Best baby purchase hands down. Allows cosleeping safely to get as much shut eye as possible. Invaluable for breastfeeding mummy’s to keep baby close by. Large cot to last until about 6monthw (or sitting up). Adjustable ends allows a slight tilt for reflux babies. Can also be used with sides up for freestanding cot.
Attaches to bed easily and comfy for baby.
We have the stars mobile to attach to the cot which fits perfectly too and allows a gentle lullaby and stat projection onto ceiling.
Breathable sides gives peace of mind incase baby rolls into side.

I will actually be so sad when my baby grows out of this because I absolutely love it. It is so easy to move or take down & set up again as it comes with a big travel bag which came in handy for me when moving house. My baby seems to be really comfy as he sleeps so soundly in it and has always slept well in this compared to other things like a travel cot. I feel like it is a great size as it doesn’t take up too much room but my baby still has plenty of room inside. The drop down side is great for feeling closer to your baby but they’re still safe in their own bed. The bed is also adjustable in height to suit your bed or your standards. I highly recommend!! - Strengths:

This was the first thing on my baby list when I found out I was pregnant. I had heard so many great reviews on it, I could not wait to try it with my little one. It is worth every penny to have the peace of mind each night that your baby is safe, secure and comfortable. It is so easy to keep an eye on them and reach them quickly if they wake. - Strengths:

I could rave about this Next2me crib all day. It was the best baby related product we bought and was sad to see it go!
We bought this to make night feeds a lot easier, which it definitely did. Our favourite feature is that you can put one side down so baby is an easy reach and you can just pop them back in without having to reach over the crib itself. You can also tilt the crib upwards to help with refluxy babies which was a massive help to us.
It has 6 height settings which makes it compatible for most beds, even divan beds!
It comes with a handy carry/storage bag. It is so easy to put up and take down. You just pop the legs off and set the actual bed part down and you're ready to go.
The mattress it comes with is very firm, making it perfect for newborns up until approx 6 months, depending on the size of your baby.
My daughter did fit in it until she was 9 months old.
The sides of the bed are mesh, making it breathable and safe for sleeping babies.
To put one side down, all you do is unzip it and clip it in place.
This Next2me is a life saver for night feeds or anxious parents wanting to be close to your baby.
It's made very well and beautiful designed. It is very sturdy. Overall, it is just the perfect must have product.
I would 100% recommend this to all expectant parents. - Strengths:

This was great for me when breastfeeding at night. Gave me peace of mind knowing that she was alright as the mesh sides easy to see through. Easy to put up/take down. Looked lovely in our room, mattress was very comfortable for baby. It did shake a bit if knocked so not as sturdy as you'd like and unfortunately our baby grew out of it very quickly, it is quite small, plus she started sitting up at 41/2 months then started pulling herself up at 5 months so we had to move her into a crib sooner than we'd expected. For the price we paid I personally didn't think I got the most out of it that I could, that being said it will be of again for baby no. 3. - Strengths:

This is an excellent item for breast fed babies as easy for mum to get baby out and more importantly back in without having to risk waking baby once settled. I would imagine that even bottle fed babies could benefit in exactly the same way! Also baby could be settled by parents touch or if baby has a dummy the parents could easily pop the dummy back into baby’s mouth without waking themselves up fully. The only down side would be that maybe it could be made to last a bit longer as baby soon outgrows. - Strengths:

Loved this after having my baby. When it was difficult to get out of bed to lift her it was great that it was close by and easily accessed. I always felt close to baby and I'm sure she did too. She slept through the night from 4 weeks old.

Absolutely in love with our next to me! Our baby loves it too as it means they are close to mum and dad at night. Keeps my mind at ease knowing he is just next to the bed and as the side doesn't collapse completely there is less risk of me throwing an arm out in my sleep! Love this! Would reccomend to any new or existing parents!

Baby started with a Moses basket but did not adjust to this so we purchased the next 2 me to allow us to safely co sleep.
Baby adjusted to this straight away and always settled in the crib.
This allows mums/dads to be close to baby during nap times or nighttime- and if baby does stir during the night this crib does rock so you can rock baby back to sleep.
My baby also suffered from reflux and preferred to sleep inclined which was another pro of this crib, you can incline it to allow babies with reflux to sleep more comfortable.
The next 2 me crib is larger than a Moses basket and more spacious for baby to stretch out and move around.
The fabric is easy to keep clean and mattress seemed really comfortable but hard enough for babies development.
Would highly recommend this crib. - Strengths:

The next 2 me allows me to be so close with my baby, as well as being safe. I love it! It’s a great size compared with Moses baskets, without being too big for a new born. It has a tilt function on it which has really helped my baby with his colic and silent reflux. There is a bigger dip to put baby in and out, I imagined it to be flush with the bed, this is becoming more of an issue as baby is getting heavier. Overall, a really practical product for safe co-type sleeping with baby :) - Strengths:

This product was fantastic. Having had 3 children prior to this in a moses basket this really did help. My son was a caesarean section and it made lifting and managing him so much easier.

