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 fear of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months old, at which point your baby will be ready to move to an actual cot.

Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, was impressed by the feature that this model comes with an integrated bassinet that can be used around the home. It also comes with the ability to rock manually. It was also easy to put together and came in its own travel bag for convenient storage.

Size

Cots and cot beds differ in size, with cots being smaller than beds for cots. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However cots are generally intended for children who are the age of three. If you're considering a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed. Choosing the larger of the two is a good choice when you want your child to sleep in it until they reach at least three years old.

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

Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is - it's a lift-off bassinet that you can move around the house, and it rocks too. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable breathable liner. 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 some international or European brands. This means you don't have to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it does require a special bespoke bedding set (60x120cm). Here's the perfect mattress for your cot.

Height

When choosing a crib for your bed, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It should also be able to be dropped down out of the way so that you can lift your baby towards you for night feeds or for soothing. This is particularly useful when you are 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 up to 70cm.

You should also consider how low you would like the bottom of your crib to be. While some moms find it easier to lift their babies out of traditional Moses baskets at the lowest level, some mothers prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our mom testers said that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It has an easily collapsible side that you can push at the push of a button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device should only be used when your baby bedside crib can hold his head up with no assistance, which is usually at around 6 months. This is due to the risk of being suffocated. It's also important to note that if you opt for a bedside sleeper or bassinet that you can be converted into a crib, you will need to begin removing the sides once your child is ready for this, so that they don't climb out or fall out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs for beds, ranging from simple to lavish. Some of the most luxurious options include features like an inbuilt light or a center of calm which plays music and sounds and has two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep. Another option is the swivelling footrest, which allows you to reach your child in order to feed them. You may also find some models which can be made into 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 that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to take your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get out of bed. This makes it perfect for new mums who are recovering from Caesarean or require the bed for extended periods of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, saying that it was simple to use and made her baby much easier particularly after her c-section.

Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also is equipped with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking function. It's a bit bigger than some of the other cribs that we've tried, but it folds flat in its travel bag so it's relatively compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester, also praised the bedside crib's functionality. She said it was designed for both parents and children. It is a fantastic design that is very easy to manoeuvre and it is super-sturdy. Its swivelling base is fantastic because it lets you move the bassinet side to side, and one of its sides can be lowered down to facilitate access especially for mothers who are recovering from c-sections,' she said.

Safety

The main safety characteristic of a bedside cot is that it can be easily adjusted or moved to allow parents to reach their baby when they need to feed them, soothe them, or change their nappy. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. Look for a design that lets you lower one side at the push of a button so you can easily lift your baby without having to get out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby grows older and more mobile. Do not add anything that may increase the chance of suffocation or injury, such as pillowcases and duvets which could cause your baby to overheat.

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

In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of additional requirements for bedside travel cot sleepers, such as the requirement that these products meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are trapped between the bedside cot sale rocking crib [pop over here] rail and an adult bed.

The majority of the incidents covered in the NPR included multi-use bedside beds which can be converted to other modes, such as play yards or bassinets. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add an alternative provision to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers which would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently fixed or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule that is expected to be released in November 2021.
