Chicco Next2Me Original, Grey | Side-Sleeping Crib, Adjustable Height, inc. Mattress and Travel Bag

Product Information

The adjustable height options and one-handed drop side help with night feeds and allow parents to co-sleep safely, while the adjustable feet and safety straps fit the crib securely to your bed. The opening can be altered at will, even when attached to the bed, so you can raise or lower the wall separating you from baby in one swift movement. The feet on the crib can be folded like the other Next2Me cribs to ensure a snug fit to any bed base, so it doesn't matter if you have a divan, ottoman or drawer based bed. The Forever also boasts 4 tilt positions for babies struggling with reflux, ensuring baby is comfortable so everyone can get a good night's sleep. It does come with four swivelling wheels and brakes to make moving it around easier, but you may still need a second bed for daytime sleeping. The only other thing you may need to consider getting is a second bed for naps as our tester did feel it was too big to move around a house or even use as a travel cot. The Next2Me Forever also boasts 4 mesh sides for optimal air circulation and to allow curious little ones to see their surroundings.

It is advised that you keep baby in your room until they reach 6 months old to prevent SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and some parents choose to co-sleep to keep an even closer watch over their precious little one. However, co-sleeping in itself can cause SIDS if practised incorrectly. The Chicco Next2Me cribs completely negate this issue, offering baby a safe space to sleep independently, right next to Mum and Dad. She did find it very simple to make the switch to a stand-alone crib, though, with the mesh panels on both sides allowing you to see your baby at all times. How safe is it? Adjustable to 6 different height positions and featuring a tilt function to aid with with congestion, the Chicco Next2Me Air is designed to guarantee a comfortable night’s sleep for little ones. With two mesh sides for optimal airflow, the crib is kept well aerated ensuring your baby's comfort. This also enables you to keep an eye on your snoozing little one, even when the side is up. For parents looking for a one handed opening side panel, the Chicco Next2Me Dream and features this. Alternatively, the Chicco Next2Me Magic features a one-touch sliding side panel.
