Chicco or Graco next to me crib

[Lunalovegod]

I'd been looking at the Chicco next to me crib for baby, due in 5 weeks, but I've just seen that the Graco next to me is half the price.
Which would you all recommend? Is there anything that makes the Chicco crib any better for that price difference?

I don't know about Graco so I'm sorry what I'm adding to this might be a bit useless😂 BUT I did buy the Babylo bedside crib and then subsequently was given a secondhand Chicco next to me which I ended up using downstairs. I wouldn't say there was any difference at all and certainly wouldn't spend the money on the Chicco in comparison to a cheaper one if I was to do it all again. Are there any shops near you that have them set up so you could look and get a feel for them maybe?

if moneys tight I wouldn’t bother.

I hated it in general as we have carpets and it just didn’t roll. So used a basinette or a pod thing on the bed then cot at 6m

if you have wooden floors in the bedroom it is fine.

there’s not much in it between the brands

Go for the cheaper one
My chicco became an expensive ironing basket the first twice. I'm not even getting it out of the loft this time.

No experience of the Graco but got a chicco next to me almost 5 years ago and my 2 kids each slept well in it until around 6ish months when they moved to a cot (but they were both natural cot sleepers rather than contact mappers from birth, would actually attempt to launch themselves out of your arms when they wanted to sleep) Gave it to my sister Rex who is now using it for my niece who also apparently sleeps well in it overnight. Just got a new mattress for each baby, so definitely feel we got our moneys worth from it
