Chicco Hoopla Baby Bouncer 2-in-1, Blossom | Birth - 9kg, Soft & Padded, Foldable & Compact, Converts into Seat for use to 18kg

Product Information

The bed comes with two straps which you adjust to attach the crib securely to your bed and, when it comes to converting it to a stand-alone, you simply remove the straps and slide the side up. Our mum thought it was very easy to make the change. 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? Suitable from birth, the Chicco Next2me Go is the smart co-sleeping solution with an instant folding system that allows the crib to fold and be set up in just 3 seconds!

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. The crib can be used as a bedside crib allowing your baby to sleep safely side-by-side for the first 6 months whilst adding peace of mind to parents as baby is close by. The Next2Me can also be used as a stand-alone crib and a travel crib, perfect for overnight stays at grandparents. The size of this bed allows your baby plenty of room to move, wriggle and grow, but that does mean it is quite chunky so you may struggle to fit it into smaller spaces. Our mum thought it was a great size for her 30s semi and the adjustable height settings allowed her to align the crib perfectly to her bed.This is an area that didn’t score as highly as other baby beds we tested, such as the Tutti Bambini CoZee Bedside Crib. Has a one-handed side panel which slides up and down for easy access when used as a co-sleeper crib The larger size is great for baby’s growth, but the crib feels too big to keep moving around the house – even though it has wheels

There are lots of pictures, which are quite baffling, but once you get going the bed is actually quite straightforward to set up. Anna felt it was easier not to look at the instructions as most of it you can work out for yourself. Just make sure you read the safety advice. If you (the customer) return the goods using a different method / courier then you are liable for the cost of returning goods. For added convenience, once folded, the Next2me is super compact and thanks to its travel bag (included), can be taken anywhere, making the Next2me Go the perfect travel crib for smart parents.

There’s so much about this bed that really tries to make life easier for parents. As our mum was breastfeeding (and up quite a lot during the night), she got to make use of the bed when in side-sleeper mode. There are no loose parts or gaps around the mattress once fitted, which feels firm but comfortable and has a breathable cover. The mesh windows encourage air to flow easily throughout the crib and all the corners are covered so there are no sharp bits to catch yourself on. Zips feel safe for little fingers and there are no gaps on the sliding rail for them to get caught. When the crib is not attached to the bed you should always make sure that the side is up.

in-1 – can be used as a stand-alone crib, side-sleeper and includes a travel bag so you can use it as a travel cot away from home too She did find it very simple to make the switch to a stand-alone crib, though, with the mesh panels on both sides allowing you to see your baby at all times. How safe is it? The Chicco Next2Me Magic Side-Sleeper is a stylish, clean design that comes in two neutral colours – cool grey and snow white – and would fit any décor. Really easy to comfort baby in the night when in side-sleeping mode as you don’t have to get out of bed The only other thing you may need to consider getting is a second bed for naps as our tester did feel it was too big to move around a house or even use as a travel cot.The Chicco Next2Me Magic is the latest version of the award-winning Chicco Next2Me side-sleeper – and they have done all they can to try and make it even more functional.
