Choosing a Bedside Crib is an important decision when preparing for a new baby. Keeping your little one close during those early months can make night-time feeds and check-ins more convenient, but with different Bedside Crib options available, it can be difficult to know which features are right for your family.
The Chicco Next2Me range offers different solutions depending on your needs. Some parents are looking for a feature-packed Bedside Crib for the newborn stage, while others want a crib designed to last longer or a solution specifically created for twins.
In this guide, we take a closer look at the Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo and compare it with the other Chicco Next2Me cribs available at Pramworld: the Chicco Next2Me Forever and Chicco Next2Me Twins.
What Is the Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo?
The Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo is a feature-packed Bedside Crib designed for babies from birth up to 9kg.
It can be used alongside a compatible adult bed or as a standalone crib and includes a range of practical features designed to make everyday life with a newborn easier.
The Magic Evo is particularly known for its one-handed sliding side panel and cleverly folding feet, but there are plenty of other features that make it a versatile option for the newborn stage.
Features You'll Appreciate During Those Night-Time Moments
The Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo has been designed with everyday convenience in mind.
From getting closer to your baby during the night to positioning the crib alongside your bed, its features are designed to make those first few months a little easier.
One-Hand Sliding Side Panel
One of the standout features of the Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo is its improved sliding side panel.
The panel can be opened and closed smoothly using one hand and a simple button press.
This is particularly useful during night-time feeds or when you need easy access to your baby, as you may not always have both hands free.
For parents looking for a Bedside Crib with a one-handed side panel, this is one of the Magic Evo's biggest benefits.
Folding Feet for a Closer Fit
Not every bed has space underneath for traditional Bedside Crib legs.
The Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo features cleverly folding feet, allowing the crib to fit more conveniently alongside compatible bed frames.
This can be particularly useful for bedroom setups with divan beds, storage beds or solid bed bases.
Always check the manufacturer's compatibility guidance before attaching a Bedside Crib to your bed.
11 Adjustable Height Positions
Adult beds come in different heights, so flexibility can be an important consideration when choosing a Bedside Crib.
The Magic Evo features independently adjustable legs with 11 height positions, allowing the crib to be positioned to suit a compatible adult bed.
Gentle Rocking Function
When used as a standalone crib, the Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo features an easy-to-activate rocking function.
This gives parents additional flexibility when the crib is being used away from the bed.
The rocking function should always be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Breathable Mesh Windows and 3D Mesh Mattress
The Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo features two air-mesh windows and a firm 3D mesh mattress with a removable cover.
These features are designed to promote airflow and provide a comfortable sleep space for your baby.
Adjustable Tilt Function
The independently adjustable legs allow the Magic Evo to be tilted by up to 10 degrees.
This provides additional flexibility when positioning the crib. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and current safe sleep guidance when using any adjustable feature on a baby's sleep product.
Four Lockable Swivel Wheels
The Magic Evo features four swivel wheels with locks, making it easier to move around when required.
Once positioned, the wheels can be locked securely into place.
Travel Bag Included
The Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo includes a travel bag for storage and transportation.
This makes the crib easier to assemble, disassemble and take away from home when required.
