A bedside crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper or bedside bassinet, is specifically designed infant sleeping solution that allows your baby to sleep beside your bed. These cribs are portable, compact and easy to move around. They're also a great choice if you have limited space at home or you plan to travel with your baby.
In contrast to regular cribs for babies, bedside cribs are designed to attach to the side of your bed so that you can easily carry your baby out and back in for night feedings and comfort. They typically include a drop down side that's ideal for easy lifting and also have tilt and height adjustments. Some cribs are even converted into full cribs as your child grows, providing you with extra longevity and value.
Our mom testers are enthralled by the light and portable nature of these sleeping solutions, making them ideal for traveling. "It's very compact and small which means it can fit in its own travel bag and be transported throughout the house with ease," says one mum. "My husband can carry it upstairs and down with ease."

Gulhan Arapoglu agrees that it's easy to move and feels sturdy. She adds that it's a bit bigger than other cradles that are used for bedside use and not recommended for babies who might flip or roll.
They're comfy
The best bedside cribs allow newborns to sleep close to their parents, but in a separate sleeping area. They're typically smaller than a Moses Basket or a standard crib and can be folded and stored away when not in use. They're also more accessible for nighttime feeds, nappy changes and relaxing. This makes them ideal for new mothers recovering from a csection because they won't need to bend down as much to look after their little one during the night.
The crib is also a great option for parents who are concerned about the risks associated with co-sleeping. This is due to the fact that the crib is closer to the parent's bed and has a lower chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than sleeping in a regular bassinet or cot. This kind of secure, co-sleeping, also known as "rooming in" is crucial for a baby's development.
