WE SAY: FOR
The push of a button is all it takes 0M-4M
to remove the side of this bedside crib.
Our favourite feature is the rocking mode
– it’s brilliant for sothing babies back to sleep!
The mesh mattress and side panels allow for
plenty of air to circulate, and it’s easy to
adjust the height to suit your bed. It has
four tilt levels to help ease reflux, and
we love that the legs have swivel
wheels and brakes.
