Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots, also referred as bassinets or co-sleepers are designed to allow parents to rest close to their children at night without the danger of SIDS. However, they are only suggested for use until 6 months when your baby will be required to be moved into a cot or moses basket.

MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model features a lift-off bassinet you can use around the house and an option to rock manually. It was also easy to put together and came with its own bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They also can be converted into toddler beds, while cot beds are generally only used up to three years old. There are two sizes of wooden cots - big and standard that can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. If  co sleeper bedside cot  wish for your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in the larger cot, it's an excellent idea to pick the larger one.

Jasmine is an MFM mom who tried the product at home, said she liked that it was a bit bigger than the typical Moses basket, but not too big for the room of her baby. It's easy to lift her baby in and out for night feeding or soothing and that the quality is great, compared with many she's seen that feel flimsy.

Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product - it's a lift-off bassinet that can be moved around the home, and it's rocking too. It also has an incline of reflux as well as a machine washable liner that breathes. And it was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike many international or European brands. This means you don't need to buy a brand new mattress when your baby grows. However, it requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here is the ideal mattress for your cot.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be raised up to a level that is comfortable for feeding your the baby. It must also be able of being dropped down out of the way to allow you to lift your baby up towards you for night feeds or soothing. This feature is especially helpful when you're recovering from an operation such as a C-section. The Next2me cot and the Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to an maximum height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm and the Knuma Hutch to 70cm.

You should also think about how low you'd like the base of your crib to be. While some moms find it easier to lift their babies out of standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, others prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our testers for mums said that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It is an easily collapsible side that which you can use to touch the button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should not be used until your baby can hold their head up without assistance generally approximately 6 months. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. It is also important to be aware that when your child is old enough to convert an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot you will have to remove the sides when they are able to do this. This will stop them from getting out or falling out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs for bedside use, ranging from basic to lavish. The more luxurious options may include features like a built-in night light and a calming centre which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels of vibration to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or an adjustable base that allows you to easily reach your child for feedings. Certain models can be converted into an infant bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed.

For example, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you pick up your newborn and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get out of bed. This makes it ideal for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean or require the bed for extended periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made reaching her baby easier particularly after her c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also includes an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's bigger than the other cribs for bed that we tested, but it folds down into its bag for travel, making it compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester also appreciated the bedside crib's function. She claimed that it was designed for parents and children. It is lightweight and easy to move. Its swivelling base is brilliant because it allows you to move the bassinet from side to side and one of its sides can be opened down to ease access especially for new mothers who are recovering from C-sections', she said.

Safety

The most important security aspect of a large bedside cot is that it can be moved up or down to allow parents to reach their baby when they require to feed them, soothe them or change their nappy. This means that it's ideal for new mothers who may still be recovering from a C-section. Find a model that allows you to lower one side at the push of a button, so you can easily lift your baby without getting out of the bed. This is particularly important as your baby gets older and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, such as pillowcases and duvets that can cause your baby to overheat.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product like gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements were not efficient or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are entrapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside sleepers that can be transformed into other modes, such as bassinets or play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second provision to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. This attachment can be permanently fixed or removed when the item is not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is considering these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
