Baby Cribs UK – Give Your Newborn the Best Start

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most joyful experiences—and ensuring they sleep safely and soundly is at the heart of every parent’s planning. At Baby Travel, our handpicked collection of baby cribs UK is designed to help your newborn sleep in comfort, right from their very first night at home.

From traditional wooden cribs to space-saving mini cribs, we offer trusted solutions that bring peace of mind, functionality, and elegance into your nursery.

Why Choose a Baby Crib?

A crib is often the first bed your baby will sleep in and can be used from birth up to around 6 months or until your baby can roll over or push up. Cribs are more compact than cots, making them ideal for keeping in your bedroom during those first few precious months.

Our range of cribs is perfect for:

• Newborns from 0–6 months

• Small nursery spaces or co-sleeping arrangements

• Parents looking for mobility, comfort, and style

Cribs offer a snug environment that mimics the womb, helping babies feel secure and settle easier into sleep.

Our Range of Cribs

1. Traditional Wooden Cribs

These timeless designs bring a classic feel to your nursery. Crafted from sustainable wood, they’re sturdy, breathable, and feature slatted sides for full visibility and airflow.

2. Rocking & Gliding Cribs

Soothe your baby with gentle motion. Rocking cribs help calm fussiness and can promote deeper sleep, making them a popular choice for nighttime use.

3. Compact & Mini Cribs

Make the most of every inch with smart storage cribs that include drawers or compartments underneath—perfect for keeping baby essentials close at hand.

Cribs vs Moses Baskets – What’s the Difference?

Cribs provide a more structured, durable sleep space compared to Moses baskets. While Moses baskets are ultra-portable and lighter, cribs tend to be sturdier, last longer, and offer better airflow due to their slatted designs. They’re a fantastic choice for parents looking for a more permanent setup during the newborn months.

Creating the Perfect Crib Setup

For optimal comfort and safety, pair your crib with:

• A breathable, firm crib mattress

• Fitted crib sheets

• Cellular or lightweight blankets

• A sleeping bag suitable for your baby’s age

Avoid bulky bedding, pillows, or toys inside the crib to follow safe sleep guidelines.

When to Transition from Crib to Cot?

Babies usually outgrow their crib around 5–6 months, or when they start pushing up or rolling over. At this stage, it’s time to move to a cot or cot bed for extra space and safety. Many parents keep their cribs as secondary sleep spaces for naps or future siblings.
