Ease of access A bedside crib (also called a bedside bassinet or co-sleeper) is a specifically-designed sleep solution that allows parents to keep their children close, without the risks associated with co-sleeping. It can be especially helpful for mothers who have had C-sections while they recover and help them get into the swing with their child. While it's a fantastic opportunity to begin sharing your space with your baby but you must consider certain things when buying one. In general you should ensure that the crib is secured with an enclosure of 12cm to prevent your baby from rolling over onto the other side of the bed. It should have a drop-down section that is easy to reach, so you can pick up your baby at any time during the night, whether for comforting or feeding. The most highly-rated crib we've seen is the SnuzPod 4. It's the top-selling crib worldwide due to its Scandi design and array of features, including the "ComfortAir" technology that assists in regulating temperature and maximise airflow. The HALO BassiNest Essentia is also a popular choice. It has an adjustable sleeping space that can be swiveled and the sidewall can be easily removed so you can reach inside to pick up baby or comfort them.

When buying an upholstered bedside cot, bassinet or crib, ensure that it has a solid and flat mattress. Any gaps could cause death. Make sure the crib frame is solid and the slats don't exceed 3/8 inches. Check that the mattress meets size regulations set out by EN 16890 and has been tested for strength, stability and firmness. You should also avoid adding any items to your newborn's crib that increase the danger of entrapment, suffocation or strangulation like pillows, blankets and stuffed animals, unless they're specifically designed for sleeping. Also, avoid any sleep wedges or positioners since they're not clinically proved to improve sleep, and could pose danger to your infant. It's better to buy a crib with fixed sides rather than drop sides. They are safer. Avoid cribs that have mobiles attached, as they can create a strangulation or choking risk to your baby if the cord or string becomes entangled. Be certain to verify that your crib's hardware is free of any sharp edges which could hurt or scratch your child. In addition, make sure that the crib's mattress and bedding are securely secured and that there aren't broken or loose screws and brackets, buckles, or snaps.

The seal can be found by searching for a product category on JPMA's Certification Directory.
