That all important first sleeping place for your new bundle of joy. These cribs, pods and nests got our votes and will get yours too!
WINNER: GOLD BEST CRIB/POD DESIGN
WHO: Sleepyhead Deluxe+
WHAT: A highly portable multi-functional sleeping pod. Perfectly shaped to cocoon and gently support babies from birth, this is the next best thing to being held. Designed as an alternative to moses baskets and travel cots, it can be used in any room of the house, as a co-sleeping aid, as a changing station, a travel companion, for tummy time and more.
WHY: Lots of our judges were already familiar with this product and many of them considered it to be an absolute baby essential. This compact pod that comes with a myriad of stylish cover options is great for keeping babies feeling calm and snug and for anyone who finds it hard to put their baby down without them crying, the Sleepyhead Deluxe+ is often the answer. The Sleepyhead is also credited with not only providing a safe space for babies to relax while parents get on with essential tasks but also for helping them to sleep for longer. No wonder our judges were so full of praise…

WINNER: SILVER BEST CRIB/POD DESIGN
WHO: SnüzPod 3 Bedside Crib
WHAT: A bedside crib that attaches to your bed leaving no barrier between you and your baby. Featuring a zippable side panel made from dual-view breathable mesh, a reflux incline, a light weight, lift-off bassinet for use around the home and a curved frame design made from quality beech wood, available in an array of colours.
WHY: This crib has been designed with every need of a newborn and parent in mind. Our judges loved the storage area underneath, the increased air-flow thanks to the all mesh sides and the fact that this crib is substantially bigger than previous models meaning your baby can stay in it for longer. The soft rocking base was also a big plus as well as the option to incline the crib to ease reflux and congestion by a slight adjustment of the base. Our judges said:

WHY: The carefully thought out details make this bedside crib a great option for parents who want to stay in close contact with their baby throughout the night. With seven height options, it will fit alongside any adult bed and its dual view, mesh sides help to maximise airflow as well as allowing parents to keep a watchful eye on baby.
