MFM parent tester Hannah adds, “This is excellent quality and innovative, offering far more versatility than a standard cot bed. When used in bedside mode one of the side panels is removed, but when this is put back in position, the Chicco Next 2 Me can also be used as a stand alone crib in other parts of the home. The mattress comes out in two sections, as demonstrated in the instruction book, allowing the cover to be machine washed. Arguably, this is the most transportable Next2Me crib as it is the lightest one with 4 wheels, so that's something to bear in mind if you're after something especially mobile.

While the image of slumbering peacefully in bed next to your scrumptious newborn is the vision for most expectant parents, unfortunately the risks associated with having baby in bed can cause many parents to pass up co-sleeping. The Hauck Face to Me 2 in Melange Grey is a height-adjustable bedside crib with a special anti-reflux position, that provides better sleep for your baby.

I know one mum who didn’t think it made a difference to her baby’s reflux, but other reviewers have been more positive.I imagine most people would still be using the crib in the co-sleeping mode at the newborn stage while they’re still feeding so often, rather than the standalone cot mode. Our bedside sleeper is height adjustable to match your bed with breathable mesh sides and INCLUDED extra breathable mattress to maximise airflow. It’s like having the baby in bed without having the baby in bed, this cot has saved time on those sleepless nights and I wish I had one on my other children! This is thanks to the five-step mattress height adjustment and the smooth adjustment of the distance to the parents' bed. It’s easy to see the baby through the mesh panels, but I found the solid fabric corners slightly obscure the view of the baby from the bed.
