How to choose a co-sleeping crib
Choosing the best co-sleeping crib is an important decision for parents. First of all, you have to think about the use you are going to want to get out of it because there are many co-sleeping cribs of different sizes and that transform in different stages . Of course, make sure it has enough positions to adjust to the height of your bed. That it has wheels can be interesting if you also plan to use it as a crib during the day .
Here are some key factors to consider:
-
Size and space : Evaluate the space available in your room, since co-sleeping cribs should fit comfortably next to your bed. You will find different sizes.
-
Safety : Make sure the crib meets all European safety standards. Look for certifications and non-toxic materials for the baby.
-
Ease of access : Check if the crib can be securely attached to your bed (anchor system) and if it allows easy access to the baby during the night (with removable side rail).
-
Conversion : Some co-sleeping cribs convert into independent cribs, beds, desks... as the baby grows, which can be a long-term investment.
-
Bed base heights : Look at the positions of the bed base. The higher the height of the bed base, the easier it will be to adapt it to the large bed.
[ALONDRA TIP] It is recommended that the bed base of the crib or mini-crib be at least 2 cm below the parents' mattress , to prevent the baby from moving at night and rolling around in the bed and suffering from crushing or suffocation .

❥ Co-sleeping cribs 60x120 cm

3. Nexor wooden co-sleeping crib 60x120 cm
This style of crib is a classic. The Nexor crib is characterized by its Nordic-Scandinavian style design, in white and wood. It is especially versatile because it can be transformed into a co-sleeping crib (purchasing the optional co-sleeping kit), a desk and a bed (with the optional junior rail) as the little one grows. So, if you keep it well (which is not difficult because its material is robust), you will not have to get rid of it until you need a "grown-up" desk.
Either of the two railings can be removed for co-sleeping. To do this you just have to remove a couple of screws.
-
Pros : Classic design, robust materials, easy to assemble.
-
Cons : Not as versatile in terms of features.

4. Large co-sleeping crib up to 3 years old Omni XL
If you are looking for a co-sleeping crib to use up to the baby's 3 years , this model is the ideal choice. The standard Omni XL 70x140 cm co-sleeping crib is a crib-desk (2in1). In order to convert it into a co-sleeping crib, you must purchase an additional co-sleeping kit. By having a larger size, you will be able to practice co-sleeping beyond the baby's first year perfectly.
Once you stop co-sleeping with the baby, it can be converted into a children's bed, Montessori bed or sofa, by purchasing the junior barrier kit. Finally, you can transform it into a practical children's desk, to make the most of its useful life.
Keep in mind: it does not have wheels and being larger, it is difficult to move around the house and will require a little more space in the room.
-
Pros : Ample space, durability, maximum conversion.
-
Cons : Large size, requires more space in the room. Without wheels.
