Quite like the idea of a side-by-side crib but totally confused about the safety aspect. You don't want to leave baby unattended with side down, but they all seem to involve a HUGE faff to get the side up and down while they're attached to bed. I'm also a very fidgety sleeper and am worried about throwing duvet onto baby, or flailing my arm out or something.
So I want a bedside crib where I can raise the side while I'm asleep / nip to loo etc, but lower it quickly in order to reach out to baby.
So far the only way to do this seems to be to not have the crib secured to the bed. This would obviously mean having the side up nearly all the time for safety, which is fine for the above reasons BUT means that when I do lower the side I wouldn't be able to move baby over to me for feeding without getting up. Only a crib that attaches to the side of the bed and makes a continuous surface with my bed would allow me to do that. Hence the dilemma.
Any suggestions? It seems the Brio would have done this but it long discontinued.
