Pro Tip: If you’re restoring a secondhand Chicco Next2Me, always replace key sleep surfaces like the mattress and mattress board to ensure hygiene and safety.
1. Chicco Next2Me Replacement Mattress
If you're using a secondhand Chicco Next2Me crib, it’s highly recommended to replace the mattress. Used crib mattresses can be unhygienic and may no longer meet safe sleep standards due to sagging, trapped moisture, or hidden allergens. A brand-new, properly fitted Next2Me-compatible mattress ensures your baby sleeps on a clean, firm, and breathable surface—critical for safe infant sleep. Look for mattresses made from breathable foam or natural fibers that match the exact Next2Me dimensions for a snug, secure fit.
2. Replacement Mattress Board for Chicco Next2Me
Over time, the original Chicco Next2Me mattress board may become damaged, warped, or even lost, especially with secondhand cribs. A firm, well-fitted mattress board supports the mattress evenly and creates a level, safe sleeping surface for your baby. Replacing it helps restore structure and stability to the crib and ensures it meets modern safety standards.

3. Fitted Sheets for Chicco Next2Me
Invest in 2–3 fitted crib sheets made specifically for the Next2Me’s size. Having spares makes middle-of-the-night changes fast and stress-free. Choose soft, hypoallergenic fabrics like organic cotton.
4. Waterproof Mattress Protector
A waterproof crib mattress protector shields the mattress from spills, leaks, and nighttime accidents while allowing airflow. This extends the life of your mattress and makes clean-ups much easier.
5. Breathable Baby Blanket
A lightweight, breathable baby blanket can provide warmth without overheating. Always follow safe sleep guidelines—no loose blankets for newborns; consider a baby sleep sack instead.
6. Soft Nightlight for Night Feeds
A warm-glow nightlight helps you tend to your baby without waking them fully. Opt for dimmable or motion-activated designs to make night feeds easier.
7. Bedside Storage Caddies
Bedside crib storage caddies keep diapers, wipes, pacifiers, and spare clothes within arm’s reach, making nighttime care quick and convenient.
