Bedside Cot Reviews
A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet) is placed next to your bed, to allow you to be able to tend to baby during night feeds and diaper changes without getting out of bed. These cribs are ideal to help develop independence for your child as they grow more comfortable in their own bed.

The Joie Roomie Glide crib is an ideal bedside crib that allows parents to stay with their baby while ensuring that they are safe to sleep. The smooth glide motion helps to soothe your baby to sleep. Its innovative features ensure that you can keep an eye on your baby without leaving your own bed.

One thing to bear in mind is that although this crib is ideal for babies, it won't last long once your little one turns six months old, and you will have to purchase a bigger cot. But, in general Roanna felt that the Joie Roomie Glide was a very good purchase and she particularly liked its elegant design.
John Lewis sells the Roomie Glide for PS160. Roanna thought this was a reasonable price for a cot. She also liked the way it was positioned in the bedroom and thought that its grey colour would suit most modern homes. She also mentioned that it's not a good idea to rock a baby in the early years because it can create an unhealthy sleep pattern that can be difficult to overcome later.

We love that it's constructed of soft materials that have breathable mesh sides that promote airflow and ease of use. It's available in charcoal and oak, with a range of melange fabrics that work well with a variety of decor styles. Anna found it to be sturdy and secure when affixed to her bed with the legs securely snapping into the bed and the zips secured for baby-safety. It took Anna about 10 minutes to put together and did not require any tools. There are clear instructions as well as a video, and a customer support number in case you have any problems.

It's also more adjustable than the previous model, with 11 different height settings as well as legs that retract to fit underneath any bed.
Our testers loved the ease of access to the side panel that can be moved up and down by pressing the button. This was particularly helpful during nighttime feedings as they could reach inside and pick their baby up without disturbing them.
It is possible to lower the side panel itself but this is not advised, since it increases the likelihood that your child could get out of the cot. However, the patented safety locking mechanism means that it can only remain in place when it is attached to the bed of the parent correctly. This feature is great to have peace of mind when you breastfeed and require frequent night feeds.

The Next2Me Magic was easy to use and set up for our test subjects even with the lengthy instruction manual. It's a bit heavier than some of the other side-sleepers, but it's fairly portable and can be moved from room room easily. It's small enough to be able to fit in a travel bag when not in use which is a plus when you have to transport it. The only issue our testers found was that the side panel didn't flex like some of the other models, which made it a little harder to observe your child from your own bed.

The kit for converting cots is also well designed, with clear instructions. It comes with everything you need. It took us about an hour to assemble, and was fairly simple to put together. The only drawback was the lack of captions written on a few of the images, which made it difficult to understand certain steps. Overall, the procedure was simple and the materials used were of top quality.
The Shnuggle Air is a great choice for women who are breastfeeding or have had C-sections. It allows them to reach out and hold their baby for comfort and feeding without having to leave their bed.

The drop-down sides make it easy to feed or soothe babies throughout the night. This was a big selling point for our exhausted moms who took part in our tests. While it doesn't rock or come with extra features, like a sound machine, the Joie Roomie Slide's sleek design and functional features are a welcome addition to our best bedside crib reviews.
