Buying a Bedside Crib For Travel The dimensions of this crib are ideal for moms. It's bigger than the Moses Basket, but smaller than the Cot Bed. It also can fold down to a third of its original size, and can fit into a compact travel bag, making it perfect for travel. Make sure that the crib is designed for sleeping. Toys, pillows and blankets can cause a child to be suffocated. Safety When you're looking for a travel cot make sure that the manufacturer adheres to all safety standards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) website is an excellent place to start. It will let you know whether a crib that is portable has ever been recalled. You should also select the right size for the crib of your baby, so it doesn't slip into gaps in the crib's sides or create a suffocation hazard. Look for cribs or bassinets that are in line with the latest safety standards of 2022. It is also recommended to avoid older cribs or cribs that have been modified, or drop side cribs that are recycled for use in travel, as they aren't tested and could pose a risk to your baby's well-being. A travel crib should be well-constructed and sturdy. Make sure there aren't any loose, missing or broken screws, as well as other hardware. If you're using a playard it should have secure walls and mesh windows to ensure proper air flow. The crib slats should not be more than 2 3/8 inches apart to avoid the baby's head and limbs becoming trapped. Also, do not put pillows, blankets toys, stuffed animals or other items in the crib. These objects can choke or strangle your baby. They should be removed from the crib as soon as your child is able to pull up on their hands and knees or before 5 months of age or when they reach 5 months of age, whichever comes first. Make sure you check frequently for broken or loose screws and hardware. This is particularly crucial when traveling with an infant. Remove all plastic from the crib as well. If you're using a portable crib, be sure it is not located right under the window. A window can be a fall hazard and your baby may be injured when they fall into it. Even if your child is old enough to roll over it is recommended to keep their sleeping area away from windows. If your child begins to roll over in bed, it's a good idea to awake them to prevent injury. bedside rocking crib (or playards or playards, as they're often referred to) are a great choice for anyone who is on vacation, has a family members over, or simply wanting a safe crib to use for a sleepover with friends.

Some are shaped like miniature cribs or Moses basket, while others have sides that can be lowered down into the bed of the parent. This allows for middle-of-the-night access to the baby for feeding and comforting without exposing the risk of true co-sleeping, which the AAP cautions against due dangers of suffocation. Examples include the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet, an infant bed that is attached to the side of a parent's mattress. It is also an option for older babies since the sides can be easily raised to let you reach the infant from the adult bed without lifting the mattress out. Another option is the travel cot, which has a built-in bassinet which can be removed from the top of the crib, which makes it easier to lift up an infant who is sleeping for feeding or care. Sleeping Bedside cribs allow you to co-sleep safely with your baby.
