Testing the Babymore Air Motion Gliding Crib overview
Having been awarded Gold by our parent testers for Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket, it's safe to say they were pretty impressed with this crib from Babymore, with many commenting on how easy it was to assemble, its weight and how quickly it helped their baby to drift off.
"This cot is an absolute dream to assemble," said mum tester Emma. "I put it together in two minutes, it’s lightweight and easy to move about, but also feels sturdy. The rocking mechanism is amazing, and my tiny baby (6lbs 5oz at birth) is able to move it alone. The sides are low enough that it’s easy to lift baby out when sitting on the edge of the bed, even after a c-section. The mesh sides also make it easy to see baby when lying in bed and this gives additional peace of mind."
Mum tester Claire was also impressed: "Assembly was exceptionally easy and quick, and the quality of the cot exceeded my expectations," she said. "The baby has settled in the cot well and seems to appreciate the mesh sides, as she is able to see everything that is going on around. We took the cot away for a two night stay and were pleased by how easy it is to travel with. The simple assembly, convenient travel bag and small size made it ideal."
It wasn't just Claire who thought her baby settled quickly in this crib, as mum tester Sharon also agreed: "This product is amazing," she said. "As soon as I placed my newborn in this crib, he settled immediately. I love the fact that I can rock him whilst I am in bed. The crib is spacious and feels safe. I have been using this for nearly six weeks now and I will continue to use as my baby sleeps so well. I am very impressed."
When we asked our mum testers how they thought this crib compared to other ones they had tested, they felt the Babymore crib exceeded all others. The main reasons being it was easier to set up, lighter, looked good and its gliding function.
You may be wondering whether this crib received any criticisms. We did ask our parent testers what they would change about this product, however many came back saying "nothing" and that they'd already recommended it to their friends and family. One mum did say a hook for a baby toy would be useful, while another said that it would've been nice for the gliding motion to be able to go forwards and backwards (as well as side to side). However, both mums admitted these were minor points.
Final thoughts
The Babymore Air Motion Gliding Crib has been well designed with parents and baby in mind. As well as taking almost no time to set up (a big thumbs up when you have such little time on your hands anyway), it's super light and transportable. Its gliding motion really does help settle and soothe your little one, while the mesh sides and the height of the crib, allow you to easily check up on baby, even from the comfort of your bed. It is a little pricey, but with so many positives and a comfy sleep for your baby, our mum testers think it's a must-have product.
