Easy to clean If you're considering bedside cribs and travel cots be sure to look for models that come with a mattress cover that can be machine-washed. This will help keep it clean from spills, nappies, baby sick and drips. You should also choose one that is easily disassembled so you can clean and disinfect all the nooks. This is vital, since it will ensure that all germs and dirt have been removed. It is also important to ensure that the crib's sides are securely attached, so there aren't any gaps or spaces that your child could slip down or become trapped. Aside from being easy to clean, you'll need a crib for your bed that is comfortable for your baby and fits well with your bed. This is particularly important when you're using a bedside crib that sleeps with your child. These cribs are designed to be connected securely to the parent's side, which gives parents to easily access to their child throughout the night to feed and comfort them, while ensuring the safety that separate sleeping areas provide. When you are choosing a crib to put at your bedside, you should also consider whether it has additional features that may be beneficial to you. For instance, some cribs come with the ability to rock (useful for babies who are fussy) or tilt, but remember that you should only utilize this feature with care because it could be dangerous if your child gets out of the crib. It is also important to make sure that your crib or travel cot is a flat and firm mattress that fits snugly in the frame. This will reduce the risk of SIDS by ensuring that your baby's feet and head aren't slipping into gaps or folds in the bedding. It's also a good idea to buy a new mattress for your cot, crib or travel bed instead of using one handed down from someone else or purchased second-hand. Mattresses that have been used are more susceptible to lose their shape with time which increases the risk of SIDS. All new cribs must meet BS EN1130:2019. This is the most recent standard, which introduces more stringent requirements to ensure the safety of your sleep and provide effective solutions.
