Guide: What you should know before choosing a bedside crib
Guide: What you should know before choosing a bedside crib
A bedside crib can be a great help in the first months of a baby's life, when closeness and security are crucial. It allows the baby to sleep close to the parents while still having its own safe sleeping space. The range of bedside cribs is wide – from classic wooden models to modern, multifunctional solutions with adjustable height and rocking function. In this guide, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a bedside crib, as well as an introduction to different types and brands on the market.
The article presents a selection of bedside cribs that show the range in design, features and price levels. The aim is to provide an informative overview of the available options, so you can more easily assess which type of bedside crib best suits your needs and home. The information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and neutral overview.
Factors to consider when buying a bedside crib
When choosing a bedside crib, there are several practical and safety aspects you should take into account. Here are some of the most important points to consider.
1. Safety and stability
Safety is crucial. Make sure the bedside crib meets current safety standards and stands stably – even when rocking. Check that the sides are firm and that the mattress fits precisely to the base so that no gaps appear where the baby could get trapped.
2. Adjustability and features
Many bedside cribs have adjustable height so they can be adapted to the parents’ bed. Some models can be attached directly to the bed, making night-time awakenings easier. Also consider whether you want a manual or automatic rocking function, and whether the crib should be lockable when the baby sleeps restlessly.
3. Materials and ventilation
The choice of materials affects both appearance and comfort. Wooden cribs provide a classic look, while models made of fabric or mesh are often lighter and more breathable. Good ventilation around the baby is important to ensure a healthy sleeping environment.
4. Mobility and storage
If you want to move the bedside crib between rooms, wheels or low weight can be an advantage. Some models can be folded, making them practical for travel or storage when not in use.
5. Price and lifespan
The price varies depending on materials, design and features. Consider how long you expect to use the crib – some models can be converted into a cot or bench, extending their use and making the investment more long-term.
Products in focus
The Sleepi V3 Bed in natural beech is designed to follow the child's development through the first years of life. The oval shape and soft lines create a safe atmosphere, while the construction in solid European beech wood provides stability and durability.
The bed can be adjusted in both height and length to suit the child's needs as they grow. The mattress base can be set at four levels, making it easier to adapt the bed to different ages and stages of development.
The wheels make it possible to move the bed and create a gentle rocking motion, but they can be locked for stability. As the child gets older, one side can be removed so the child can climb in and out of the bed independently.
The design has been developed with a focus on safety, air circulation, and functionality. The perforated mattress base ensures ventilation, and the curved edges eliminate sharp corners. Sleepi V3 is not compatible with older versions of Stokke Sleepi accessories made before September 2022.

The Boxspring bedside crib in beige was developed as a solution for high beds and box mattresses, where standard bedside cribs often do not fit in height. It has a solid construction and stepless height adjustment, so the lying surface can be precisely adapted to the parents' bed.
The bed is made of solid beech wood, which is naturally antibacterial and antistatic. All surfaces are treated with lacquers that are free from harmful substances and solvents, and tested according to DIN EN 71 part 3. This ensures that the product is safe for the child.
The base plate has ventilation holes that provide good air circulation around the mattress. The construction is so stable that it can support up to 150 kg, making it resistant to the load of an adult.
The bed can be easily and securely attached to the parents' bed without the use of tools. It can also be used as a bench or play table when the child grows older. With the addition of a side panel, it can be converted into a closed bed.
The product is TÜV-tested and produced by Tobi GmbH & Co. KG in Germany, while the actual manufacturing takes place in Turkey. The series has received several awards and is recommended by midwives and breastfeeding consultants as a practical solution for nighttime closeness and security.

Different types of bedside cribs
There are several types of bedside cribs that differ in function, design and use. The choice depends on how much flexibility and comfort you want, as well as how much space you have.
1. Classic bedside cribs
Traditional wooden models have a timeless look and a calm, manual rocking function. They fit well into most homes and are often made from natural materials. This type is ideal if you want a simple and stable solution.
2. Bedside cribs
A bedside crib is designed to stand directly next to the parents’ bed, often with one side that can be opened or lowered. This makes it easy to reach the baby at night and provides a sense of closeness without the baby sleeping in the same bed.
3. Electric and automatic cribs
These models can rock the baby automatically using a motor or vibration function. Some even have built-in sounds or music to soothe the baby. They are practical for parents who want extra help getting the baby to settle.
4. Multifunctional models
Some bedside cribs can be converted into a cot, travel bed or bench as the baby grows. This makes them a flexible and economical solution that can be used for a longer period.
Different brands of bedside cribs
The market for bedside cribs offers many well-known brands, each with its own focus and design philosophy.
Chicco
Chicco is known for its bedside cribs with adjustable height and the option to attach to the parents’ bed. The brand combines functionality with modern design and high safety.
BabyDan
BabyDan offers classic and sturdy wooden bedside cribs with a focus on safety and Danish design. The products are often made from FSC-certified wood and fit well into Scandinavian homes.
Troll Nursery
Troll Nursery produces high-quality furniture with a focus on sustainable materials and timeless design. Their bedside cribs are known for robustness and long lifespan.
Maxi-Cosi
Maxi-Cosi offers modern bedside cribs with flexible features, including adjustable height, removable fabrics and travel-friendly solutions. The brand appeals to parents who want practical and stylish products.
Stokke
Stokke is known for its design solutions that grow with the child. Their bedside cribs combine aesthetics with functionality and can often be adapted as the child develops.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a baby use a bedside crib?
Most bedside cribs are intended for use from newborn up to about six months, or until the baby starts to sit up or pull itself up. After that, it is recommended to switch to a cot.
Is it safe to let the baby sleep in a bedside crib all night?
Yes, as long as the crib meets safety standards and the mattress fits correctly, the baby can sleep safely in it all night. Make sure the crib stands stably and that there are no loose objects in the bed.
Should you choose a model with a rocking function?
The rocking function can help the baby settle, but it’s not a must. Some parents prefer fixed models, while others appreciate the soothing movement. It depends on the baby’s temperament and the family’s needs.
How do you maintain a bedside crib?
Wipe the crib with a damp cloth and make sure fabrics are washed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Regularly check screws and fittings to ensure everything is secure and working properly.
Can a bedside crib be used as a travel bed?
Some models can be folded and taken on trips, but not all are designed for that. If you travel often, it may be an advantage to choose a light and travel-friendly model.
