It does come with four swivelling wheels and brakes to make moving it around easier, but you may still need a second bed for daytime sleeping. Age recommendation:The Next2Me Magic is suitable from birth to maximum 9kg / approximately 6 months, or until baby can pull themselves into an upright position. While the crib cover can be easily removed by zips at the top of the rails and the mattress cover taken off too, they both have to be hand-washed in cold water which is more time-consuming than putting them in the washing machine.

Pros

The mesh windows encourage air to flow easily throughout the crib and all the corners are covered so there are no sharp bits to catch yourself on. Zips feel safe for little fingers and there are no gaps on the sliding rail for them to get caught. When the crib is not attached to the bed you should always make sure that the side is up.

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. There’s so much about this bed that really tries to make life easier for parents. As our mum was breastfeeding (and up quite a lot during the night), she got to make use of the bed when in side-sleeper mode. The size of this bed allows your baby plenty of room to move, wriggle and grow, but that does mean it is quite chunky so you may struggle to fit it into smaller spaces. Our mum thought it was a great size for her 30s semi and the adjustable height settings allowed her to align the crib perfectly to her bed. Our tester didn’t travel with the crib, even though it does come with a storage bag. It wasn’t that compact when folded, so she felt it would take up too much room in her car.in-1 – can be used as a stand-alone crib, side-sleeper and includes a travel bag so you can use it as a travel cot away from home too Suitable from: newborn until baby can sit alone, turn and raise themselves unaided – maximum weight 9kg

The adjustable height options and one-handed drop side help with night feeds and allow parents to co-sleep safely, while the adjustable feet and safety straps fit the crib securely to your bed.
