Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

bedside cots (check this link right here now) (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to snuggle with their infant at night without risk of SIDS. However, they are only suitable for use up to 6 months, when your baby will be required to move into a cot or a moses basket.

MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model comes with an adjustable bassinet that you can use throughout the house, as well as the ability to rock manually. It was easy to set up, and even came with a travel bag.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They also can be converted into toddler beds, while cot beds are generally only used until three years old. old. If you're looking for a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which convert into a cot bed/toddler mattress. Selecting the larger one is a good choice when you want your child to sleep in it until they are +/- three.

Jasmine, an MFM mum who tested the product at home, liked that it was slightly larger than a Moses' basket but still not too large for the room of her baby. It's easy to carry her child in and out for feeding or soothing, and the quality is top-notch, compared with many she's seen that are flimsy.

Another home-based test subject, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi Lora can be used in a variety of ways - it's a lift-off bassinet that you can move around the house, and it rocks too. It also comes with a reflux incline option and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. Unlike some International or European cot brands Lora is a cot that Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't have to buy a new mattress as your baby grows. However, it will require a special bespoke bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It also needs to be able of being dropped down so that you can pull your baby closer to you for night feeds or to soothe. This feature is particularly helpful when you are recovering from a C section. The Next2me cot and Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to an maximum height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm, and the Knuma Hutch to 70cm.

Another thing to consider is how low you want the base of your cot to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets when they are at the lowest height, others prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our mom testers said that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It is an easily collapsible side that you can push at the push of one button.

Be aware that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used until your baby is able to hold their head up unaided, usually at approximately 6 months. This is due to the danger of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to note that if you choose a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib and vice versa, you must start removing the sides when your child is able to do this to ensure they don't climb out or fall out of the bed.

Design

There are many different styles of bedside co sleeper cribs, from basic to extravagant. The more luxurious options may include features like an integrated night light or a soothing center that plays music and sounds and bedside cots offers two levels of vibrations to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or a swivelling base that allows you to get your baby's food in the right place. You can also find models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to move to a bigger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that lets you pick up your baby and transfer them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is perfect for new mums recovering from Caesareans or who have to remain in bed for prolonged periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made her baby easier - especially after her c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also is equipped with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking feature. It's bigger than other bedside travel crib cribs that we've tested, however it folds into its bag for travel, making it compact when not in use.

MFM mum home test Leya loved the practicality of this crib for bed, describing how it was designed with the needs of parents and children in mind. It has a great design that is very maneuverable and is extremely sturdy. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing as it means you can move the bassinet from side-to-side, and one of its sides can be lowered down to ease access - particularly for new mums who are recovering from their C-sections', she said.

Safety

The most important security characteristic of a bedside cot is that it is able to be raised or lowered to enable parents to reach their baby when they need to feed, comfort them or change their nappy. This makes it ideal for mothers who are still be recovering from a C-section. Look for a design that allows you to lower one side at the push of a button so you can easily lift your baby up without needing to get out of bed. This is particularly important as your baby gets older and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation, like duvets and pillows that can cause your baby to overheat.

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) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For example they would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be feasible or effective to reduce the number of incidents where infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and bedside cots the adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR included multi-use bedside beds which can be converted to other modes, such as bassinets or play yards. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add a second clause to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside crib with changing table sleepers that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that is removable. The attachment can be permanently fixed or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is examining 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 come out in November 2021.
