How to Choose the Right Bedside Crib

Bedside cribs are one of the most practical purchases for new parents, but there are a few key things to check before buying:

  • Bed height compatibility – The most important factor. Measure the height of your mattress from the floor and check the crib's adjustment range. Most bedside cribs adjust between approximately 45–70cm, but this varies by model.
  • Bed frame type – Most cribs attach via straps that loop under your mattress or around your bed frame. Check compatibility with divan beds, slatted frames, and beds with storage drawers before purchasing.
  • Drop-side or zip access – A drop-down or zip-open side panel allows you to reach your baby without getting out of bed – essential for night feeds and settling.
  • Weight and size limit – Most bedside cribs are suitable from birth to approximately 6 months or until your baby can push up on their hands and knees (whichever comes first).
  • Standalone use – Many models convert to a freestanding crib or fold flat for travel, giving you more flexibility as your baby grows.
  • Mattress firmness – Always use the mattress supplied or a firm, flat replacement that fits snugly with no gaps – a key Lullaby Trust safe sleep requirement.

Why Choose a Bedside Crib?

  • Safe co-sleeping alternative – Baby sleeps in their own space while staying within arm's reach for feeding and comfort
  • Supports breastfeeding – Easy nighttime access without fully waking reduces feeding disruption for both parent and baby
  • Adjustable height settings – Aligns perfectly with your bed height for seamless access
  • Breathable mesh sides – Provides excellent ventilation and visibility to monitor your baby
  • Secure attachment system – Straps and brackets ensure the crib stays firmly attached to your bed
  • Portable & versatile – Many models fold flat for travel or convert to standalone cribs

Frequently Asked Questions

A bedside crib is a baby crib designed to attach securely to the side of your bed, with one side that drops down or zips open so you can reach your baby without getting out of bed. It allows your baby to sleep in their own safe sleep space while staying within arm's reach for night feeds and settling. Bedside cribs are safe when used correctly: the crib must be securely attached to your bed frame, the mattress must be firm and flat with no gaps at the edges, and the crib surface must be at the same level as your mattress. The Lullaby Trust recommends babies sleep in the same room as their parents for the first 6 months – a bedside crib is one of the safest ways to achieve this.

Compatibility depends on two things: bed height and bed frame type. Most bedside cribs adjust between approximately 45–70cm from floor to mattress surface, but this varies by model – always measure your mattress height from the floor before purchasing. For bed frame type: most cribs attach via straps that loop under your mattress or around the frame, which works well with slatted frames and most standard beds. Divan beds and beds with storage drawers can be more challenging – check the specific model's compatibility notes. If you have an adjustable or electric bed, check whether the crib can be used safely with it.

Most bedside cribs are suitable from birth until approximately 6 months, or until your baby can push up on their hands and knees or pull themselves to sitting – whichever comes first. At this point, the open side of the crib becomes a safety risk and your baby should move to a cot or cot bed with full sides. The Lullaby Trust also recommends that babies continue to sleep in the same room as their parents until at least 6 months. After transitioning out of the bedside crib, many parents move the crib to standalone mode (if the model supports it) and place it in the same room before eventually moving to a separate nursery.
