That makes it easier to move the crib around your home, to keep your baby close at all times, and it makes traveling simple too. The covers are easy to remove and wash, but the outer fabric does crease easily, which we found after disassembling the cot and putting it in the travel bag. You can have one end set slightly higher, ideal if you have a baby that suffers from colic or reflux. Iora can be used as a stand-alone crib anywhere in the house and the mesh sides make it easy for you to keep an eye on your baby.

This means two things; one, you can bring your baby as close as you need to reach them at night and two, you can rock the crib from side to side to soothe your little one to sleep. Making sure your little one is sleeping in a safe and comfortable cot is the first step and might comfort you. The Air is height adjustable, of course, so it is almost certain to fit your bed and it has a removable crib section too, so it can be used around your home and for travel.

Our parent reviewer Rachel Jacobs and her son Ariel, four months, loved how easy it was to get going with the crib. Both of the crib’s sides are made from breathable mesh so that your baby can be reassured by seeing you whenever they wake and the mattress is also covered with 3D mesh for a comfortable and breathable night’s sleep.

One noteworthy thing about this bedside crib is that it’s not only a standalone crib as well, but it has the option to grow alongside your child. It has a reflex leg, a little kick-out stand on one side of the base that raises the head end of the crib, so that babies with colic and reflux will feel more comfortable while still laying completely flat, which is recommended for babies’ breathing and spine development. For a bedside crib, it’s quite spacious, with a generous sleeping space and the mattress is firm and comfortable. Thanks to the Iora’s five different height positions and easy co-sleeping slide function, your baby always fits perfectly next to you. It offers six height positions, a tilt option for babies suffering from reflux, congestion or colic, and a useful storage shelf to keep baby items close by.
