A baby bedside crib should let you keep your little one close to your bed, take up minimal space and be usable for as long as possible. In practice, however, unsuitable dimensions, unclear attachment systems or a short usage period often lead to the wrong purchase. The product name alone tells you little about whether a model will suit your bedroom setup.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I therefore filter the relevant information using objective criteria: mattress size, height adjustment, attachment, brakes, age limit and what's included in the box.
"Height-adjustable" doesn't automatically mean the cot will fit every adult bed. What matters is the height of the mattress surface, not just the bed frame height. With divan beds or particularly tall frames, you may need additional accessories.
Measure before you buy:
A baby bedside crib 45 x 90 cm takes up less floor space, but is usually intended only for the first few months. Once your baby can push up on their arms, kneel or pull themselves up, many models can no longer be used as a bedside crib.
A baby cot 60 x 120 cm offers more room to move and, depending on the design, can be used for longer. Always check the age, weight or height limit specified by the manufacturer. A larger sleeping area doesn't automatically mean a longer usage period.
A bedside crib with mattress can be practical because the mattress is already matched to the internal dimensions. However, additional pillows, blankets, cot bumpers or decorative items aren't automatically necessary for a baby's sleep area. What matters is a well-fitting mattress with minimal gaps, and the instructions in the user manual.
The mattress must fit the intended size exactly. Common dimensions are 45 x 90 cm, 60 x 120 cm or 40 x 90 cm for a classic bassinet. Only use the size specified by the manufacturer and never place a second mattress on top.
Look for:
A height-adjustable baby bedside crib should have several clearly defined positions or a straightforward adjustment mechanism. Even more important is the attachment to the adult bed. Straps or metal fixings must fit the frame and be tensioned correctly.
A bedside crib for an adult bed should only be used as a co-sleeper when the connection has been made according to the instructions. After assembly, check that the cot doesn't shift or leave a gap between the mattresses.
A mobile baby cot with castors makes it easier to move around the bedroom or living room. However, the castors don't replace stable positioning. The brakes should be engaged every time the cot is stationary.
A bedside crib with fall protection may have a fabric side panel, mesh element or a solid wooden side, depending on the model. These are design features and not an invitation to leave your child unsupervised in the cot.
A 3-in-1 baby cot can, for example, be used as a bedside crib, a standard cot and a toddler bed. Check which conversions are actually possible without additional parts. With a height-adjustable baby cot, it's also important to know whether the mattress base can be lowered later and whether the side panels can be changed.

We've put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations in force in the EU.
The top of the baby mattress should match the height of the adult bed mattress. The specifications of the individual model are what matter. After attachment, the cot must not tip or move away from the adult bed.
This depends on the design and the manufacturer's instructions. Small models measuring 40 x 90 cm or 45 x 90 cm are often intended for up to around six months. Larger models measuring 60 x 120 cm can be used for several years, depending on the conversion function and weight limit. As soon as your baby can pull themselves up independently or reaches the specified limit, it's time to switch.
A complete set can make it easier to match the mattress and sleeping area. However, compare what's included: some sets also contain bedding or textile accessories, while others only include the slatted frame and mattress. What matters is whether the included components actually meet your needs.
