Hi all,

wondering if anyone has used the chico next to me crib/cot or the mamas and papas Snuzpod, or something similar?

I want something for baby number 2 to sleep next to bed in without me having to get up and down all night long (barring all unavoidable newborn reasons I might have to get up and down for all night long anyway!). My last baby was a whopper and I'm thinking this one will be too so need something spacious for it to last the optimum length. I like the look of the Chico Next2Me for this reason...but has anyone used anything else?

Thanks for any advice.

I swear by the bednest - think it's the simplest and best of it's kind out there. Used ours from birth to 6 months and loved it. Fantastic for breastfeeding at night and you get all the benefits of co-sleeping without actually bedsharing all night. you can hire them from NCT or buy new and can also pick up easily second hand online (which is what we did but bought a new mattress/sheets)

My first never settled well in her Moses basket so spent most nights in bed with us.


I bought a snuzpod this time and love it! My son is 5months now and quite tall but still fits nicely in it. I sleep much better knowing I'm not going up squash him but like him being close so I can still reach to settle him if needed without moving out of bed!

We have a baby bay maxi which is fab. I didn't have a cosleeper for my first and i regret that now! My first was also a big baby so I went for a larger cosleeping cot as my friends babies had outgrown some cosleepers by 3 months. My daughter is almost 4 months and despite being really long, there is still plenty of space for her. Its more expensive than the chicco but I preferred the way it attaches to the bed and doesn't leave a gap at all. We also have a detachable side for the baby bay so it can be freestanding too.
I also had a bednest which we rented and just bought the mattress new from Little Green Sheep as I had heard the standard mattress that comes with the bedpost (also new) was a bit thin. You just have the bed itself which is 'used' but ours looked like new and then the mattress and fabric panels come new and wrapped. Loved it! We were sad when baby grew out of it around 7 months (he is a long baby!)

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
