I love this product, it was very easy to assemble and attaches to most beds, we have a king size storage bed that sits low to the ground and it attaches no problem with extra cords for a safe and sturdy attachment.
It is a pricey piece of equipment but lasts a lot longer than most moses baskets and makes night time feeds so easy. especially if breastfeeding!!!
It is great that the next to me crib is so lightweight as it makes it easy to manoeuvre around the house should you need to and has wheels too.

I've used this product since my daughter was born. It is a great product. We have put the crib next to our bed to have our little one next to us. You just unzip the sides and feels like your baby is sleeping with you which I will miss once she goes to bed room.
There is a mesh side in case you wanted to zip the side up and have an eye on your baby.
One side of the legs can fold in so you can out it right next to your bed and there won't be a gap between the two. Mattress is hard but any cot or crib comes with that so no surprise there. Overall I would recommend this to anyone! Great! - Strengths:

I absolutely love having my baby next to my bed where I can see her. This crib is brilliant because you can fold a side down so you have the enjoyment of co-sleeping but without the dangers. It’s easy to fold down and the heights can be adjusted with ease. You can also have it set so it’s elevated.
My only issues is it’s not machine washable and when you have the side down that little lip that’s left behind sinks in the middle so baby could roll out. All in all I think it’s amazing and has so much room. Price wise you get your money worth and you can definitely sell on.

I brought this because I was living in a one bedroom when my baby was born and I needed something small. I have now moved, my baby is nearly 6 months and we still use it. I have had no problems with it. My son had colic for the first 6 weeks and this allowed me quick and easy access to him.
He’s a fussy sleeper so it’s nice and easy to just reach I’ve and rub his belly or give him his dummy. From the day he was born, if I wasn’t close by, my son screamed his head off.
This allows him to see me as he’s falling asleep. Although sometimes when I’m trying to sleep and my son doesn’t want to, I’ll roll over and have 2 eyes beaming at me - Strengths:

I absolutely LOVE this product! Means I can wake up every day knowing my little lady is right next to me and can always see her through the night! It can be used when she is sleeping over at her grandparents! It is however a little awkward when trying to transport as the bag it comes in is not very sturdy and ours has ripped apart!
So much better than as Moses basket as last so much longer!

My LO loves being close to me When she sleeps and I love it too. The chicco next 2 me coy is great for it. She didn’t like her Moses basket but loves this. She’s comfy, can see me and knows she’s safe. However, she will be too big for it soon and she’s only 2 months old. I wish it was a bit bigger or longer so she could stay in it for a while more. - Strengths:

I love my next 2 me crib. I have a very clingy/ cuddly baby who when first born loved to sleep on my chest... however knowing this isn’t safe the next 2 me crib is the next best thing. When she stirs in the night I can just put my hand on her chest or hold her hand or put her dummy back in or even pull her on to me for a feed all without getting out of bed or disturbing her more. When she was first born (5lb 9) she was sop small that it wasn’t very comforting for her to be in the larger space so we started to put her down in the Moses basket then carry her up in the Moses basket and put the Moses basket in the next 2 me crib until she was a little bigger and now she is just full time in the next 2 me crib and settles much better than when she was smaller. It has stopped the co sleeping and made sure that she can stay in with us until 6 months (as recommended by health visitors) - Strengths:

I bought this product when my baby wouldn’t sleep in a bassinet next to the bed and would only sleep next to me in bed, which meant my partner was on the sofa most nights!
This crib was a life save, she took to it straight away which meant a better night sleep for all of us. The adjustable height meant it fit perfectly alongside our mattress, it made tending to her in the night so much easier.
It fully comes apart and packs pretty flat so perfect for over night stays with baby! The material parts are all removable so it’s easy to wash.
Baby out grows this as soon as they learn to stand by pulling themselves up as it’s pretty shallow, but still worth every penny!

Love this next to me cot, made breastfeeding so much easier and baby settled to sleep so well.
Only downside for us was baby out grew it so quickly but he is a big baby. (At 2 months was in 3-6 month clothes) - Strengths:

It doesn't fit to a divan bed as I would have hoped. It's currently just pushed up to the side. The feet on one side fold in but only one had a brake on it which isn't very effective. The feet have to be adjusted every time it is moved.
The different height settings are good.
I had this for my twins to share from birth but my son is now in it on his own, he's 4 months and unfortunately will only get another month or so out of it. Luckily my daughter is tiny still so she will use it alone afterwards otherwise it would have been very expensive for very little use. - Strengths:

This crib has been fantastic for our son since birth, it is really sturdy and has lots of room for baby to grow so you can get a lot of use from it. We started with the side of the he crib up and then just took baby out for feeds but my after a few nights we found it easier to keep the side down all the time for easy access to baby if he needs feeding or just a little comfort in the night. I would definitely recommend this product as having baby so close to me during the the night has given me peaceful of mind and a better sleep, for the few hours he allows me to rest haha - Strengths:

This is an amazing product and makes breast feeding in the middle of the night so much easier as you can just sip down the side and scoop baby up for a feed before putting him back. It also helps my back as I am not having to get in and out of bed to pick him up and feed him. Highly recommended. -

I love the next to me. It makes night feeds and tending to baby so easy. it feels like you are co sleeping but it is very safe. if baby is unsettled in the night you can just rest a hand on their chest or hold their hand and it settles them.
When constructed it feels a bit wobbly but it feels secure.
This is a must have purchase for any new parents. - Strengths:

Definitely the best thing I bought for my baby!
As the first 4 days were terrible as my baby wouldn’t settle in his Moses basket, I made the decision of buying the Next 2 Me - and that was probably the best decision I’ve made as a new mum.
Really easy to use. Safe. Love that one of the sides goes down.
I wish it would last longer than 6 months so I would be able to keep my baby next to me safely. - Strengths:

I had this product until little one was 6 months, it was the perfect size to fit in my room. Only down side was I couldn't find a way to properly fit it to my bed Base but managed to make something up to attach it to. It was brilliant as well because my little one has suffered with reflux and colic since he was 3 weeks old and being able to tilt the cot really seemed to help.
I loved that it was so easily collapsed so that I could use it for a short break away. I would certainly use this again if I had another child. - Strengths:

I love this crib. It’s keeps baby safe and close. You can have the side up or down (I’ve just put them up now she’s started rolling on to my bed, but I can still see her).

Was unsure about buying this at the start as it’s quite expensive but apart from my icandy peach pram this was definitely one of the best things I bought for my baby.
I feel secure he is just beside me, I’m a breast feeding mummy so when he wakes I just lift him over to feed the put him back in after without even getting out of bed. I have recommended this to do many people. Easily the Best Buy for a new Mum - Strengths:

I brought a next 2 me crib because I loved how you could sleep without the worry of baby being on same bed, my baby girl lives it, has tonnes of space, iv got the hot pink colour an it’s lovely, bit pricey but can sell it on, my daughter is 7 weeks an could easily fit in it for much longer, where as Moses baskets would been out of the question by now. - Strengths:
