It is possible to lower the side panel itself, but this isn't recommended because it increases the chance that your baby will fall out of the cot. However, the patented safety locking mechanism guarantees that it can only remain in place if it is connected to the parent's bed correctly. This is an excellent feature to have for peace of mind, especially in the case of breastfeeding and frequent night feeds.

It's a bit heavier than other side-sleepers, but it's easily moved from one room to another. It's also small enough to fit in a travel bag when not in use which is an advantage in the event that you have to transport it.
