Chicco Magic Next to Me Crib

[Rosemary2022]

Hi - does anyone have this crib?

Interested in what people thought of it. Also, what colour did you go for? The cool grey and moon grey look very similar online.

Thanks

Yes, we went for this one and I would thoroughly recommend - although I bet you get a good 50/50 split of posts where people bought it and baby hated it. Babies are fickle.

DS2 was a big baby and he was too large for it at 6/7 months, moving to a cot in our room after that.

Theoretically, it’s great. It was a PITA to build, but once up, it looked great.

DS absolutely point blank refused to go in it as a newborn though, so it was a massive waste of money for us. Became a very expensive bedside table while DS slept in my bed, before progressing to his proper cot. We now loan ours out to friends so they don’t do like us and commit a load of money to something that ends up being useless.

We got a chicco bedside crib..not sure if it's similar but I'd totally recommend it. We used it with all four sides up so didn't mimic co sleeping but ds really liked it.

I found it fantastic. It was no miracle, my baby was a normal baby who demanded to be held and cuddled at all times so she wouldn't just go down in it. But the battle to get her sleeping in a cot was definitely much more achievable once I switched from a stand-alone cot to the Next2Me. Being able to cuddle her and rub her belly when she started fussing without having to get up myself was a game changer.
