Easy to clean
Find cribs with mattress covers that can be washed with the machine while looking at bedside cribs or travel cots. This will keep it clean and free of dribbles spills, and leaky diapers. It's important to select a model that can be disassembled and partially dismantled, so you can get into every nook and cranny for an extensive cleaning and sanitising.
This is important, as it's the best way to make sure that all germs and dirt have been removed. Make sure that the sides of the crib are secure so that your baby cannot fall down or get trapped.
Apart from being easy to clean, you'll want a crib for your bed that is comfortable for your baby and will fit comfortably into your bed. This is especially important if you're using a bedside crib for co-sleeping. These cribs are designed to be attached securely to the parent's side, allowing parents to have easy access to their child throughout the night to feed and comfort their baby while still ensuring the security that separate sleeping surfaces offer.
Another thing to consider when selecting a crib for your bed is whether it has any additional features you might consider useful. For instance, some cribs have the ability to rock (useful for babies who are fussy) or tilt, but keep in mind that you should use this feature with care as it could be dangerous if your child gets out of the crib.
It is also important to ensure that your cot or crib has a firm and flat mattress that is snugly inserted into the frame. This will lower the risk of SIDS by making sure that your baby's head and feet do not slide into gaps or folds in the bedding.
It's a good idea to purchase a brand new mattress for your crib or travel cot, rather than using one that was used previously or purchased second-hand. Mattresses that have been used are more likely to lose their shape over time and can increase the risk of SIDS. All new cribs must meet BS EN 1130:2019, the most recent standard that introduces more stringent requirements for safe and effective sleep solutions.
