Snuzpod v Chicco next to me

[SpringDream]

Does anyone have any recommendations as to which crib is best?

Had a chicco, would highly recommend didn't have any issues with it at all. Think you'll find some like one and some like the other and not too many have used both to compare!!

Neither Tutti Bambini Cozee

I'm reusing a Snuzpod that I had for DC1, but I'd get a Cozee if I was buying again. It folds up easily so can be used as a travel cot. And I just prefer it to the Next2Me.

Do check the dimensions of each one, depending on the space in your room you might find that one fits better than another. IIRC I think the Snuzpod is quite narrow, Next2Me is wide and Cozee is in the middle, not sure though.

I wouldn’t go Chicco.. we have one and the mattress is really hard.. I had the grey one and it wasn’t very aesthetically pleasing.. there’s labels inside it which I didn’t like and it was difficult to attach it to the bed.. I’m not sure about the snuzpod but that would be my choice if I had another.

We used a Snuzpod and liked it. Easy to fix to our bed. Only thing is I found it quite heavy and cumbersome so if you are planning to use it as a bed for the baby downstairs in the first months then it can be hard to carry it upstairs when you go to bed.

We also got on really well with Tutti Bambini Cozee

So these are the different mattress widths:
Snuzpod4 40cm
Next2Me 50cm
Cozee 51cm
Not sure what the external dimensions are but not much more, I imagine.

Also check compatibility with the height of your bed.

I've had both! The snuzpod was much more aesthetically pleasing but much smaller than the chicco. My DCs have all been pretty big 9lb ers so grew out quite quick. The chicco is ugly but a better size for baby and I like that you can easily raise one side of you have a refleuxy baby. I bought a new matress for the chicco from little green so can't comment on if the box one was any good or not.

That's why I like the Cozee, similar size to the Next2Me but much more aesthetically pleasing!

They can all tilt now, the latest version of the Snuzpod has a tilt option whereas the older ones didn't.

I had a next to me and found the mattress to be really hard. Switched to a snuz pod and really liked it. X
