What's more, the Chicco crib can be tilted by up to four levels to help with your baby's digestion and reduce reflux. If you want to co-sleep with your baby, but are worried about being in the same bed, the Iora is the perfect compromise. Firstly, they allow you to reach your baby without having to get out of bed so you can feed and comfort them quickly and easily – a godsend for those recovering from a c-section birth when your mobility can be limited. x 93cm – this is particularly useful if you have a longer-than-average child, as there's lots of growing room. It's also available in several shades, including slate, white and natural wood, to tie in with your décor.

The Iora is similar in functionality to the Chicco Next2me bedside crib, but it is much more straightforward to assemble and easy to attach to your bed. A six-step height adjuster allows for easy reach of your baby, and it also has an easy fold system and travel bag that will allow you to take the CoZee away with you, wherever you go. What makes it different is its ability to transform into a cot (and then a toddler bed and a sofa when you purchase the expansion pack) – extending the life of the product by at least 18 months. Our Maxi-Cosi Iora / Iora Air / Tori Bedsheet is specially designed to cover the mattress of our Maxi-Cosi Iora, Iora Air and Tori bedside sleepers.With curved, clean lines and stylish wood-effect aesthetics, the Maxi-Cosi Iora Air co-sleeper fits into every modern home interior.

Being mum to a 4-year-old, and more experienced at assembling all manner of baby products, I decided to have a go at building it with no instructions. The pros, of course, include baby being able to nap anywhere in your home as the bassinet is also removeable, but this style may not be for everyone. And for the more challenging nap times, a handy rocking-function will help soothe your baby back to sleep. Breathability of the fabric is also important – look for those that have mesh side panels you can see baby’s face through, and which will keep baby cool in the night, and the mattress should be firm, flat, and breathable. The Maxi-Cosi Iora bedside sleeper is sophisticated, adjustable and has the most comfortable mattress your baby could ever dream of.

Fancier models even come with in-built rockers, music, and night lights that prevent you from fumbling around in the dark! However, if you do decide to use a Sleepyhead or similar cocoon for supervised daytime naps, there is plenty of room for this to fit in the cot. Most will have a side panel that can be unzipped or unclipped and lowered, while others simply have a side with “give” that allows you to reach your newborn with ease.

There are a whopping seven colourways to choose from – we picked “natural” which, with its Scandi-style curves and pared-back palette, make this feel like a crib that was both functional and stylish. The wood finish and fawn-coloured fabric (also available in grey) feels contemporary, and the mesh panels offer breathability, while the smart storage shelf which doubles as a changing station was probably one of our favourite features.

Its movement and positioning on the bed allow baby to be as close to you as possible while maintaining your own sleep bubbles. And as it’s made from sustainably sourced beechwood, the craftsmanship is clear to see once the whole thing has been pieced together. One of the features of the Iora that we really like is the mesh window, as it allows you to see your baby even when the side is up.
