We tested the grey and although Anna felt she had seen prettier beds on the market, such as the Shnuggle Dreami Clever Baby Sleeper, she liked the simplicity and functionality of this crib. She thought it was good quality and roomy without taking up too much space in her home, yet still felt cosy for her baby boy. It might not be the most stylish or beautiful bed, but it is safe and will offer lots of room as your baby grows, meaning you shouldn't need another option before they - and you - are ready for them to move into their own room,” she explains. 'It’s not cheap but I do think it offers great value and performance: it offers flexibility of use, and has plenty of functions built in to meet most, if not all, of baby's needs.' 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?

At first glance, the instructions are quite confusing. The big booklet offers guidance in many different languages so it took our tester, Anna, a while to find and make sense of the English instructions. The larger size is great for baby’s growth, but the crib feels too big to keep moving around the house – even though it has wheels

Pros

The Chicco Next2Me Magic Side-Sleeper is a stylish, clean design that comes in two neutral colours – cool grey and snow white – and would fit any décor. The drop-side is very easy to adjust with just one hand so will help breastfeeding mums and those with bad sleepers The Next2Me Air and Next2Me Pop Up is designed with 4 wide meshed sides for optimal airflow, keeping baby's sleep space well ventilated and cool in the hot summer months. Are you after a bedside co-sleeper which will last you for a long time?

When the product is fastened to the bed, there must be no gaps between the lowered side of the crib and the mattress of the parents’ bed. The Chicco Next2Me Dream features 11 adjustable height levels, ranging from 35cm to 52 cm, allow parents to create the perfect sleeping position for their little one, and can be tilted to aid with reflux. Additionally, the crib has an additional mesh window for increased breathability to keep baby cool and comfortable during the night. The bed comes with two straps which you adjust to attach the crib securely to your bed and, when it comes to converting it to a stand-alone, you simply remove the straps and slide the side up. Our mum thought it was very easy to make the change.Do not use the product with beds where the distance between the upper surface of the bed frame and the upper surface of the mattress is less than 21 cm. Really easy to comfort baby in the night when in side-sleeping mode as you don’t have to get out of bed
