Chicco Next2Me Twins Bedside Crib – what's to love?
Chicco says that twin parents will love their bedside crib for twins as it's the perfect space-saving option for the bedroom. You won't have to worry about the cost and hassle of multiple setups, as you get a single crib that's designed to accommodate both babies at the same time safely.
Co-bedding is highly recommended for twins as it helps to regulate their body temperatures and sleep cycles, as well as soothe them for a comfortable sleep.
How the Chicco Next2Me Twins Bedside Crib works
The divider separates your twins for safety, but enhances bonding with the clear, breathable mesh fabric, allowing them see each other through it and be comforted by each other's presence and company during nap times.
While you get a single crib frame, there are two separate mattresses – one for each twin! Chicco say the mattresses are firm and durable, and that the crib offers plenty of space, so your little ones can stretch out and kick as they grow.
Is the crib compatible with your bed and lifestyle?
We like that the crib adjusts to 11 height levels. This means it's compatible with beds of different types and sizes – including divan and storage beds with drawers, which can sometimes be tricky to find bedside cribs for.
The twin crib attaches to your bed for easy side-by-side access and convenience at night. The removable and washable covers add to the convenience of this product. It also has foldable feet which make storage easier too.
What do other twin mums say about it?
Twin mums have said it sounds like a fantastic product, with one saying they wished they'd had something like this when their twins were born. Another parent said, "I currently have two cribs – one upstairs and one downstairs – and both babies sleep in one together, day and night. A twin crib would be amazing!" Another mum said they were thinking of putting their two cots next to each other for a similar effect, but that a twin crib specially designed for this was exactly what they were looking for.
