Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to let parents rest with their baby at night without fear of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, after which your baby is old enough to be moved to the bed.

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

Size

Cots and cots differ in terms of size in size, with cots smaller than beds for cots. Cots can also convert into toddler beds. However they are typically used by children up to the age of three. 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 bigger cot, it's a great idea to pick the larger one.

Jasmine, a MFM mother who tested the product at home, was pleased that it was slightly larger 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 for night feeds or for soothing, and that its quality is superior to others she has seen that are cheap and flimsy.

Another home tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi Lora can be used in a variety of ways - it's a lift-off bassinet that can be moved around the home, large bedside cot and it's rocking too. It also comes with an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable breathable liner. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. Contrary to some International or European cot brands, the Lora can fit South African cot mattresses so you don't have to buy a new mattress as your baby grows. It does require a special bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When choosing a crib for your bed, choose one that can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It also needs to be able to be dropped down out of the way so that you can pull your baby up towards you for night feeds or for soothing. This feature is especially helpful if you're 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 can be adjusted to 70cm.

It is also important to consider the height you would like the base of your crib to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their babies out of the standard Moses baskets when they are at the lowest height, others prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our mum testers stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It has an easy-to-fold side that you can press at the press of one button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device is only suitable when your baby can hold his head without assistance, which is usually around 6 months. This is due to the danger of suffocation. It is also important to be aware that if your child is old enough to convert the bedside sleeper into a cot, you will have to take the sides off as soon as they are able to do this. This will stop them from falling out or climbing out of the bed.

Design

There are many styles of bedside cribs, from basic to extravagant. The more luxurious options may include features like a built-in night light, a soothing centre that plays music and sounds and has two levels of vibrations to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or a swivelling base that makes it easier to reach your baby for feedings. Certain models can be converted into an infant bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that allows you to take your baby to the crib and move them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesareans or who require the bed for extended durations of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made her baby much more manageable especially after a 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 lining, reflux incline, large bedside cot and rocking feature. It's a bit bigger than other bedside cribs we looked at, but it folds flat in its bag for travel cot bedside, so it is relatively compact when not in use.

MFM mum home tester Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib or cot crib, explaining how it was designed with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is easy to move and 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 ease access - particularly for new mums who are recovering from their C-sections', she said.

Safety

A large bedside cot (just click the next web site)'s main security feature is that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort them, or change his or his or her nappy. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from a C-section. It is recommended to choose an option that lets you lower the side of the bed with a simple button press. This allows you to lift your child up without having to get out of the bed. This is important, especially as your child grows and becomes more mobile. You should also avoid adding anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, including pillows and duvets, which could cause babies to become overheated.

The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to problems with the product like gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing parts (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of imposing additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these products satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at least meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. However the CPSC determined that these requirements would not be feasible or effective to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included small bedside cot sleepers with multiple uses which can be converted to different modes like bassinets and play yards. Several commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets using a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet.

The CPSC is reviewing the comments and other suggestions 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 the month of November 2021.
