Mehack, a MFM home tester, was awed by the feature that this model comes with a bassinet that can be used all around the house. It also comes with a manual rocking feature. It was simple to put together, and even came with a travel cot bedside crib bag.

Size

Cots and cots differ in size and size, with cots being a bit smaller than beds for cots. They also can be converted into toddler beds, while the cot beds are typically used until three years old. older. There are two sizes of wooden cots - big and standard, which can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. Choosing the larger one is a good choice if you want your child to sleep in it until the age of approximately three.

MFM mother home tester Jasmine liked that this bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. Jasmine says it's easy to get the baby into and out of the cot for night feeds or for soothing and that it's quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are cheap and flimsy.

Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi Lora can be used in a variety of ways it's a drop-off bassinet that you can move around the home, and it's a blast too. It also has a reflux incline option and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted 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 have to purchase a brand new mattress when your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib vs cot crib, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It should also be able to be dropped to the ground so that you can pull your baby towards you for night feeds or soothing. This feature is especially useful in the event of recovering from a C Section. The Next2me cot and the Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to a maximum height of 58cm, while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm and the Knuma Hutch to 70cm.

It is also important to consider the level you'd like the base of your crib to be. While some moms find it easier to lift their babies out of the standard Moses baskets when they are at the lowest height, other mums prefer a higher base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option with one of our mum testers stating that it comes with a simple collapsible side that is easy to push down with the click of the button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device is only suitable in the event that your baby can hold his head without assistance, which is typically around 6 months. This is due to the risk of inhaling suffocation. It is also important to remember that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a cot it is necessary to remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this to ensure they don't get out of bed or fall out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs that are bedside, ranging from basic to extravagant. The more luxurious options may include features such as an integrated night light and a calming centre which plays music and sounds and has two levels of vibration to help soothe baby back to sleep, or even the swivelling base which allows you to easily get your baby's food in the right place. Some models can be converted into the toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that allows you to pick up your baby and move them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of the bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or who require a bed for longer periods of time. Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested this product at home, stated that it was easy to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby, especially after having a C-section.

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

MFM mum home test Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib and travel cot crib she explained how it was created with parents and babies in mind. 'It has an excellent design that is extremely simple to operate and is extremely sturdy. She also said that the swivelling bassinet base was brilliant because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to facilitate access for mothers who are recovering from c-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot (look at this website)'s main safety characteristic is the fact that it can easily be moved up or down so that parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort him or her diaper. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from an C-section. It is recommended to choose an option that allows you to lower the sides of the bed by pressing a button. This will allow you to lift your child up without getting out of the bed. This is especially crucial as your baby grows older and more mobile. You'll also want to avoid adding anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, including pillows and duvets. These can cause babies to overheat.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues that include gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For example the products would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements were not feasible or effective in reducing amount of instances where infants are trapped between the bedside rail as well as an adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers that could be converted into other types of use, such as bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use which would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently attached or removed when the product 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 sleepers who are 4-in-1 bedside crib. The Commission will be examining these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
