This product is perfect for when you are breast feeding. Goes next to your bed so you can pick up baby when they need feeding. Easy to put up the height can be adjustable to your bed and does strap on so the cot doesn’t move. My baby was in it till she was 6 months then she got to big for it
This is an excellent item for breast fed babies as easy for mum to get baby out and more importantly back in without having to risk waking baby once settled. I would imagine that even bottle fed babies could benefit in exactly the same way! Also baby could be settled by parents touch or if baby has a dummy the parents could easily pop the dummy back into baby’s mouth without waking themselves up fully. The only down side would be that maybe it could be made to last a bit longer as baby soon outgrows.
This is a great product in theory. I have tried using it for 2 children and neither have slept in it. They always end up in bed with me. The cot is very sturdy and very safe with how it fits to the side of the bed. The idea to have baby sleeping next to you but safely in their own space. I found the edge of the side that unzip is quite hard and uncomfortable. I also found with baby that close we disturbed each other too much. Love the ability to fold away into a reasonable size bag
I love how the side folds down instead of a zipper therefore there is still a small barrier between
Weaknesses:
This cot is expensive considering it can only be used for 6 months

Love this cot which I specifically chose over the over next to me cots due to the fold down side instead of zipper and also the other side is breathable mesh not fabric as I was concerned about suffocation this is just extra reassurance for me. My husband put the cot together very easily with the instruction. I love how this cot will also rock. I have found it a bit difficult to wheel about however have started to get the hang of it.
Good size allows baby to get ready to transition to cot
Weaknesses:
The fabric zip is almost impossible to get back on once removed

We graduated to the next to me crib from my little girls Moses basket when she was about 4 months and she’s still using it at 7.5 months old. The crib has great breathable sides which is fab as my LG tends to squash her face right up to the side of wherever she’s lying.
The mattress for this crib is perfect for babies as it’s firm to the point of hardness. I worried that it may be a little too hard for LG but she’s never shown any issues and sleeps really well on it.
I made the mistake of unzipping the fabric casing to move the crib once... it took me about two days and two fingers ripped to shreds on the zip to get it zipped back up! I also find that the pull down side is a little temperamental and doesn’t pull back up smoothly at all which is important if you’re wanting to put the side back up when your little one is sleeping.
Overall I find the crib to be a great addition and will continue to use it until my LG moves to her own room
I bought this product from Argos for £190 (a bit expensive but was a godsend) after my daughter refused to sleep in her Moses basket at 4 weeks old. I would highly recommend it to other expecting parents especially if it is your first and you never want to take your eyes off them and with the adjustable sides it makes this possible to do so from lying in your bed. This bed gives the same effect of co-sleeping but without the health risks. It was easy to assemble and also comes with the ability to become as travel cot which is handy if you’re going away or your child’s grand parents are watching them for you to have some time with your partner. Another feature of this crib is it tilts at one end so if your baby has reflux or even a simple cold it’s great as you can prop them up! My daughter has never slept better since purchasing this! Overall this is a not just a crib it is an essential when buying for your baby.
Great my little girls loves it!! Only down side is I had to go buy a new bed for the things to fit but other then that it must be so comfortable as my little girl can’t wait to get in bed at bedtime also it has sides thu can put yo with us great when a toddler wants to jump in your bed and wave to protect baby x
I wish I had viewed the product before I bought it, it feels flimsy (it’s not) and definitely for short term use.
If it was more sturdy I would have loved this product, ideal for the first 3/4 months
Allows you to be close to your baby, good size compared to Moses baskets, can tilt (helps reflux)
Weaknesses:
Not flush with the bed as I imagined

The next 2 me allows me to be so close with my baby, as well as being safe. I love it! It’s a great size compared with Moses baskets, without being too big for a new born. It has a tilt function on it which has really helped my baby with his colic and silent reflux. There is a bigger dip to put baby in and out, I imagined it to be flush with the bed, this is becoming more of an issue as baby is getting heavier. Overall, a really practical product for safe co-type sleeping with baby :)
This was great for me when breastfeeding at night. Gave me peace of mind knowing that she was alright as the mesh sides easy to see through. Easy to put up/take down. Looked lovely in our room, mattress was very comfortable for baby. It did shake a bit if knocked so not as sturdy as you'd like and unfortunately our baby grew out of it very quickly, it is quite small, plus she started sitting up at 41/2 months then started pulling herself up at 5 months so we had to move her into a crib sooner than we'd expected. For the price we paid I personally didn't think I got the most out of it that I could, that being said it will be of again for baby no. 3.
Bought the crib for a family member and they absolutely love it for their little one fits nicely next to their bed doesn't get knocked in to with the other children climbing on/off the bed easy to get baby back to sleep while in crib would and have recommended to others
It's great for if you are breastfeeding baby! It looks great! It's safe and baby is secure
Weaknesses:
It wobbles a little when baby rolls over which frightens me a bit

It's a great cot for when baby outgrows their moses basket I love ours it's so easy for when you are breast feeding or just want a cuddle with baby you can see them easily and keep an eye on your baby while you sleep!
Love this sleeper. Prefer it over my snuzpod. It's lightweight and easy to move around. I wander up and down the stairs with ease. It also pops down for travel. Making life easier when we go away. No tears over a new sleeping place. The design we have is baby blue with a prince and stars theme and very fitting.
The side drops down allowing easy access at night and good for feeding. A godsend as the crib can be adjusted to height whereas the pod can't and is very bulky.
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.

double mode: fixed or gentle rocking motion base,
11 adjustable height levels,
4x wheels for easy manoeuvrability and both sides of the crib now have breathable mesh for easy visibility.
