Why You Should Focus On Improving Bedside Crib
Buying a Bedside Crib For Travel

The size of this crib is ideal for moms. It's bigger than a Moses Basket but smaller than a Cot Bed. It can fold down to a third of its original size, and can fit into a convenient travel bag, making it ideal for travel.

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

Safety

When you are looking for a travel crib, you'll want to make sure the manufacturer meets all safety standards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) site is an excellent place to start. It will let you know if a portable crib has ever been recall. You'll also want to choose a mattress that is the right size for your baby's bed, so it doesn't slip into the gaps between the crib's sides or cause suffocation hazards.


Find bassinets or cribs that meet the updated safety standards of 2022. Avoid cribs with older designs and modified for travel or cribs with drop-sides. These cribs have not been tested and could cause danger to your baby's safety.

A travel crib should be sturdy and well-constructed. Make sure there aren't any loose, missing or broken screws, as well as other hardware. If you're using a playard, it should have a secure wall and mesh windows to ensure proper air flow. The slats on the crib should be spaced no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to prevent baby's head or legs from getting trapped. Don't put any pillows, blankets toys, stuffed animals or other items in the crib. These objects can cause strangulation or death to your baby. They should be removed at the time they are able to stand on their own or before the age of 5 months.

Examine often for broken or loose screws and other hardware. This is particularly important when traveling with a baby. Remove all plastic from the crib too.

If you're using a portable baby crib ensure that it's not placed directly in front of the large windows. A window is an accident hazard and if your baby falls into it, they may be injured. It is recommended to keep your baby's room away from windows, even when they are old enough to roll over. If your child begins to roll over in bed, it's a good idea to awake them to prevent injury.

Portability

If you're planning a trip to a holiday, have relatives staying over, or simply need a secure bedside crib for sleepovers with your friends, a portable crib (or playard or playard, as they're sometimes called) is a great choice. These portable cribs come with an extremely comfortable mattress that can accommodate infants up to 15kg. They are simple to assemble and compact when closed.

MFM home testers love the BabyBjorn travel crib due to the fact that it's easy to fold and put away. Its easy drop-down panels that are one-handed are also convenient for parents who are bleary-eyed. It's not the lightest backpack on our list however it's a decent weight at just a little over 15 pounds, and it features standard carry handles instead of an e-bag strap, which some prefer to carry around.

The Joie Kubbie Sleep is another excellent alternative. It incorporates a bedside bassinet as well as a crib into one compact unit. It is ideal for holidays and overnight stays with friends and family. It's not the cheapest option however it has various features, such as a basket for storage, soothing night lights that change color, lullabies, and white noise to aid your child to fall asleep.

It's also easy to clean, with machine-washable and wipeable fabrics. It's also relatively lightweight at just 12 kilos, and fits neatly into the small, compact travel case that comes with it. It has six different height settings, as well as the ability to tilt the tummy for reflux/colic babies. It's suitable for any size bed. It's also very simple to set up. Our MFM tester was able to set it up in only 10 minutes. You'll need to purchase an additional mattress however.

Feeding

It's crucial that your baby is safe and comfortable when you travel, whether on pleasure or business. It is better to buy a bassinet or crib designed for travel instead of using one you already have. They are smaller and have mesh sides so parents can check on their baby without disturbing them. They are also lightweight for easy transportation between destinations. They also meet the safety standards of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and have not been recalled.

If you have to use a crib that is placed at your bedside it is recommended that your infant be placed on their back and that the bed be free of blankets, pillows and animals stuffed. Co-sleeping can increase the chance of SIDS. If you do have to sleep with your partner at times ensure that your baby is sleeping and that you and your partner are fully dressed and awake.

The kinds of cribs available for newborns and young babies include:

Some are designed to resemble a mini crib or a Moses basket, while others have sides that can be set down into the bed of the parent. This gives parents access to the baby to feed and comfort without exposing the risk of true co-sleeping, which the AAP recommends against due to suffocation risks. The Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet is a bedside sleeper that is attached to the mattress of a parent. It is a good choice for older children, as the sides can be elevated so that you can reach the baby without having to lift them from the bed. The travel cot that has built-in cribs that is removable allows you to raise a sleeping baby to allow feeding or other care.

Sleeping

Bedside cribs are an excellent method to sleep in a safe environment with your newborn. They are placed next to your bed to allow you to easily reach them for feedings and check on their sleeping without disrupting them. Some cribs come with drop-sides that you can lower for this purpose, whereas others come with a height adjustment, so they can be placed in your bed at home and when you go away.

It was previously recommended that infants be in their own room. However parents are increasingly opting to sleep with their children. This arrangement, also referred to as rooming in, allows babies to stay close to their parents while remaining safely separated in their own crib or bassinet. There are several types of co-sleeper available like the iCrib, which is designed to be a portable crib that fits on the top of your bed or a regular crib. This model includes a light frame, a removable mattress, and can be folded up for easy storage. It also comes with the Joie Roomie Go crib, that can be attached to the edge of a bed and has 7 height settings that can be adjusted and a tummy tilt to help with reflux and colic. Our MFM home testers loved the crib for its compact folding and easy to use. It is also available in a variety of colors.

There are also freestanding bedside travel crib for bedside use, such as our Lilly and Alain cribs, that can be put next to the traditional bed frame. These have a movable side barrier that can slide down to allow you to take your baby to a evening feeding, however the crib is self-contained and your baby will sleep soundly throughout this time. These cribs meet the latest BS EN1130:2019 safety standards which require a 120mm barrier between your mattress and child's cot.

Additionally, there are travel cribs that are specifically made to be carried on the road. They are typically smaller and less bulky than standard cribs, which makes it easier to transport them into and out of cars and hotels. The Munchkin Brica travel crib, for instance, can be set up and put down in less than one minute, and weighs just three pounds, making it easy to lift and carry.
