I love this product. It has been the perfect way for my baby and I to sleep closely but safely. It is adjustable and has flexibility in it use eg, next to your own bed or as a free standing crib. The material is all washable. The only downside is I would have liked the feet to have lockable wheels so that I could move it to the side. Not much use if you have had a c section until you are recovered. As you have to crawl down the bed to get out as the crib is fixed in place. - Strengths:

I switched very quickly from a moses basket to this crib as I didn't feel comfortable not being able to see baby. Now all I need to do to check he is alright is look over and pop a hand on his chest or put his dummy back in without having to get up and out of bed. He settles far better in it also. It is a little wobbly though so could benefit from sturdier legs. - Weaknesses:

This has been my absolute favourite buy for my babies! My eldest, now 2, had terrible reflux, the next 2 me was a brilliant help with this as we could lift either end higher to help him be further up right.
With my second he was constantly up feeding all night, the crib was perfect for pulling him over with out having to drag myself out of bed constantly. When we were ready for them to move in to their own room we just folded the side back up to let them get used to a bit of separation before the move.
We loved this so much gave this product to 2 of our friends to use with there babies who also loved it too, we can definitely say we have had our monies worth!

The next to me cot is brilliant, my daughter settled well in it. I like the height changes and the fact you can take down the side to have it as an attachment to your own bed. Only problem I found was it was quite wobbly and the designs are very bland. But overall a fantastic buy. Definitely a must have!

I absolutely loved our next 2 me crib. My little girl was right next to me in bed but still in her own crib so we didn’t have the extra worry of her falling out of bed etc. She had loads of space and was very comfortable. It was easy to get up during the night knowing she was next to me and I didn’t have to get up - she often woke up just for her dummy back in. If I was having another baby I would definitely use again. I never used as a travel cot but this is a great idea. - Strengths:

I bought this product after much research. And it did not disappoint. Having had a section I found the first few days especially rough and moving was painful and voila!!! I could see to my baby with minimum movement because he was right there next to me! He slept well in there, I felt reassured with him being so near and the design fitted into my room comfortably due to it not being so bulky. Only issue I have is he is now growing out of it and I want him to stay in there for ever haha! - Strengths:

I have bought this for my 4 week old as he kept waking himself up in the moses basket and didn't like being closed in. It was easy to set the crib up, all clicked in to place. I have attached it to my divan bed and getting the straps round wasn't as easy as I thought. However I love the fact he is next to me so easily if he is sick in the night (reflux baby). My only challenge now is just to get him to sleep in it for more than half an hour at a time. Wish I had bought it sooner. - Strengths:

Absolutely love this! No more getting out of bed to lift baby out of a Moses basket or crib! My son is right there next to me! I can just roll over and see his face. It really is a perfect option. Definitely worth the money! My son sleeps so well in it so he must be comfy! - Strengths:

We bought this as we have a cot bed which doesn't fit in our bedroom and we thought it would last longer then a moses basket.
I love it.
It allows us to have our daughter in with us and not in her own room. It is a good size, so she fits in with plenty of room.
The mattress seems comfortable, and the crib seems sturdy. The only issue is that the frame rocks a bit when she kicks, and it is quite noisy when it does it.

Excellent product we had our daughter in a normal gliding crib but hated it from the day she was born after reading up on reviews thought we would try this, all I can say it’s worth the money she absolutely loves it will sleep no bother in it. It’s definitely worth every penny - Strengths:

This was by far the best thing I ever brought when my daughter was a baby, she wouldn’t sleep in a Moses basket and found the only way to get her to sleep was by co sleeping, took a chance and brought one of theses and she took to it straight away. I could sleep safety with her and her still feel me next to her. Absolutely brilliant product. - Strengths:

I used this with my first daughter, and I kept it in case we had another child so I am using it again and after a good wash it looks good as new. I’ve had no problems using it with both my girls and it’s made bedtimes very easy and stress free. I highly recommend. - Strengths:

A great idea to help facilitate safe co-sleeping. I found the product and matching items to be very expensive for what they are. It's a large bed which means you can keep your baby in it for a lengthier period. It has the potential tonne user as a travel cot however it's just too big and bulky to love around. It was also difficult to clean around. - Strengths:

