Cradle cots explained – a practical guide for parents
Cradle cots explained – a practical guide for parents
A cradle can be an invaluable help in the first months of a baby's life. It provides the baby with a safe and calm sleeping space close to the parents and makes it easier to comfort and breastfeed at night. At the same time, the gentle rocking motion can help the baby fall asleep and give parents more peace in everyday life.
In this article, you will get an overview of what you need to know before choosing a cradle, what types exist, and which features can make everyday life easier.
The article presents a selection of cradles in different designs, price ranges and with various features. The aim is to provide a broad overview of the market and help you understand which characteristics may be relevant for your family. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to give a clear and informative picture.
Factors to consider when buying a cradle
When choosing a cradle, there are several practical and safety aspects you should take into account. Here are some of the most important factors you can use as a starting point.
1. Safety and stability
Safety is crucial. Make sure the cradle meets current safety standards and that the construction is stable. Check that the rocking function can be locked so the cradle stands still when desired, and that the mattress fits precisely to the cradle’s dimensions.
2. Materials and ventilation
Wood or metal materials are the most common. Wooden cradles provide a classic look and are often made of FSC-certified wood, while metal frames can be lighter and more modern in design. Ensure that the sides allow good ventilation – for example, with mesh or slats.
3. Features and flexibility
Some cradles can be converted into a regular cot, travel cot or bedside crib, where the cradle can stand directly next to the parents’ bed. Others have adjustable height, wheels for easy movement or an automatic rocking function. Consider which features suit your needs.
4. Comfort and mattress type
A good mattress is important for the baby’s sleep and back support. Choose a firm mattress that fits the cradle’s size and has a removable and washable cover. Avoid mattresses that are too soft, as they can pose a safety risk.
5. Price and durability
The price depends on materials, design and features. A simple model may be perfectly adequate if it is only to be used in the first few months, while a multifunctional model can be a good investment if it can be used for a longer period.
Products in focus
The Sleepi V3 Bed in natural beech is designed to follow the child's development through the first years of life. The oval shape and soft lines create a safe atmosphere, while the construction in solid European beech wood provides stability and durability.
The bed can be adjusted in both height and length to suit the child's needs as they grow. The mattress base can be set at four levels, making it easier to adapt the bed to different ages and stages of development.
The wheels make it possible to move the bed and create a gentle rocking motion, but they can be locked for stability. As the child gets older, one side can be removed so the child can climb in and out of the bed independently.
The design has been developed with a focus on safety, air circulation, and functionality. The perforated mattress base ensures ventilation, and the curved edges eliminate sharp corners. Sleepi V3 is not compatible with older versions of Stokke Sleepi accessories made before September 2022.
- Adjustable construction: Can be adapted to the child's growth from newborn to approx. 5 years.
- Solid beech wood: Made from European beech with environmentally friendly lacquer.

The Boxspring bedside crib in beige was developed as a solution for high beds and box mattresses, where standard bedside cribs often do not fit in height. It has a solid construction and stepless height adjustment, so the lying surface can be precisely adapted to the parents' bed.
The bed is made of solid beech wood, which is naturally antibacterial and antistatic. All surfaces are treated with lacquers that are free from harmful substances and solvents, and tested according to DIN EN 71 part 3. This ensures that the product is safe for the child.
The base plate has ventilation holes that provide good air circulation around the mattress. The construction is so stable that it can support up to 150 kg, making it resistant to the load of an adult.
The bed can be easily and securely attached to the parents' bed without the use of tools. It can also be used as a bench or play table when the child grows older. With the addition of a side panel, it can be converted into a closed bed.
The product is TÜV-tested and produced by Tobi GmbH & Co. KG in Germany, while the actual manufacturing takes place in Turkey. The series has received several awards and is recommended by midwives and breastfeeding consultants as a practical solution for nighttime closeness and security.

Different types of cradles
There are many types of cradles, each with its own advantages depending on space, needs and lifestyle.
1. Classic cradles
The traditional cradle with curved legs or suspension that provides a gentle rocking motion. It is simple, stable and well suited for those who want a timeless design and natural movement.
2. Bedside cribs
A bedside crib can be attached to the parents’ bed so the baby lies close by but still safely in its own sleeping space. This type is ideal for night-time feeding and for parents who want closeness without co-sleeping.
3. Electric and automatic cradles
These models have a motorised rocking function that can be set to different rhythms. Some can even respond to the baby’s movements or crying. They are practical for parents who want extra help soothing the baby.
4. Multifunctional cradles
Some cradles can be converted into a cot, travel cot or carry cradle. They are often more expensive but can be used for a longer time and adapted to the child’s development.
5. Hanging cradles
Hanging cradles are suspended from the ceiling or a frame and provide a soft, floating motion. They are popular for their calming effect but require correct installation and supervision to be safe.
Different brands of cradles
The cradle market includes a number of well-known manufacturers, each with their own focus and design philosophy.
BabyDan
BabyDan is known for functional and safe products for families with small children. Their cradles focus on stability, adjustability and user-friendliness, often with the option to attach the cradle to the parents’ bed.
Troll Nursery

Chicco
Chicco offers a wide range of bedside cribs and cradles with modern features such as adjustable height, wheels and rocking function. The brand is known for user-friendly solutions that suit busy parents.
Stokke
Stokke combines design and functionality in its products. Their cradles and cots can often be adjusted and grow with the child, making them a long-term investment.
Leander
Leander is a Danish brand that focuses on aesthetics and movement. Their hanging cradles and cots are designed to provide a natural, soothing rhythm reminiscent of the movement in the mother’s womb.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a baby use a cradle?
Most cradles are intended for the first 4–6 months, or until the baby can roll over or sit up. After that, the baby should be moved to a larger bed for safety reasons.
Is a cradle necessary?
A cradle is not a must, but many parents find that it provides security and better sleep for both baby and parents. It can be a good investment in the first few months.
Can a cradle be used as a travel cot?
Some models can be folded or converted into a travel cot, but most are intended for stationary use. If you travel a lot, a combined solution can be practical.
How do you clean a cradle?
Wipe the cradle with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wash covers and textiles according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and make sure everything is completely dry before using it again.
Are hanging cradles safe?
Yes, if used correctly and installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is important to check the suspension and ropes regularly and never leave the baby unattended.
