Having purchased the Chicco Next 2 me crib for my second child I am very happy we did. Having had a wooden crib for our first that we kept to reuse, our daughter was constantly getting her arm and leg stuck in the gaps so I didn't feel comfortable.
The service when purchased was fantastic, my husband put the crib up in no time at all and our daughter slept soundly that first night. I love the fact that she is right at the side of me and I can comfort her with ease, no trying to see through gaps or hang my arm over a crib. I feel my daughter is also comforted in seeing me too. The size of the crib is fantastic, she has plenty of room without hitting the sides and waking her up which was an issue in a wooden crib or moses. We will therefore get more use out of the Chicco Next 2 me crib. I have also used on holiday and was impressed how easy it was to fold away and carry which was also a selling point when we purchased. I recommend this purchase 100% - Strengths:

Loved this, both my babies didn't like Moses baskets and so we got one of these and it made getting the hang of breastfeeding much easier. My daughter sleeps through very well in this and it's so easy to hold her hand to settle her.

I love this product it is the best thing I have bought for my son, it is a lot bigger than I was expecting which is a good thing as it means he can stay in our room for the full 6 months as recommended, it may seen more expensive than a Moses basket but it lasts a lot longer, I will be buying another one if I have any baby's in the future. - Strengths:

I got this cot on recommendation from a friend. I really wanted a fancy Moses basket but my little boy has severe reflux - so it was lucky I got this cot. It comes in a handy carry bag as it’s a travel cot - which it fits nice and easily into. The instructions weren’t amazing but I used a YouTube tutorial to show me how to set up. It took me 10 minutes which is amazing for a baby item! It has different height level settings so can go next to any bed and has ties that clip on to the underside of your bed, so it cannot move. With the adjustable legs you can set the cot to an incline which as I’ve mentioned - is amazing if your little one has reflux, as you can set it up at a 45 degree angle to help prevent them from getting reflux.
It’s not as easy to take down as it is to put it, took me 20 mins but I’ve only done it twice, so once I get the hang of it it’ll be easier. It’s amazing at night it feels like my baby is in bed with me, he sticks one foot in to be touching me always, so we’re very close to one another. It definitely makes him feel safe and secure and the same goes for me. I would really recommend this cot to anyone, they say it’s up to 6 months I believe but my little one was premature so hoping to use it a month or 2 longer. - Strengths:

I love having this next to the bed so I can see my daughter whilst she sleeps. It's fantastic size and so sturdy. The only criticism is that the side poles are so hard to pull off and put on, there is no way to do this whilst baby is sleeping in it and I've broken a few nails. - Strengths:

Loved this, both my babies didn't like Moses baskets and so we got one of these and it made getting the hang of breastfeeding much easier. Having a baby for the first time can be a real shock to the system, not getting a lot of sleep being the main one but with the next tonne you feed baby with ease and is very comfortable. - Strengths:

I loved this however felt my little one ran out of room at around 5 months as he was rolling. The legs are a little shaky and the mattress a little hard. On the plus side it was so nice to have the baby so close to us during the night. There are a lot more pros for the parents rather than the baby with this product. - Strengths:

This bed helped me to sleep finally, because my baby is so close to me and I can hold his hand. I feel safe and more relaxed. Even though, it is a little bit too expensive, but I would still pay every price to just feel relieved and so close to my little boy. - Strengths:

I loved using this crib. I used it from 2 months old. My baby loved it and slept much better in this than a moses basket. I liked the fact that it can be used when travelling as it fits in a travel bag and small enough for most car boots. The mattress is plenty thickness and comfort. The mesh sides are great and it doesn't take up too much room, ideal if you have small bedroom. The only thing I didn't like is that it's hard to dismantle. - Strengths:

This was easy enough for me to put together by myself and easily fitted to my bed. It feels very secure.
I love the mesh so me and my baby can see each other and taking the side down can help when she has wind and wants my hand on her tummy.
The best feature for us is that it can be inclined which has been a god send for my daughter who has reflux, it is safer than using objects under the crib or the mattress to raise it.
The buttons to release the side are a but stiff so I sometimes struggle with that.
The mattress is a bit too firm so I bought a mesh mattress topper and my daughter appears comfortable and sleeps really well in there. - Strengths:

I love this product and have used it for both my boys as they were both breastfed this allowed me to do it with ease, as I could just roll over and feed them. It has plenty of space too meaning that it lasted us a very long time. Made co sleeping a lot easier and safer. Only thing I didn't like is that both of my boys found the mattress to firm and required and additional sleeping aid.

Really love our Next 2 Me - wouldn’t be without it now! It’s a great size there is plenty of room to grow from newborn and beyond! The only criticism I have is that I think it should come with a newborn insert as my little girl tends to turn herself around so she’s landscape in the cot in the night despite the fact I put her feet at the bottom she still manages it! However I would still recommend it as it’s frest for co-sleeping being able to zip the side down! Fantastic work Chicco! - Strengths:

Love it! Fashionable, adjustable to parents bed and simply perfect for a newborn. Not too bulky and manageable to move around. Only disadvantage you can’t use it for a long time (until 9 months depending on baby’s growth).

The next to me is a good product, however my baby would not settle in this initially and I had to purchase another product to go inside the next to me crib. It is only after 3 month that he is starting to get used to this. The product is very secure and you can sleep close to your baby !

I think that this crib is perfect for newborn baby. You are close to baby so baby is calm and you can see him properly all the time. Very useful when you breastfeed that you don't have to stand up every 2-3 hours to the baby. For me/us was absolutely brilliant. We just didn't use it till 6m but the reason isn't that our boy was 9kg in his 4m. :) - Strengths:

Best bit of baby kit I bought made breast feeding through the night after a C-section soo much easier. Much less painful than trying to pick up baby from a basket or static crib,
Can just slide baby over and up. Easy to check on and see baby at all times, to put mind at ease.
Comes with carry bag. So easy to take down and put back up so have not needed a travel cot when visiting family/staycationing. Which would be far to difficult to lift baby in and out of after section. Can not recommend enough. - Strengths:

I bought this after my daughter wouldn’t settle in her Moses basket in the evenings and I couldn’t for the life of me work out why I hadn’t bought one sooner! It’s a great piece of kit, sits securely against the bed edge and provides security you can see baby at all times but you or they cannot cross into the beds. I found it great for feeding in the night as I could reach without having the stress of getting up and putting lights on etc. Can’t wait to use it again! - Strengths:

i wish these were available when my older 2 were babies! i used this with my little girl and it was totally worth the money. stable yet lightweight (more stable than moses basket) she fit in it till almost 9 month! sooo easy to fold away we took it with us on holiday as it just flat packed away! only downside we have a huge divan superking bed and we couldn't get it attached. so for some time we couldn't have the side down on the cot. but i cant fault it in any other way. - Strengths:

I love our next 2 me. It's mad breastfeeding so easy and also strengthened our bond with the baby. I can put my hand in her when she's unsettled and both fall back to sleep again! I'm not looking forward to moving her to the cot because I just love how close we are together and she loves her next 2 me! The sides when you lower the front do bunch up a bit but doesn't cause any issues unless your baby is 4+ months and has learned to back shuffle up to that corner and buries their face there! This is obviously while supervised as when asleep u always have the sides up. It was a great investment after months if deciding if the price was worth it. It most certainly was! Hopefully if we have more babies they'll benefit too!
