kind of sleeping arrangement increases the chance of SIDS. If you are forced to co-sleep on occasion, ensure that you only do so when your baby is asleep and you are both awake and fully dressed.

The kinds of cribs available for infants and young children include:

Some are designed as a mini-crib or Moses basket while others have sides that can be lowered into the parents' beds. rocking bedside crib allows access to the baby to feed and comfort while avoiding the risks of true co-sleeping, which the AAP advises against due to the risk of suffocation. Examples include the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet, an infant bed that is attached to the side of a parent's mattress. It is a good choice for older children since the sides can be raised to allow you to reach the infant without lifting them out of the bed. Another option is the travel cot that has an integrated bassinet that can be removed from the top of the crib making it easier to lift up the sleeping infant to feed or other care.

Sleeping

Bedside cribs allow you to co-sleep safely with your baby. They sit next to your bed at night, allowing you to reach out easily to feed them and observe them without disrupting their sleep. Some cribs come with drop-sides that can be lowered to make it easier for you to do this, while others have a height adjustment to ensure they can be placed in your bed at home and when you go away.

It was previously recommended that infants sleep in their own bedroom. However parents are increasingly opting to sleep in a co-sleep. This arrangement, also known as rooming in, allows babies to be close to their parents while remaining safely separated in their own crib or bassinet. There are several types of co-sleeper available such as the iCrib that is designed to be portable and can be placed on top of your bed or a regular crib. This model comes with a light frame and a mattress that can be removed and can be folded to make it easy for storage. The Joie Roomie Go crib is another option. It attaches to the bed edge and comes with seven height positions and a tummy-tilt to ease colic and reflux. The crib was highly praised by our MFM home testers for its ease of use and compact folding. it comes in a range of colours.

You can also purchase freestanding bedside cribs like our Lilly or Alain that you can put on top of a standard bed frame. They come with a moveable side barrier that slides down so you can take your baby to a dinner at night, but the crib is fully enclosed and your baby will sleep soundly throughout this period. These models also meet the new BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements which require that a 120mm high barrier must be present between your mattress and the cot of your child.

Additionally, there are travel cribs that are specifically designed to be used on the road. These are typically much smaller and less bulky than standard cribs and are therefore more convenient to take into and out of cars and hotels. The Munchkin Brica travel crib, for instance can be set up and put down in under one minute, and weighs just three pounds, so it is easy to carry and lift.
