Mums love this crib's size it's larger than the size of a Moses basket but smaller than a crib bed. It's also foldable down to just a quarter of its original size, and then put in a handy bag for travel.

It is important to remember that the crib should be used only for sleeping. Toys, pillows and blankets are a suffocation hazard.

Safety

When you are looking for a crib for travel, you'll want to make sure that the manufacturer is compliant with all safety standards. The best starting point is the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website, which can let you know whether or not a particular portable crib has been removed from the market. Select a mattress that is suitable for the crib of your child so that it won't fall through the gaps or cause a suffocation risk.

Search for bassinets and cribs that meet the current safety standards of 2022. Avoid cribs that are older or modified for travel or cribs with drop-sides. These cribs haven't been tested, and could be a danger to your baby's safety.

A travel crib needs to be well-built and sturdy. Make sure you check for broken, missing or loose screws and other hardware. If you're using a playard, it should have a secure wall and mesh windows to ensure proper air flow. The slats on the crib should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to keep baby's head and legs from getting trapped. Also, never put pillows, blankets or toys with stuffed animals in the crib. These objects can choke or strangle your baby. They should be removed from the crib at the time your child is able push up on their hands and knees or prior to 5 months old, whichever comes first.

Make sure you check regularly for loose or broken screws and hardware. This is especially important when traveling with a baby. Take all plastic out of the crib, too.

If you're using a portable crib, be sure it is not located right under the window. A window can be a fall hazard and your baby could get hurt in the event that they crash into it. It's best to keep your baby's bedroom away from windows, even when they are old enough to roll over. If your child begins to roll over during sleep, it's a good idea to get them up in order to avoid injury.

Portability

Portable cribs (or playards, as they're sometimes called) are a great choice for those who are going on vacation, having guests over, or simply wanting an appropriate crib for a sleepover with friends. These foldable contraptions have an extremely comfortable mattress that can hold infants up to 15kg. They are simple to assemble and compact when closed.

The BabyBjorn Travel Crib is a favorite among MFM home testers who appreciate the fact that it can be folded down and stored in a few minutes and that its simple one-handed drop-down panels are easy for even bleary-eyed parents to use. It's not the lightest backpack and play, but with just under 15 pounds, it's an adequate weight. It also has regular handles instead of a backpack-style strap that some people find more comfortable.

Another great option is the Joie Kubbie Sleep, which combines a bedside cot mattress crib and bassinet in one compact unit that's ideal for holidays as well as overnight visits to friends and family. It's not the most affordable however it comes with a wealth of all-singing and all-dancing features like a storage basket, soothing colour-changing night lights as well as white noise and lullabies to aid your baby to fall asleep and sleep. Its bassinet sits up higher than most to make it easier to access in the early hours when mum is still recovering.

It's also easy to clean, with machine washable and wipeable fabric. And, despite its size and weight (it's more bulky when open), it's relatively lightweight at just under 12kg and can easily fit into a small, handy bag included ideal for trips away from home. It comes with six different height settings that include the tilt of the tummy for reflux/colic babies, and is able to fit beds of all sizes. It's also incredibly quick to install, with our MFM tester having it up and running in a mere 10 minutes. You'll need to buy an additional mattress, however.

Feeding

It's crucial that your baby is safe and secure when you travel, whether for business or pleasure. It's better to purchase a bassinet or crib designed for travel than to use one that you already own. These are smaller and have mesh sides so parents can check on their baby without causing any disturbance to them. They're also light to make it easy to transport between locations. They also meet the safety standards of American Academy of Pediatrics and have not been recalled.

If you have to use a crib beside your bed it is recommended you put your baby on their back. The mattress should be free of blankets, pillows and toys. This type of co-sleeping increases the chance of SIDS. If you must occasionally co-sleep, make sure that your baby is asleep and that both you and your partner are fully dressed and awake.

The types of bedside cots for newborns cribs that are available for babies and infants include:

Some are shaped like miniature cribs or Moses basket, while others have sides that can be set down into the bed of the parent. This allows access to the baby to feed and comfort while avoiding the risks of true co-sleeping which the AAP cautions against due the risk of suffocation. Examples include the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet, an infant bed that is attached to the sides of a parent's mattress. This is a good option for older children since the sides can be elevated so that you can reach the baby without having to lift them from the bed. Another option is the travel cot that has a built-in bassinet that can be removed from the top of the crib, which makes it easier to lift up the sleeping infant to feed or other care.

Sleeping

bedside crib with wheels cribs are an excellent option to sleep comfortably with your baby. They sit next to your bed during the night, allowing you to reach out easily for feedings at night and monitor them without disrupting their sleep. Some cribs come with a drop-side that can be lowered for this purpose, while others have a height adjustment to ensure they can fit into your bed at home and away.

Previously, it was recommended that infants be in their own room. However parents are increasingly choosing to sleep with their children. Also known as rooming in, this arrangement allows babies to be close to their parents, but remain safe and separate from their own bassinet or crib. There are many types of co-sleeper available such as the iCrib that is designed to be an easy-to-move crib that can be placed on top of your bed or a standard crib. This model comes with a light frame and a removable mattress and can be folded to make it easy for storage. It also comes with the Joie Roomie Go crib, which fastens to the edge of the bed and has 7 height settings that can be adjusted and a tummy tilt for reflux and colic. Our MFM home testers praised the crib for its compact folding and ease of use. It is also available in different colours.

There are also freestanding bedside crib and travel cot cribs like our Lilly or Alain that you can put on top of the standard bed frame. They come with a moveable side barrier that slides down to allow you to pick your baby up for night feeding, but the crib is self-contained and your baby will continue sleeping soundly during this time. They also meet the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements which stipulate that the 120mm high barrier should be present between your mattress and the cot of your child.

There are also cribs for travel available. They are specifically designed to be carried when traveling. They are usually smaller and less bulky than standard cribs and are therefore easier to carry in and out of cars and hotels. The Munchkin Brica travel crib, Bedside Travel crib for instance can be set up and put down in less than a minute and it weighs just 3 pounds, so it is easy to move and carry.
