The new regulations prohibit bedside cribs from having sides that completely drop down. Instead, many models come with half-height walls, which still allow your baby to lay next to your bed but provide more of a protective barrier by sinking a little lower than your mattress. All of the models we have listed conform to these new requirements which includes the Graco Pack 'n Play on the Go and the Chicco Lullago, which were both shortlisted for the Mother&Baby Awards in 2017.

It's also easy to assemble and fold up, and comes with a handy carry bag for trips to the grandparents.
