Good quality product to look at & handle. Large sleeping space compared to alternatives like cribs/Moses baskets so has longevity compared to them. Nice colour for either gender. Thick, solid mattress. Easy to assemble. Folds down fairly easily for travel and travel bag included. Mechanisms to adjust tilt & height etc easy to use. Securely fastens to bed. Legs fold in for divan fitting but nothing to keep them folded so they spring back against bed base - this is fine though.Read more -

We bought this next to me as a travel cot for our baby as we travel a lot and it was easy to put together and comes in a handy travel bag. I like this cot as it’s bigger than a snuzpod and Moses basket and I love the anti reflux feature it has which a great idea and incredibly helpful. My baby has silent reflux and needs this. We are thinking of using this full time as he has got too big for the snuzpod now. I would highly recommend to all my family and friends.Read more

This is a must have with a new baby - it provides a safe place for baby to sleep yet baby is so close to you that you can hold baby’s hand. I had this with both my son and daughter and couldn’t be without it. It makes night feeds super easy because baby is just arm length away. It’s also very stable so I didn’t have to worry about younger siblings leaning over the edge. One of the best features was that with both babies having reflux I could easily keep the crib at an angle to make it both safer and more comfortable when they lay in it. Highly recommendRead more - Strengths:

I love the Next2me dream, it has been the perfect first bed for my baby. I love how it can be placed right next to my bed so I can check on my baby and feed him in the night easily. The side goes up and down really quickly and can be done with one hand. The fabric parts come off and can be washed which is good. The wheels only work sideways so it can be slightly hard to wheel around if you were going to move it from room to room( which I have done as I live in a flat so sometimes moved it from the bedroom to the front room). I have read reviews on the mattress being hard but as far as I am aware a harder mattress is safer for a newborn. I love the rocking feature and it helped me get my baby back to sleep in the middle of the night without having to get up. I fount this product much better than a normal Moses basket as I used it right up until my son was 7 months old where as a Moses basket only lasted 6 weeks with my first child before he was too big.Read more - Strengths:

This product was fantastic. Having had 3 children prior to this in a moses basket this really did help. My son was a caesarean section and it made lifting and managing him so much easier.

Baby started with a Moses basket but did not adjust to this so we purchased the next 2 me to allow us to safely co sleep.Read more
Baby adjusted to this straight away and always settled in the crib.
This allows mums/dads to be close to baby during nap times or nighttime- and if baby does stir during the night this crib does rock so you can rock baby back to sleep.
My baby also suffered from reflux and preferred to sleep inclined which was another pro of this crib, you can incline it to allow babies with reflux to sleep more comfortable.
The next 2 me crib is larger than a Moses basket and more spacious for baby to stretch out and move around.
The fabric is easy to keep clean and mattress seemed really comfortable but hard enough for babies development.
Would highly recommend this crib. - Strengths:

Absolutely in love with our next to me! Our baby loves it too as it means they are close to mum and dad at night. Keeps my mind at ease knowing he is just next to the bed and as the side doesn't collapse completely there is less risk of me throwing an arm out in my sleep! Love this! Would reccomend to any new or existing parents!

Loved this after having my baby. When it was difficult to get out of bed to lift her it was great that it was close by and easily accessed. I always felt close to baby and I'm sure she did too. She slept through the night from 4 weeks old.

I could rave about this Next2me crib all day. It was the best baby related product we bought and was sad to see it go!Read more
We bought this to make night feeds a lot easier, which it definitely did. Our favourite feature is that you can put one side down so baby is an easy reach and you can just pop them back in without having to reach over the crib itself. You can also tilt the crib upwards to help with refluxy babies which was a massive help to us.
It has 6 height settings which makes it compatible for most beds, even divan beds!
It comes with a handy carry/storage bag. It is so easy to put up and take down. You just pop the legs off and set the actual bed part down and you're ready to go.
The mattress it comes with is very firm, making it perfect for newborns up until approx 6 months, depending on the size of your baby.
My daughter did fit in it until she was 9 months old.
The sides of the bed are mesh, making it breathable and safe for sleeping babies.
To put one side down, all you do is unzip it and clip it in place.
This Next2me is a life saver for night feeds or anxious parents wanting to be close to your baby.
It's made very well and beautiful designed. It is very sturdy. Overall, it is just the perfect must have product.
I would 100% recommend this to all expectant parents. - Strengths:

This was the first thing on my baby list when I found out I was pregnant. I had heard so many great reviews on it, I could not wait to try it with my little one. It is worth every penny to have the peace of mind each night that your baby is safe, secure and comfortable. It is so easy to keep an eye on them and reach them quickly if they wake. - Strengths:

Best baby purchase hands down. Allows cosleeping safely to get as much shut eye as possible. Invaluable for breastfeeding mummy’s to keep baby close by. Large cot to last until about 6monthw (or sitting up). Adjustable ends allows a slight tilt for reflux babies. Can also be used with sides up for freestanding cot.Read more
Attaches to bed easily and comfy for baby.
We have the stars mobile to attach to the cot which fits perfectly too and allows a gentle lullaby and stat projection onto ceiling.
Breathable sides gives peace of mind incase baby rolls into side.

