Chicco Next2Me Original, Grey | Side-Sleeping Crib, Adjustable Height, inc. Mattress and Travel Bag

Product Information

The mattress is very firm and complies with the recommended safe sleeping guidance; when you press your hand into it there is resistance – it doesn’t sink in. The Next2Me Forever also boasts 4 mesh sides for optimal air circulation and to allow curious little ones to see their surroundings.

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. It is advised that you keep baby in your room until they reach 6 months old to prevent SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and some parents choose to co-sleep to keep an even closer watch over their precious little one. You have to pull the straps out and around your bed frame simultaneously before clipping them together underneath the back of the crib.It started very well as I laid out all the pieces, and it was obvious from the images which bits I needed to begin with, but putting it together proved a bit more challenging. Like the previous model, the Face To Me 2 features spacious interior with soft flanks and lowerable mesh panel to maximize the freedom of movement of newborn and easy access for the mommy. Do not use the product with beds featuring containers / drawers with base protruding by over 8 cm from the mattress. The Chicco Next2Me Dream boasts 11 different height levels and foldable feet to enable it to adapt to any bed type. Irrespective of whether your bed is tall or short, with a solid base or on legs, the NESTE UP co-sleeper cot can be adapted to all of them thanks to the five mattress height adjustment options and smooth adjustment of the distance to the parents' bed using the legs.

Transforming the crib into a toddler floor bed is as simple as removing the legs; no tools are required. MFM parent tester Hannah found it more straightforward, saying, ‘The cot is relatively easy to set up and attaches well to our bed. As far as ventilation is concerned, during the hot weather we pointed a fan at the side of the crib and there was no difference to the air temperature inside, suggesting that the fabric still doesn’t promote air passing through the mesh fabric. The crib isn’t collapsible, so it doesn’t fold down – it’s a pity it doesn’t because it would make an excellent travel floor bed for a toddler who isn’t yet capable of sleeping in a big bed.MFM parent tester Hannah agrees, stating, “It is well made, and it felt very robust- more so than I was expecting. The crib has been designed with a rounded, cocooning shape to create a cosy sleeping environment for your baby, features padded sides and comes complete with a comfy mattress.