Love this crib. We have a high bed with a 33cm mattress and I worried it wouldn’t meet the same level but it does, and would even go higher.
Put my mind at ease during the first few months before we moved LO to own room.
Made it easy to pull baby over to me to feed her in the night/morning. I had a caesarean and so this really was a useful piece of kit. It’s easy to transport as I took it to my parents a couple of times too. It comes with its own travel bag.
Can’t think of any negatives, I really loved it and can’t wait to have another baby to put in it. - Strengths:

Love this sleeper. Prefer it over my snuzpod. It's lightweight and easy to move around. I wander up and down the stairs with ease. It also pops down for travel. Making life easier when we go away. No tears over a new sleeping place. The design we have is baby blue with a prince and stars theme and very fitting.
The side drops down allowing easy access at night and good for feeding. A godsend as the crib can be adjusted to height whereas the pod can't and is very bulky. - Strengths:

I knew I wanted the Next to Me cribs but I didn't want the usual fold down side as I'm a heavy sleeper and didn't want to risk me putting my covers in his crib by accident. So this is absolutely perfect as he is right next to me but the side folds up and down for ease during the night but also safety of folding back up. He can see me and is happy laying next to me but not in the bed. Brilliant! Also folds down for travel extremely easily and one side can go higher than the other for a tilt to aid with reflux.

This product is perfect for when you are breast feeding. Goes next to your bed so you can pick up baby when they need feeding. Easy to put up the height can be adjustable to your bed and does strap on so the cot doesn’t move. My baby was in it till she was 6 months then she got to big for it

Probably the best purchase for my baby, she loves the cosy space and enjoyes being rocked to sleep. The hight can be adjusted on both sides so we had her head always higher than feet to help her with slight reflux.
The only drawback was that the side, which is ment to be easily moved upbor down feels a bit stiff and I might need both hands to be able to move it down. In my opinion, it would be better if it was a bit more flexible. - Strengths:

I bought this product from Argos for £190 (a bit expensive but was a godsend) after my daughter refused to sleep in her Moses basket at 4 weeks old. I would highly recommend it to other expecting parents especially if it is your first and you never want to take your eyes off them and with the adjustable sides it makes this possible to do so from lying in your bed. This bed gives the same effect of co-sleeping but without the health risks. It was easy to assemble and also comes with the ability to become as travel cot which is handy if you’re going away or your child’s grand parents are watching them for you to have some time with your partner. Another feature of this crib is it tilts at one end so if your baby has reflux or even a simple cold it’s great as you can prop them up! My daughter has never slept better since purchasing this! Overall this is a not just a crib it is an essential when buying for your baby. -

Love this cot which I specifically chose over the over next to me cots due to the fold down side instead of zipper and also the other side is breathable mesh not fabric as I was concerned about suffocation this is just extra reassurance for me. My husband put the cot together very easily with the instruction. I love how this cot will also rock. I have found it a bit difficult to wheel about however have started to get the hang of it. - Strengths:

Description
The Chicco 'Next 2 Me Dream Crib' allows side sleeping, where your baby stays close to you all throughout the night, but without staying in the same bed, as recommended by baby experts.
With Next2Me Dream, your baby can sleep safely in their own crib whilst you can sleep next to them in your own bed, making cuddles and breast feeding easier and comfortable. In this way, your bond will grow stronger and your nights more peaceful. The Next 2 me Dream is an ideal choice for your baby's first bed as they last longer with it being 50% bigger than a standard moses basket.
Great for holidays and staying at Grandparents house, it neatly folds away into a travel bag so baby will feel comfy in their own bed, even when staying away from home. As your baby grows, the Next2Me crib can be slowly moved away from the parents’ bed and used as a normal stand alone crib until approx 6 months or until baby can pull themselves up into an upright position.

- a one-hand twist drop down to the side panel nearest the bed to easily change configurations,
