Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to let parents sleep close to their baby at night without risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months old, at which point your baby is old enough to be moved to the bed.

Mehack is an MFM home tester, loved the fact that this model has a bassinet that can be used all around the home. It also has the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to put together and came with its own bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. They also can be converted into toddler beds, while the cot beds are typically used up to three years old. If you're looking for a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes available - standard and large - both of which will convert into a cot/toddler bed. Selecting the larger one is a good choice for children who want to sleep in it until they are approximately three.

MFM mother home tester Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. She claims that it is easy to get the baby in and out of the cot for evening feedings or to soothe and that the quality is better than other cots she has seen that are less sturdy.

Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is it's a drop-off bassinet that you can move around the home, and it's a blast too. It also comes with a reflux incline and a machine washable breathable liner. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means that you don't need to buy a brand new mattress when your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here.

Height

When choosing a bedside baby bed cot be sure to choose one that can be raised to a height that is comfortable for you when feeding the baby. It should also be able to be lower away from the way, so you can lift up your child towards you to feed them at night or comfort him. This feature is particularly helpful when you are recovering from a C-section. For instance, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to an elevation of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm.

Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot. While some mums find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets at the smallest level, some mothers prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option and one of our mum testers stating that it is easy to use with a collapsible side that you can use at the push of a button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should not be used until your baby can hold their head up without assistance generally around 6 months. This is because of the risk of inhaling suffocation. It is also important to remember that if you select a bedside cot used or bassinet which can convert into a cot, you will need to remove the sides as soon as your child is able to do this, so that they don't climb out or fall out of bed.

Design

There are many different styles of cribs that are bedside, ranging from basic to extravagant. Some of the most expensive options come with features like a built-in light or a center of calm which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help soothe 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 that can be transformed into an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to move to a bigger bed.

For example, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&baby bedside sleeper Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you pick up your newborn bedside cot and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get up. This makes it ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require the bed for extended durations of time. Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, stated that it was simple to use and made it easier to reach her baby - especially after having a c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It comes with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking bedside crib function. It's bigger than the other cribs we tested, but it folds down into its travel bag to make it a small size when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she acknowledged the crib's usefulness. She said it was designed for both parents and children. It is lightweight and easy to move. She 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 lowered to facilitate access for mothers who are recovering from c-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot (view website)'s main safety characteristic is the fact that it is able to be raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort him or their nappy. This makes it ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C section. It is recommended to choose a design which lets you 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 crucial, particularly when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. It is also important to avoid adding anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, including pillows and duvets, which can cause babies to overheat.

The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related 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 In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding additional requirements for bedside sleepers, like 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. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing amount of instances where infants are trapped between the bedside rail and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers that can be transformed into other modes, such as play yards or bassinets. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add an alternative clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. Attachments can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is reviewing the comments and other suggestions received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be released in the month of November 2021.
