Examples include the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet, a bedside sleeper that attaches to the mattress for a parent. This is a great option for older children since the sides can be elevated so that you can reach the baby without having to lift them out of the bed.

It is attached to the bed's edge and has seven height positions, as well as a tummy tilt for reflux and colic. Our MFM home testers praised the crib for its compact folding and ease of use. It is also available in a variety of colors.

They come with a moveable side barrier that slides down so you can take your baby to a night feeding, but the crib is fully enclosed and your baby will sleep soundly throughout this period. These cribs meet the latest BS EN1130 safety standards, which require a 120mm gap between your mattress and the child's cot.
