Snuzpod

Most next to me cribs only last 6 months, depending on the baby you will be transitioning into a cot after that. My little boy was out of his at 3 months but I got mine second hand off marketplace. Just had my second baby girl and done the same, I can’t justify full price

All next to cots are until about 6 months, of course if your baby is under the weight limit for them and still fits in them you can use it longer but after 6 months they usually go into their proper cot x

My little one hated the next to me, we got a Moses basket instead for the first 6 months.
We brought second hand as there’s no point spending money we don’t have, just bought a new mattress for it and anti bac’d it x

At around 6 months babies usually learn to sit up, which makes bedside cribs unsafe as the sides aren’t high enough.

We got a Snuzpod off Facebook Marketplace for £40 and just bought a new mattress for it.

Personally I didn’t like the Snuzpod that much and wouldn’t bother with one if I had another baby. Some people swear by them though! But at least if you get one secondhand you haven’t lost too much if you don’t think it’s great.

Loads of people I know said it isn’t worth the money and their babies didn’t like the snuzpod or the next to me crib. We are going to get a toddler crib from the start and just attach it to the bed level with our mattress as recommended by a friend

My little girl grew out of the snuz pod at 4 months - it is actually really small! I would personally go for something bigger. She did love her snuz pod but for £200 it wasn’t worth it imo x

We got one on marketplace, just bought a new mattress for it. My friend then borrowed it for her baby, and we now have it back for our second.

We loved it, my little boy stayed in it until he was about 8 months and he's a very big, tall boy. It's more when they hit the weight limit that you need to move them out of it. Didn't take up loads of room in our bedroom and he always slept really well in it as he felt secure with it not being too big xx

I got one second hand off fb for £35 as I didnt think the price was justified for 6m. I think they are smaller than many other next to me cribs - may have to get something bigger around 4-5m x