Absolutely loved this crib. Wanted one ever since I first found out I was expecting. Did not fail to please. With its 6 height function allowing you to select the correct height position. You can tilt too if baby has congestion so baby isn't laying flat. The drop side allowing baby to be close with the security of knowing baby is safe in their own bed. Last well until over 6 months. Would recommend. - Strengths:

This product is stylist, can match your room and provide complete security to tired obsessed parent with their baby.
It was very easy to put up and allowed my sleepy head to fit it the next to me nicely so when we transition to cot it shouldn’t be so hard now.
It allow me to take my baby out nicely for feed without me having to do my back in going up and down and also allow me to keep a eye on my baby with out having to get up which really help when your an exhausted Mum getting up every 2-3 hours in the night.
The mattress with the bed is great and firm just right for the little one.
Being at my parent house quite abit I haven’t tried travelling with this. It doesn’t seem like it will be the easiest of item to take without the help of my husband - Strengths:

When my son was born I tried to get him to sleep in his crib & he wasn't having any of it! So a family member lent me a moses basket but again, he didn't like it. In the end we ended up co-sleeping just to be able to get some rest! It was also easier for breastfeeding him in the night. But co-sleeping in a double bed with mum, dad & baby is a little too snug. So at 3.5 months old we bought the Chicco Next 2 Me.......and I WISH we'd bought it sooner! It was super easy to put together & comes with a handy bag for travelling or storing it after. Having a unique sized mattress (pretty much all cribs & moses are the same size) it did limit where I could buy sheets from & they weren't cheap but still worth it. The only grumble I have is that we had to swap our divan bed for the bed frame from my inlaws spare room as the straps have no way to attach to a divan, something that was not mentioned on the website I purchased it from.
It states that it goes up to 6 months but my son has just turned 8 months, is of average weight (50th centile) & is still in it.....although not for much longer. I'll be very sad when I have to pack it away & he starts to sleep in his own room. - Strengths:

It's a great little bed for newborn upwards, it made me feel better knowing baby was next to me as I could see him. When putting the side up and down the zip gets caught now and again - Strengths:

What a life saver! We tried a moses basket for 2 weeks with very little sleep. We eventually bought one at 2 weeks old, and he slept 11pm - 7am! It made everything so much easier being able to be so close, and also helped my anxiety as he wasn't in my bed and i could also see him. Gutted he outgrew it but I believe it set him up for good sleep habits as since then he was been an awesome sleeper!

I heard good reviews which is why we bought the Next2Me for our son, now 3 months old. It is perfect to be next to the bed, not too big and my son sleeps through the night in it with no problems. Although there are a lot of companies that sell the sheets stating they fit and they don't so you just have to be mindful of where to buy them from. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering.

Ive wanted a next to me since i first saw them and im so glad we went ahead and brought one, its been 1 of the best items we've brought & i do believe it helped little one and myself sleep much better knowing how easy it was to see them and get to them if need be, i also like the fact you can change the height to fit different bed so its easy to use on most beds and the fact the crib can fold flat and be placed into a bag for travel is such a great idea and a very useful part of the item, little one seems very happy and comfy in the crib with enough space to move, we are very happy with it. - Strengths:

BEST BABY ITEM EVER!!
For a clingy baby who wants to sneak in mummy and daddys bed this is amazing!
My daughter loved it.
She was comfy and close to me but far away enough she was safe from my covers etc.
Really safe co sleeping.
Fantastic.
I cannot fault this item at all. She looked comfty with plenty of room. - Strengths:

We had decided we didn't want a co sleeping cot but after a horrible birth and a week in hospital I struggled with our little one in a Moses basket ànd wanted her closer.
The price is definitely appealing in comparison to lots of similar products and it came in several designs. We loved the travel cot aspect aswel since we are going away later this year.
The cot can also be left higher on one side which is great for our little one who has bad reflux and likes being more upright.
Only downside is taking it apart for travel isn't as easy as I'd like - Strengths:
