Rent a baby bed – sleep safely, stay flexible
The first time together with your baby is an adventure – beautiful, chaotic and sometimes pretty sleepless. Between night feeds, tiny hands and big emotions one thing is clear: a good sleeping place is worth its weight in gold.
The baby bed quickly becomes the centre of your new everyday life – a safe place for rest, closeness and little dream journeys. Whether next to the parents’ bed, in the living room or on the go: this is where your baby feels secure, and you get back a little piece of peace of mind – especially practical when you can simply rent the right bed instead of searching endlessly.

Why a baby bed is the right choice – and which one suits you best
A baby bed is the calm centre of your family life. In the first months, closeness is what counts – a bedside crib next to the parents’ bed offers security and makes nights more relaxed. Once your baby becomes more mobile or you’re on the road more often, a travel cot is ideal: lightweight, foldable and ready in seconds.
The two don’t exclude each other – many families use the bedside crib at night and the travel cot as a flexible second bed. If you’re thinking long term, you can choose a growing model that later converts into a toddler bed. That way your sleep setup stays as flexible as you are.
Baby bed, bedside crib or travel cot – what suits you best?
Whether classic, growing or mobile baby bed – each option has its moment. And with renting, you stay flexible: you only use what fits right now and simply switch when your baby is ready for the next chapter.
Safety in the baby bed – what parents really want to know
Hardly any topic concerns new parents as much as safety in the baby bed. Many ask themselves: “Is my baby really sleeping safely?” or “What belongs in the baby bed – and what doesn’t?” The good news: with a few simple rules, you can make sure your baby sleeps safely and calmly – whether in a bedside crib or a travel cot.
Tips for safe sleep in the baby bed:
- • Less is more: Your baby only needs a firm mattress, a fitted sheet and a baby sleeping bag in the bed – no pillows, duvets or cot bumpers.
- • Back sleeping is safest: Babies sleep best on their back. This position is recommended by paediatricians as the safest.
- • The right temperature: 16 to 18 degrees are ideal. Better a light sleeping bag than too many layers.
- • Stable base: Make sure the construction is stable, with no protruding screws or gaps.
- • Closeness provides security: A bedside crib like the Chicco Next2Me allows calm nights with close contact, without your baby sleeping in the parents’ bed.
All baby beds at StrollMe comply with current safety standards. Models such as the Bugaboo Stardust or the Nuna PAAL offer sturdy frames, high-quality materials and tested ergonomics – for safe and relaxed sleep right from the start.
Which size & equipment is ideal for which age?
Babies grow quickly – and the right baby bed grows with them. In the first months, newborns feel secure in a compact bedside crib. From around six months, more space is welcome: a larger baby bed or a travel cot with a stable, breathable mattress. Growing models accompany your child right into toddler age – especially practical when you rent the baby bed and want to stay flexible.
Which bed size fits which age?
A suitable baby bed provides safety and comfort at every stage of development – and with StrollMe rental you stay flexible at all times.
Ergonomic sleep – baby bed and cradle in comparison
Babies sleep a lot – and their bodies develop rapidly in the process. Healthy baby sleep needs an ergonomic environment that provides support and relieves the spine. The baby bed is the safe base, while a cradle can help gently rock your baby to sleep.
What to look out for with ergonomic sleep:
- • Firm, level sleeping surface: supports natural spinal development.
- • Back rather than tummy position: considered the safest sleeping position for newborns.
- • Breathable mattress and covers: ensure a good climate and prevent heat build-up.
- • No accessories in the bed: your baby sleeps safest in a sleeping bag – without pillows, duvets or bumpers.
- • Enough freedom to move: arms and legs should be able to stretch freely.
While the baby bed is ideal for longer sleep phases and night-time safety, the cradle is perfect for shorter rest periods, drifting off to sleep or for babies who need closeness and movement. The two complement each other perfectly – the baby bed as a fixed sleeping place, the cradle as a gentle everyday sleep aid.
Baby bed vs. cradle – what works when?
The baby bed remains the most important sleeping place – safe, stable and ergonomic. A cradle is the perfect complement: it helps your baby drift off to sleep, soothes and offers a sense of security.
FAQ – frequently asked questions about baby beds
From when does a baby sleep in its own bed?
In the first months, babies feel most comfortable in a bedside crib right next to their parents. From around six months – when your baby sleeps more calmly and can roll safely – moving to their own baby bed such as the Bugaboo Stardust or Nuna PAAL can make sense.
Which is better: bedside crib or travel cot?
Both have their place. A bedside crib such as the Chicco Next2Me provides closeness at night in the first months. A travel cot – for example the Bugaboo Stardust – is ideal for trips or as a flexible second bed. Many families combine both options and stay flexible.
Can I rent a used baby bed?
With StrollMe, every baby bed arrives in perfect condition. All models – whether from Chicco, Bugaboo or Nuna – are checked and safety-inspected before rental and ready to use immediately.
How long do you use a baby bed?
A bedside crib is usually ideal up to the sixth or ninth month. Growing or larger models such as the Nuna PAAL can support your child up to around their second birthday.
Is a cradle a replacement for a baby bed?
No. The cradle is a helpful addition for short rest periods or drifting off to sleep, but it does not replace a baby bed. For longer sleep phases, a fixed bed such as the Bugaboo Stardust or Chicco Next2Me remains the safe choice.
Can I change the baby bed if our needs change?
Yes – that’s exactly the advantage at StrollMe. After the end of your rental period, you can switch from a bedside crib to a travel cot such as the Bugaboo Stardust whenever your baby gets bigger or you need more flexibility.
Which mattress is included with the rental baby bed?
All baby beds at StrollMe are delivered with a matching ergonomic mattress. It is breathable, stable and tailored to the respective model.
How is the baby bed delivered and assembled?
The bed is delivered straight to your home. Assembly is simple, usually tool-free, and done within a few minutes – after that your baby can sleep safely.
What happens if something gets damaged?
Minor signs of use are no problem. If anything more serious happens, the StrollMe team will take care of it quickly and easily – so your everyday life stays relaxed.
