Although buying a mini crib is simply is One more of the options we can choose for the baby to sleep on arrival at home (We can make colecho or go directly to the crib), I wanted to do a selection of the ones I have evaluated in case you are looking for a, although I confess that personally I have not yet decided which of them I will choose.
Babybjörn cradle
This mini crib is one of Babybjörn's star designs: It has a smooth movement similar to that of a stroller and you can easily rock with your hands or feet responding to the child's own movements. It is ideal for the first months, when babies sleep frequently and at short times. As it is light and compact, so it can be easily moved from one room to another.
One of the things I like most about this mini-cradle is that the sides are made of a soft and translucent net fabric. As the baby can breathe perfectly through the tissue, you do not have to worry if the baby's face is close to the sides nor is it necessary to buy a bar guard since they are entirely made of fabric ... it has no parts in which the hands and Baby feet can get caught.
Stokke® SleepiTM
The Stokke® SleepiTM has an oval shape that theoretically provides a feeling of security for the baby. It is made of European beech wood that ensures greater durability and less environmental impact, It has adjustable height and wheels to be able to balance it or to transport it easily around the house.
However, the most striking thing about this mini-cradle is that it adapts to the needs and development of the child, since its size can be added by adding some pieces to accompany it in its growth (The cradle is recommended for 0-6 months, the next size for 0-3 years and the last for 3-10 years).
Next 2Me by Chicco
The new Chicco Next2Me cradle lets make colecho to favor the bond and allows sleeping closer to the baby, helping newborns adjust their sleep schedules. In addition, breastfeeding helps mothers because they do not have to join to do so.
It has a semi-inclined position that facilitates the digestion of the baby and prevents regurgitation after meals. It also offers the ease of disassembly and assembly thanks to its lightweight aluminum structure, allowing it to adapt to any type of bed.
Micuna Elbow Cradle
It is one of the colecho mini cribs Micuna brand that allows to be closer to the baby in its first months and without having to get up. It has a folding side in four positions and It is adjustable in 14 heights to adapt perfectly to the parents' cane.
It is made of beech wood, has wheels with two brakes and the most interesting is its versatility, since one of the sides can be disassembled and used as a shelf at the bottom without tools and when we stop using it It can be turned into a small desk.
Zara Home
It is a mini-crib of smooth wood of Zara that includes a foam mattress covered by a waterproof plasticized fabric, removable canopy (70% cotton and 30% polyester) and chichonera suitable for washing. It has a rigid plate under the wooden conglomerate mattress and comes with wheels that favor its mobility.
The cradle weighs approximately 7.2 kg, It is not foldable and the mattress is not height adjustable. Personally I don't know your design is the best option for summer (which is just when my baby will be born).
As with all the things we buy for our babies (especially if we are newborns), the most important thing is to evaluate the space we have, if it is an object that will make our life a little easier and in this case in particular if we are absolutely sure that we are going to go to bed in the parents' bed.
Did you use a mini-cradle, or why did you choose?
