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 allow you to keep it clean from leaky nappies, sick babies and dribbles. You should also select an item that can be easily disassembled to allow you to clean and disinfect all the nooks.

This is essential, as it will ensure that all germs and dirt have been cleared away. Verify that the sides of the crib are secure to ensure that your baby won't fall down or get trapped.

You'll also want to make sure that the crib is easy to clean and that it is a good fit for your bed. This is particularly important if you are using a bedside cots crib for co-sleeping. They are designed to fit securely to the side of the bed for parents, allowing parents to easily access their baby throughout the night to feed or comfort their child while maintaining the safety of separate sleeping areas.

When selecting a crib for your bedroom take into consideration whether it has additional features that might be useful to you. For instance, some cribs have the ability to rock (useful for babies who are fussy) or tilt, but keep in mind that you should make use of this feature with caution because it could be risky if your child is thrown out.

You'll want to ensure that your crib or travel bed has a firm, flat mattress that is snugly fitted into the frame. This will decrease the risk of SIDS because your baby's head and feet won't fall into any gaps or folds in the bedding.

It's a good idea to purchase a new mattress for your crib or travel cot, rather than relying on one that was used previously 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 cribs that are new must meet BS EN1130:2019. This is the most current standard, which introduces stricter requirements to ensure the safety of your sleep and provide effective solutions.
