Tutti Bambini CoZee Breeze vs Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo: Which Bedside Crib Belongs Next to Your Bed?

COMPARISON · NURSERY & SLEEP

Bedside cribs are one of those purchases where every parent wants the same thing, a safe space close enough to reach baby without fully waking, but the details that separate one crib from another can feel surprisingly hard to pin down.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Breeze and the Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo are two of the UK's most popular bedside cribs, and they take genuinely different approaches to the same problem. One folds flat in seconds and travels like hand luggage; the other stays put and adjusts to practically any bed height or tilt angle. We dug into the specs, tested the mechanisms, and read hundreds of parent reviews to find out which one earns its place beside your bed.

How we picked these two

We started with the most-added bedside cribs on BubsNest registries, cross-referenced with UK parent review data and retailer best-seller lists. The CoZee Breeze and Next2Me Magic Evo kept surfacing because they represent the two main things parents want from a bedside crib: portability or adjustability. We read through hundreds of verified parent reviews, checked current stock and pricing across major UK retailers, and compared the official specifications side by side.

What to look for in a bedside crib

Height adjustment range. Your crib needs to match your mattress height exactly for safe co-sleeping. More height positions means a better chance of a flush fit. Measure your bed before you buy.

Side panel mechanism. You will open and close this panel multiple times a night, often one-handed while holding a sleepy baby. A quiet, one-hand mechanism saves you from waking a baby you have just settled.

Reflux and congestion support. If your baby struggles with reflux or a blocked nose, a tilt function can help. Some cribs offer a basic incline; others have multiple angle positions for more precise support.

Portability. If you plan to move the crib between rooms during the day, take it to grandparents, or travel with it, check the fold-down size and weight. A travel bag is a genuine bonus, not a gimmick.

Bed compatibility. Divan beds, platform beds, and bed frames with storage drawers can all cause problems. Check that the crib's legs or feet will actually fit alongside your specific bed type before ordering.

Mattress quality. Most included mattresses are adequate but thin. Some parents choose to upgrade, so check whether replacements are available and affordable for your chosen crib.

1. Tutti Bambini CoZee Breeze / 10 · Best for Travel & Value

The CoZee Breeze is Tutti Bambini's 2025 upgrade to their original CoZee, and the improvements are targeted. Two breathable mesh panels instead of one, a wood-effect top rail for a cleaner nursery look, and built-in lockable castors so you can wheel it from bedroom to living room without lifting. It converts from bedside crib to standalone bassinet with a single zip, and the whole thing folds flat in about 30 seconds.

At around £147, it comes in noticeably under most competitors while including a travel bag, mattress, castors, and safety straps in the box. For parents who plan to move the crib around or take it to grandparents, the CoZee Breeze is hard to beat on convenience.

What parents love

• Incredibly quick setup. One parent told us: "Assembly took around five minutes, and the instructions were clear with useful step-by-step illustrations." The fold/unfold takes about 30 seconds once you know the mechanism.
• Genuinely portable. It folds to just 12 cm deep, fits in the included carry bag, and at roughly 10 kg is manageable for one person. Ideal for grandparent visits and holidays.
• Strong airflow. Dual mesh side panels and a ventilated corn fibre mattress keep baby cool. The Breeze won the 2025 Bounty Baby Award for Best Nursery Item.
• Great value for money. Mattress, travel bag, safety straps, and castors all included at a price that undercuts most rivals by £30-£50.

What to know before you buy

• Bed attachment takes patience. Parents we hear from regularly mention that fastening the safety straps to the bed frame is fiddly and can take 10-15 minutes the first time. A second pair of hands helps.
• Fewer height positions than rivals. Six levels (roughly 49-64 cm) versus eleven on the Chicco. If your bed is unusually high or low, measure carefully before ordering.
• Mattress is on the thin side. The included corn fibre mattress is firm and breathable, but some parents find it too thin and buy a replacement for around £20-£30.

Best for

• Parents who travel frequently or visit family often
• Budget-conscious first-time parents
• Smaller homes where the crib needs to store flat when not in use
• C-section recovery - the castors and lightweight frame make it easy to reposition

2. Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo / 10 · Best Overall

The Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo is the latest in a line that has arguably defined the bedside crib category in the UK. Eleven height levels, a four-position tilt for reflux support, a one-hand sliding barrier, and a built-in rocking mode make it the most feature-dense crib at this price point. At 10.7 kg it is not the lightest, but it rolls smoothly on four swivel wheels with brakes.

What sets the Magic Evo apart from the broader Next2Me range is the combination of the rocking function and the retractable feet that slide under divan beds, two features that solve real-world problems other cribs simply do not address. At £199 RRP (often found for around £140-£160 on promotion), it is a well-established choice for parents who want one crib that handles every scenario from reflux nights to restless settling.

What parents love

• Unmatched adjustability. Eleven height levels fit beds from 52-67 cm, and four tilt positions (up to 10 degrees) offer genuine reflux support. No other crib at this price matches that range.
• One-hand side drop. A parent shared: "The sliding front is really nice and gives lots of confidence for safe sleeping. So easy to get baby in and out."
• Rocking mode. Activates with a simple gesture when used as a standalone crib. Parents consistently mention it as the feature that settles their baby back to sleep at 3 am.
• Divan-bed compatibility. Retractable feet slide under divan bases and beds with storage drawers, solving a fitment problem that catches many parents out with other brands.

What to know before you buy

• Bulkier than the competition. At roughly 11 kg and 99 cm wide, it does not move between rooms as easily as lighter cribs. Moving it upstairs solo is a two-person job.
• Assembly instructions need patience. We hear repeatedly from parents that the image-only manual is printed small and hard to follow. One parent put it best: "I could have done with a magnifying glass."
• Hand-wash covers only. The fabric covers are zip-off but cannot be machine-washed. They are also tight-fitting and awkward to reattach after cleaning.

Best for

• Parents of reflux or congestion-prone babies
• Families with divan beds or unusual bed heights
• Parents who want a feature-complete crib that stays in the bedroom
• Second-time parents who know exactly what they need from a co-sleeper

How to choose

Go with the Tutti Bambini CoZee Breeze if portability is a priority. It folds flat, travels well, costs less, and sets up in seconds. It is the better pick for parents who move between rooms frequently, visit family often, or need a crib that tucks away when guests arrive. The trade-off is fewer height positions and a basic incline rather than a dedicated reflux tilt.

Go with the Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo if you want the most adjustable, feature-rich crib and plan to keep it in one spot. The reflux tilt, rocking mode, and divan-friendly feet solve problems that other cribs leave to parents to figure out. It costs more and weighs more, but for parents who value "set it up once and forget about it," it is hard to look past.

Both cribs meet the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety standard, include a travel bag and mattress, and suit babies from birth to 6 months (up to 9 kg). If your baby has reflux, the Chicco is the clear choice. If you are watching the budget or need to travel, the CoZee Breeze delivers more than its price suggests.

Add it to your Nest

Whichever crib you choose, add it to your free BubsNest registry so family and friends know exactly which one to get. One less thing to worry about during those first bleary-eyed weeks.
