The full review
The Next2Me Armonia is one of Chicco's long-running Next2Me bedside cribs, and it's in this roundup for the same reason as the SnuzPod: to show what you get without a smart crib's price tag. It fixes to your bed with a harness and a sliding system, and 11 height positions suit beds from 58cm to 70cm high, so your baby sleeps level with you but in their own space.
Its one piece of tech is a motion-sensor night light that comes on as you approach (or at the press of a button), has three brightness levels, clips to either end of the crib and goes to standby after five minutes. It's a small thing, but finding your way through a feed or nappy change without switching on the big light is exactly the sort of problem worth solving.
MadeForMums included it in its April 2026 bedside crib roundup at £179, noting that every crib on that list meets BS EN 1130:2019. There's no motion or sound, so it won't settle your baby for you, and the light needs two AA batteries. It's for babies up to 9kg or about six months, and it comes with a travel bag and four lockable wheels.