Great first bed for your baby and makes you feel extra close being able to lay right next to them and seeing them. Only downside is baby needs more room quickly in our case. Perfect for newborns

Absolutely love this product. We have a very tall (long) baby girl. If we’d bought a Moses basket, she would have definitely grown out of it very quickly (8 weeks). The crib is spacious, feels sturdy & safe. It can be raised/lowered to different height beds & also set at a gradient which can be great for colicky babies. Can also be changed so it rocks aswell. Love being able to see through the mesh to check on her & the arm (once you get the hang of it) is easy to lower & raise again. The sheets are expensive but you can find cheaper non Chicco options. However really impressed by the Chicco mattress protector, it saves the mattress by collecting “liquid” & enables the sheet to dry quicker so your baby isn’t lying in anything through the night! Really good for sick, dribble or a leaky nappy! This crib has definitely enabled us to have more sleep, it makes it much easier to pop her dummy back in, put a hand by her to settle her or fish her out without too much messing around to feed her. Completely recommend & will be packing it away for any future babies!Read more - Strengths:

I will actually be so sad when my baby grows out of this because I absolutely love it. It is so easy to move or take down & set up again as it comes with a big travel bag which came in handy for me when moving house. My baby seems to be really comfy as he sleeps so soundly in it and has always slept well in this compared to other things like a travel cot. I feel like it is a great size as it doesn’t take up too much room but my baby still has plenty of room inside. The drop down side is great for feeling closer to your baby but they’re still safe in their own bed. The bed is also adjustable in height to suit your bed or your standards. I highly recommend!!Read more - Strengths:

It's an amazing cot, best choice of you want to have your baby close to you but don't have to co-sleep. The side can be folded with a click only and you have easy access to your baby throughout the night. Also, it's so easy to move it around the house they we use this for naps during the day in the living room too. You can just wheel it there.Read more
My baby often has spits after feeding, so it's very practical that we can change the height of each side of the bed and we can set any angle we need for him.
It's great that with two easy moves you can get the cot into rocking too.
The net-like side cover is great when your baby loves to push their face against the side of the cot. This way you don't need to worry about their breathing.
The cover can be zipped on and off quickly. - Strengths:

I knew I wanted the Next to Me cribs but I didn't want the usual fold down side as I'm a heavy sleeper and didn't want to risk me putting my covers in his crib by accident. So this is absolutely perfect as he is right next to me but the side folds up and down for ease during the night but also safety of folding back up. He can see me and is happy laying next to me but not in the bed. Brilliant! Also folds down for travel extremely easily and one side can go higher than the other for a tilt to aid with reflux.Read more

Love this crib. We have a high bed with a 33cm mattress and I worried it wouldn’t meet the same level but it does, and would even go higher.Read more
Put my mind at ease during the first few months before we moved LO to own room.
Made it easy to pull baby over to me to feed her in the night/morning. I had a caesarean and so this really was a useful piece of kit. It’s easy to transport as I took it to my parents a couple of times too. It comes with its own travel bag.
Can’t think of any negatives, I really loved it and can’t wait to have another baby to put in it. - Strengths:

Probably the best purchase for my baby, she loves the cosy space and enjoyes being rocked to sleep. The hight can be adjusted on both sides so we had her head always higher than feet to help her with slight reflux.Read more
The only drawback was that the side, which is ment to be easily moved upbor down feels a bit stiff and I might need both hands to be able to move it down. In my opinion, it would be better if it was a bit more flexible. - Strengths:

Description
The Chicco 'Next 2 Me Dream Crib' allows side sleeping, where your baby stays close to you all throughout the night, but without staying in the same bed, as recommended by baby experts.
With Next2Me Dream, your baby can sleep safely in their own crib whilst you can sleep next to them in your own bed, making cuddles and breast feeding easier and comfortable. In this way, your bond will grow stronger and your nights more peaceful. The Next 2 me Dream is an ideal choice for your baby's first bed as they last longer with it being 50% bigger than a standard moses basket.
Great for holidays and staying at Grandparents house, it neatly folds away into a travel bag so baby will feel comfy in their own bed, even when staying away from home. As your baby grows, the Next2Me crib can be slowly moved away from the parents’ bed and used as a normal stand alone crib until approx 6 months or until baby can pull themselves up into an upright position.
Product Features:
- a one-hand twist drop down to the side panel nearest the bed to easily change configurations,
- double mode: fixed or gentle rocking motion base,
