There wasn’t much between our top five beds, but the Tutti Bambini CoZee Bedside Crib took the top spot thanks to its easy-to-use design. The drop-down side was certainly put to the test thanks to a baby who woke regularly at night. Our exhausted mum loved that she didn’t have to get up for the night feeds and was able to comfort her baby boy from her own bed. Some cribs can look more functional than fashionable, but this one manages to do both. The bed and mattress both feel soft enough for delicate skin and the mélange fabric is stylish and high in quality. If I were to change one thing about this product, it would be to swap the wood-effect plastic for real, unvarnished sustainable wood. It would make the whole cot more sturdy, stylish and luxurious, as well as being much better for the environment. Tested by dad Joe Woolley for the Mother & Baby awards 2018: Bedside sleeping– convert from crib to next-to-me co-sleeper with the webbing straps included, so you can always have your baby within arm’s reach.

As guidelines recommend your baby sleeps in the same room as you until they are six months old, this bed allows you to keep them close for breastfeeding or night feeds, with plenty of room to grow and wriggle.

The bed is very cosy and our baby no longer wakes up in the night, now that he is sleeping in it! Once baby is old enough, you can close the side of the crib to make it more stand-alone, which acts as a great transition from crib to cot. The storage shelf is also great for putting teddy bears, muslins and extra nappies.Drop side rail for co-sleeping – secured with zips and clips either side to ensure baby can’t roll out Can be used from birth with plenty of room for baby to grow without being too intrusive in your home Maybe just that the straps, which attach to the bed, could be sturdier so that I never lose them when I’m travelling.

The tilt function makes life easier as it is much safer than using a pillow or propping up the crib with something, to allow it to be at a slanted angle. This helps baby’s reflux no end! It is also great if you are planning to travel, as it folds down so easily. I like the way it looks too.

Though our baby didn’t do a lot of sleeping in the crib, his mum felt the bed’s foam mattress was comfortable and safe and her three-month-old was happy in it. When in co-sleeper mode, Tutti Bambini warn that there must be no more than a half an inch (13mm) gap between the bedside sleeper and your own bed, and the top rail of the drop side should be no higher than the adult mattress. While the side feels secure when zipped up, it does require two hands to open and close and this could often be quite fiddly, especially in the middle of the night after the little one had just gone to sleep.

Mattress included – deluxe foam mattress means your baby will always have the comfiest night’s sleep. Inner fabric and mattress cover can be machine-washed, and outer fabric can be wiped clean with a mild detergent This product is definitely easy on the eye, which I love! But mainly, it is really easy to use and assemble, only took me matter of minutes to put it up – I didn’t even need to use the instructions. I love that it straps securely to our bed, easing my mind, and that I have full access to baby without even having to get out of bed myself.
