Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to allow parents to sleep close to their baby at night without fear of SIDS. However they are only recommended for use up to 6 months, when your baby is required to move into a cot, or a moses basket.

Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, was impressed by the fact that this model features an adjustable bassinet that can be used throughout the home. It also features a manual rocking feature. It was also easy to put together and came in its own bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They can also be converted into toddler beds, whereas the cot beds are typically used until three years old. old. There are two sizes of wooden cots - big and standard, which can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. If you'd like your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in a larger cot, it's an excellent idea to choose the larger one.

Jasmine, an MFM mother who tested the product at home, was pleased that it was a bit bigger than a 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 night feeds or for soothing and that it's quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are less sturdy.

Emily is another home tester, is awed by the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora - it is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also is a rock. 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 bedside co sleeper Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. Unlike some International or European cot brands, the Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't need to buy another mattress as your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib pick one that can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It must also be able of being dropped down to allow you to lift your baby up towards you for feedings at night or to soothe. This feature is especially useful if you are recovering from a C Section. For instance the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle 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 children 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 comes with a collapsible side you can push at the press of a button.

Remember that a bedside or bassinet should only be used until your baby can hold their head up unaided generally approximately 6 months. This is due to the risk of being suffocated. You should also be aware that if your child is old enough to convert the bedside sleeper into a cot, you will have to remove the sides when they are ready to do this. This will prevent them from climbing out or falling out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs for bedside use that range from basic to lavish. Some of the most extravagant options include features like a built-in light and a soothing center which plays music and sounds and has two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep. Another option is the swivelling footrest, which makes it easier for you to reach your child when you need to feed them. There are also models that can be converted to the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to transition to a larger bed.

For instance the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you take your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get out of bed. This makes it ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean or require a bed for longer periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying it was easy to use and made her baby much easier - especially after her c-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another option. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a liner, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's larger than other cribs we've tested, but it folds into its bag for travel, making 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 to be used by parents and children. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. Its swivelling base is fantastic as it means you can move the bassinet from 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

A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is that it can easily be raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or her nappy. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from the c-section. Choose a model that allows you to lower one side with the push of a button. This way, you can effortlessly lift your baby without having to get out of bed. This is crucial, particularly as your child grows and becomes more mobile. Avoid adding anything that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation, like duvets and pillows, which can cause your baby to become overheated.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues, such as gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at least the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. However the CPSC concluded that such requirements are not feasible or effective to reduce the number of incidents in which infants were trapped between the bedside crib and cot sleeper and the adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR included multi-use bedside crib with wheels beds that can be transformed into other modes, such as play yards or bassinets. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multiuse bedside cot for twins sleepers to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets by using a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the item is not being used as the bassinet.

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