During testing, it took around 30 minutes to set up the crib and attach it to the bed in side-sleeping mode, with one person doing it and no tools required. Initially, Anna worried it wouldn’t fit under their bed but the auto-retractable legs slotted in very easily and the two straps attached the crib securely to her bed.

Chicco does warn not to use this bed if your mattress is lower than 51cm or higher than 66cm off the ground. You should also ensure that, when the side is lowered, there are no gaps between the rail of the crib and the adult mattress. Always read all of the manufacturers safety advice before using any newborn bed. How easy is it to clean? It is so simple to adjust – just press the buttons on the legs to change the height or incline the Magic to one of four different levels.The Next2Me Air is all about breathability, with all 4 sides of the crib designed with wide netted material to ensure optimal ventilation to keep baby comfortable all night long. Another bonus of having all mesh sides is that you can see baby from every angle, so no matter where you are you can always keep an eye on your little one. There are no loose parts or gaps around the mattress once fitted, which feels firm but comfortable and has a breathable cover. Do not use the product with beds where the distance between the upper surface of the bed frame and the upper surface of the mattress is less than 21 cm. 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. Suitable from: newborn until baby can sit alone, turn and raise themselves unaided – maximum weight 9kg

For parents looking for a crib compatible with divan beds, all three cribs in the Chicco Next2Me range feature adjustable feet. The Chicco Next2Me Magic is designed with retractable feet, whilst the Chicco Next2Me Dream and Chicco Next2Me Air feature folding feet.

The Dream also features a partition which can be adjusted at will, like that of the Next2Me Magic. This drop side also sports a one-handed opening system, making getting to baby bleary-eyed in the middle of the night a breeze. Our tester gave it top marks for usability as the drop side was so handy for her during the night. It was put to good use as she was up regularly for feeds or to soothe her three-month-old baby. When the product is fastened to the bed, there must be no gaps between the lowered side of the crib and the mattress of the parents’ bed. This model also features 4 wheels, so wheeling it from room to room is no problem at all if you want to keep little one close as they nap. Arguably, this is the most transportable Next2Me crib as it is the lightest one with 4 wheels, so that's something to bear in mind if you're after something especially mobile.
