Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots, also referred as bassinets or co-sleepers are designed to let parents sleep close to their babies at night, without the risk of SIDS. They are recommended for up to 6 months, when your baby will be ready to move to an actual cot.

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

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. They also often convert into toddler beds, whereas the cot beds are typically used until three years old. older. If you're looking for a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which will convert into a cot bed/toddler mattress. If you'd like your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a larger cot, it's a good option to select the larger one.

MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved that the bedside cot co sleeper cot was slightly larger than the Moses basket but not too large for her baby's room. Jasmine says it's easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot during evening feedings or to soothe and that the quality is superior to others she has seen that are cheap and flimsy.

Emily, another home tester, loves the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora - it is a portable, lift-off bassinet. It also rocks. It also has an option to tilt the reflux upwards and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike other international or European brands. This means you do not need to purchase a new mattress every time your baby grows. However, it requires an exclusive bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot bedside here.

Height

When selecting a cot for the bed choose one that can be raised up to a level that is comfortable for you when feeding the baby. It must also be lower away from the way, so that you can pull your baby to feed them at night or comfort him. This feature is especially helpful when you're recovering from a C-section. The Next2me cot and the Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to the 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. Some moms find it is easier to lift their infants from their standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest point, while others prefer a higher level to give them greater stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice and one of our mum testers saying that it comes with a simple collapsible side that you can press down at the touch of a button.

Be aware that a bedside or bassinet device is only suitable when your baby is able to hold his head without assistance, which is typically around 6 months. This is because of the danger of being suffocated. It's also important to know that if you choose a bedside sleeper or bassinet that you can convert into a cot and vice versa, you must remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this, so that they don't get out of bed or fall out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of styles of cribs for beds with a range of styles from simple to luxurious. The more luxurious options may include features such as an integrated night light, a soothing centre which plays music and sounds and has two levels of vibrations to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or even a swivelling base that makes it easier to get your baby's food in the right place. There are also models that can be converted to an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to transition to their own bigger bed.

For example, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that allows you to take your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get up. This is great for new mums recovering from Caesarean sections or those who have to stay in bed for prolonged periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested this product at home, stated that it was easy to use and made it easier to reach her baby - especially after a C-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and comes with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's bigger than other cribs for bed that we tested, but it folds down into its travel bag, 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 to be used by parents and children. It is a fantastic design that is extremely simple to operate and is extremely sturdy. Its swivelling base is brilliant because it lets you move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be opened down to ease access - particularly for new mums who are recovering from C-sections', she said.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety characteristic is the fact that it is able to be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort them, or change his or their nappy. This is why it's perfect for mothers who still recovering from a C section. You should look for a design which allows you to lower the sides of the bed by pressing a button. This allows you to raise your child without getting out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and more mobile. You should also avoid adding anything to the cot that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, such as pillows and duvets, which can cause babies to overheat.

The CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to problems with the product that included gaps between the bedside crib or cot sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR in its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these beds meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. However the CPSC determined that these requirements are not efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents in which infants were trapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

Many 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. Several commenters suggested the CPSC include a different clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use which would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. This attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is currently reviewing the comments and other suggestions received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
