Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to let parents snuggle with their infant at night without the risk of SIDS. However they are only suitable for use up to 6 months, when your baby will need to move into a cot or a moses basket.

Mehack, a MFM home tester, was impressed by the fact that this model has a bassinet that can be used around the house. It also has an option to rock manually. It was also easy to put together and came with its own bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots and cots differ in terms of size and size, with cots being a bit smaller than cot beds. bedside crib and travel cot can also convert into toddler beds. However they are typically used for children up to the age of three. If you're considering a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes to choose from - standard and large - both of which can be converted into a cot/toddler bed. If you wish for your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a larger cot, it's a great option to select the larger size.

MFM mother home test Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was slightly bigger than a Moses basket but not too large for her baby's room. It's easy to carry her child in and out for night feeding or calming and that the quality is excellent in comparison to other cots she's seen that are flimsy.

Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi Lora can be used in a variety of ways It's a bassinet that lifts off that you can move around the house, and it rocks too. It also comes with a reflux incline option and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike many international or European brands. This means you don't need to buy an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it does require an exclusive bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here.

Height

When choosing a bedside cot choose one that can be elevated to a height that is comfortable for you when feeding baby. It must also be lower to a level that is not in the way so you can raise your baby towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This is particularly useful in the event of recovering from a C-section. The Next2me Cot and Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to a maximum height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm and the Knuma Hutch can be adjusted to 70cm.

It is also important to consider the level you would like the bottom of your crib to be. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their babies from their standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest level, while others prefer a higher elevation to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice and one of our mum test subjects saying that it comes with a simple collapsible part that you can press down at the touch of one button.

Remember that a bedside or bassinet should only be used until your baby can hold their head up without assistance generally around 6 months. This is due to the risk of suffocation. It is also important to be aware that when your child is old enough to be able to convert an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot, you must take the sides off once they are able to do this. This will prevent them from climbing out or falling out of bed.

Design

There are many different styles of cribs that are bedside, ranging from basic to lavish. The more expensive options could include features like an integrated night light and a calming centre which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels of vibrating to help soothe your baby to sleep, or an adjustable base that makes it easier to get your baby's food in the right place. You may also find some models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to transition to their own bigger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance, won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your baby and move them to the other side of the crib without having to get out of bed. bedside crib and travel cot is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean or need to stay in bed for longer periods of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, stating that it was simple to use and made reaching her baby easier particularly after her c-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib and has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's bigger than other cribs for bed that we've tested, however it folds into its travel bag to make it a small size when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester, also praised the bedside crib's functionality. She claimed that it was designed for parents and babies. 'It has an excellent design that is very simple to operate and is extremely durable. She said that the bassinet's swivelling base was fantastic because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to facilitate access, especially for new mums recovering from C-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it can be easily adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or his or her nappies. This makes it ideal for new mothers recovering from the C-section. You should choose the design that lets you lower the sides of the bed with a single button press. This allows you to raise your child without having to get out of bed. This is essential, especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. It is also important to avoid adding anything to the cot that increases the chance of suffocation or injury, such as duvets and pillows, which could cause babies to become overheated.

bedside crib that turns into cot included 24 incidents that were attributed to product issues, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) as well as consumer misassembly, or missing components (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example they would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are trapped by the bedside rail as well as an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that can be converted to other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multi-use bedside sleepers that would allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets through the use of an attachment that can be connected permanently or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these comments and others received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will take into account these comments when it votes on the final rule that is expected to come out in November 2021.
