Baby crib comparison

30 September 2022

What kind of crib do you choose for your baby? A comparison!

What is the best crib for your baby? A crib has the advantage that it is a safe place to sleep that can stand in the master bedroom. This so that your child is close at night to feed or comfort. Because a baby crib is more compact than a crib, it offers your baby more security. Also, in a crib there is less room to get tangled between the bedding. This makes it safer to let your baby sleep in a crib for the first period. When your baby can roll over, it is important to switch to a cot. If your baby starts to turn in the crib, there is a chance that her mouth/nose will lie against the side walls and therefore cannot breathe properly.

When choosing a crib you can go in all directions: from traditional beds to co-sleepers to modern design cribs. At BabyLoop we have listed the pros and cons of these 3 different types of cribs, so that you can choose which type suits you best.


Below the advantages and disadvantages of 3 types of baby cribs:

  1. Classic baby cot (e.g. from Kidsmill)
  2. Design cradle (e.g. Leander hanging cradle)
  3. Co-sleeper (e.g. Snuzpod)
