Next to me cribs

Any recommendations for next to me cribs? I had a Moses basket for my first daughter but found it wasn't very spacious! We like the look of the maxi cosi lora but would like to look at a few before we buy! Any suggestions welcome!☺️

We had the Chicco next2me and it was fantastic. Lasted both my little ones until they were 6/7 months. I expect they could have stayed in longer if needed

That's good to know thank you! Do they take up much room? We only have a 55cm gap down my side of the bed which it proving to be a pain with finding one!

We had a Snuzpod, think it might be too big for that gap

Another vote for the Chico next to me. Did my daughter until she was 8 months and she still had plenty of room, she only went into the big cot because she kept standing up in the next to me Grin

I have the halo bassinest... a bit pricier than the other ones but I have found it worth its weight in gold!

I think this is where we're going to have a problem finding one!

I have the tutti bambini cozzee crib. Had a Chicco next 2 me with my first a few years ago.

I like both, the only reason we changed it this time was the Chicco didn’t work well at all with our divan. The cozzee crib works great as the legs are the same width as the actual crib bit. It’s got a handy shelf underneath where I keep his sheets and blankets too. The Chicco does let you fold the legs in, but I found it seemed to push the crib away from the bed, even with the safety straps on.

We had a Chico next to me and it was very good. DD2 however was not keen to go down in it to sleep. I also think it was wider than 55cm.

Another vote for Chicco next 2 me! We started off with a moses but swapped to Chicco as our baby outgrew the moses. I’m not sure of the width dimensions but this should be on the manufacturer website. Same as linerforlife we had to swap for a cot around 7/8 months as our baby kept standing up

Another vote for the Chicco!
