Restore & Refresh Your Chicco Next2Me

Whether you're dealing with a broken zip, worn mattress, damaged mattress board, or a crib that has been sitting in storage for a while, this guide covers some of the most common Chicco Next2Me restoration and replacement options.

Many parents find themselves preparing a Next2Me for:

  • Another baby within the family

  • A second-hand purchase

  • A hand-me-down from friends or relatives

  • Use after long-term loft or garage storage

Broken Zip On Your Chicco Next2Me?

One of the most common issues we see is a broken zip slider.

The good news is that a damaged zip slider doesn't always mean the entire fabric section needs replacing.

Many zips can be repaired using universal replacement zip sliders, making them a quick and cost-effective repair for:

  • Broken zip sliders

  • Missing zip pulls

  • Stuck zips

  • Worn zip mechanisms

These replacement zip sliders can also be useful for prams, travel bags, storage bags, coats, and many other household items.

Need A Replacement Mattress Too?

NHS guidance strongly recommends replacing a crib mattress for each new baby, even if the mattress was previously used by your own child.

Over time mattresses can become worn, lose firmness, absorb moisture, or simply be stored in less-than-ideal conditions.

Many parents choose to replace the mattress when:

  • Preparing for a new baby

  • Reusing a family crib

  • Purchasing a second-hand crib

  • Bringing a crib back into use after storage

A replacement mattress is often one of the first purchases made during a crib restoration project.

Replacing The Mattress? Check The Mattress Board Too

If you're replacing the mattress, it's also a good opportunity to inspect the mattress support board underneath.

While many parents focus on the mattress itself, the support board may have experienced years of use, storage, moisture exposure, or accidental spills.

Common issues include:

  • Warping

  • Cracking

  • Moisture damage

  • Mould growth

  • Surface contamination

  • Missing support boards

  • Damage from poor storage

This is especially worth checking when:

  • Buying second-hand

  • Receiving a hand-me-down

  • Reusing a crib for another child

  • Bringing a crib down from loft storage

Many parents choose to replace both the mattress and mattress board together when refreshing a crib.

Storing Your Next2Me Between Children

If you're not planning to use your bedside crib again immediately, proper storage can help reduce future issues.

Many parents choose to use large vacuum storage bags when storing:

  • Bedside cribs

  • Moses baskets

  • Mattresses

  • Baby clothes

  • Bedding

  • Nursery items

Vacuum storage bags can help reduce dust, moisture exposure, and storage space requirements while also remaining useful for many other household storage purposes.
