Hello 
We are expecting our first in May. Went to look at cribs but can't work out what we need! Can you help?
I want a crib I can strap to the bed and sleep with the side down (hope to con the baby into thinking it is cosleeping as our bed isn't massive). We will also get a sleepyhead. It sounds like you need to put the crib side up again if you're out of the room? And tilting sounds like a good idea but maybe a wedge is as good as a crib that tilts?
Snuzpod: side is easy to zip up and down, doesn't tilt, says you can't sleep all night with side down.
Chicco: tilts, says you can sleep with side down, but you can't zip the side up without unstrapping it.
Bednest: tilts, you can sleep
with side down, easy to zip
up and down. But the instructions say you can't put anything like a sleepyhead in it, or the sides won't be high enough (I imagine this is related to the poor baby who died, though the sides don't half-fold any more).
Meanwhile - they are also all a lot more expensive than normal cribs! I guess I could take the side entirely off a normal crib and strap it to the bed...but then wouldn't be able to leave the room if baby was in it, same as with the chicco...
Would love advice!
