Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

bedside crib to cot cots, also known as co-sleepers and bassinets, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their infants at night, without the risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, when your baby is ready to move to a cot.

Mehack, a MFM home tester, was awed by the fact that this model has an integrated bassinet that can be used all around the house. It also comes with the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to assemble and came in its own travel bag for convenient storage.

Size

Cots and cots differ in terms of size in size, with cots smaller than cot beds. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However they are typically used by children up to the age of three. If you're considering a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes available both large and standard both of which can be converted into a cot/toddler bed. Selecting the larger of the two is a good choice when you want your child to sleep in it until the age of approximately three.

MFM mom home test Jasmine loved that the bedside co sleeper cot (wifidb.science) cot was slightly bigger than the Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. She says that it is easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot for evening feedings or to soothe, and that its quality is better than other cots she has seen that are flimsy.

Another home tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product - it's a lift-off bassinet that you can move around the home, and it's rocking too. It also has an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for Best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike many international or European brands. This means that you do not need to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed be sure to choose one that can be raised to a height that is comfortable for you to feed your babies. It should also be able to be dropped down to allow you to lift your baby closer to you for night feeds or soothing. This feature is particularly helpful if 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.

Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their children from standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest level and others prefer a higher elevation to give them greater stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option and one of our mom testers saying that it is easy to use with a collapsible side that you can press down at the touch of the button.

Be aware that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used until your baby is able to hold their head without assistance typically approximately 6 months. This is due to the risk of inhaling suffocation. It is also important to be aware that when your child is old enough to be able to convert a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot you will need to take the sides off as soon as they are ready to do this. This will prevent them from falling out or climbing out of the bed.

Design

There are many different styles of bedside cribs, from basic to extravagant. The more luxurious options may include features like an integrated night light, a soothing centre that plays music and sounds and offers two levels of vibration to help soothe baby back to sleep, or a swivelling base that makes it easier to reach your child for feedings. You may also find some models which can be made into the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed.

For instance the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your newborn and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get up. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from Caesareans, or those who need to remain in bed for extended periods. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying that it was easy to use and made reaching her baby easier especially after a c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking function. It's a bit bigger than the other cribs for bed we've tested but it folds flat in its travel bag so it's relatively compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she acknowledged the crib's usefulness. She claimed that it was designed for both parents and babies. It has a great design that is very maneuverable and is extremely durable. She also said that the bassinet's pivoting base was a great idea because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to make access easier for mothers who are recovering from C-sections.

Safety

The most important security feature of a large bedside cot is that it can be easily moved up or down to allow parents to reach their child when they need to feed them, soothe them or change their nappy. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from the c-section. Find a model that allows you to lower one side with the push of a button, so you can easily lift your baby without getting out of the bed. This is particularly crucial as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. It is also important to avoid adding anything to the crib that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, like duvets and pillows, which can cause babies to overheat.

The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues like 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 looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance, these products would have to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at least the maximum height requirements for the lowered 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 the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside co sleeper cot sleepers that can be converted to different modes like play yards and bassinets. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add an alternative provision to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. Attachments can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product's not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is reviewing these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when it decides on the final rule which is expected to be released in November of 2021.
