Easy to clean If you're looking at bedside cribs and travel cots make sure they have a mattress cover that is removable that can be machine-washed. This will keep it clean and free of dribbles, leaky diapers, and spit-up. You should also choose a model that is easily disassembled so you can clean and disinfect every nook and cranny. This is crucial, as it will ensure that all dirt and germs have been eliminated. Verify that the sides of the crib are securely secured so that your baby cannot slide off or become trapped. Apart from being easy to clean, you'll want a bedside crib that is comfortable for your baby and will fit comfortably into your bed.

These cribs are designed to be tethered securely to the parent's side, giving parents to easily access to their child during the night to feed and comfort their baby while still ensuring the safety that separate sleeping surfaces provide. When you are choosing a crib to put at your bed take into consideration whether it has additional features that might be useful to you. Some cribs tilt or rock, which is great for babies who are fussy. It is also important to make sure that your crib or travel cot has a firm and flat mattress that is snugly inserted into the frame. This will decrease the chance of SIDS by ensuring that your baby's feet and head don't slide down into any gaps or folds in the bedding.
