Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots, also referred as bassinets and co-sleepers, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their babies at night without the risk of SIDS. However they are not suggested for use until 6 months of age when your baby will need to be moved into a cot, or a moses basket.

MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model comes with a bassinet that can be lifted off to use throughout the house, as well as a manual rocking function. It was also simple to assemble and came in its own travel bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots and cot beds differ in terms of size, with cots being smaller than cot beds. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only intended for children who are the age of three. If you're looking for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes available both large and standard both of which can be converted into a cot bed/toddler beds. If you want your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a larger cot, it's a great option to select the larger one.

MFM mum home test Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was a little bigger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. She says it's easy to get her baby in and out for feeding or calming and that the quality is great when compared to other cots she's seen that feel flimsy.

Emily who is a home tester, is awed by the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora which is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with an incline of reflux as well as a machine washable breathable liner. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby 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 an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It does require a special bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here.

Height

When selecting a bedside Crib (https://blom-coyle-3.hubstack.net/) make sure it can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It must also be able of being dropped down out of the way so that you can pull your baby closer to you during night feedings or soothing. This is particularly useful when you are recovering from a C section. For example, 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 how low you want the base of your cot to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, others prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our mom testers stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It is a collapsible side you can push at the touch one button.

Be aware that a bedside or bassinet device should only be used when your baby can hold his head without assistance, which is typically around 6 months. This is due to the risk of suffocation. It's also important to know that if you select a bedside sleeper or bassinet that you can convert into a cot, bedside crib you will need to begin removing the sides once your child is able to do this to ensure that they don't climb out or get out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of styles of bedside crib with wheels crib that range from basic to luxurious. Some of the more extravagant options include features like a built-in light or a center of calm which plays music and sounds and has two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep or an adjustable footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child in order to feed them. There are also models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to transition to a larger 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 having to get out of the bed. This is great for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or those who have to stay in bed for prolonged periods of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made her baby much easier particularly after her c-section.

Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's slightly larger than some of the other bedside cribs we tested but it folds flat into its travel bag, so it is relatively compact when not in use.

MFM mom home test Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside 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 brilliant because it lets you move the bassinet from side to side and one of its sides can be opened down to ease access especially for mothers who are recovering from c-sections,' she said.

Safety

The bedside cot's primary security characteristic is the fact that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby bedside co sleeper to feed or comfort them, or change his or her nappies. This makes it ideal for mothers who are recovering from an c-section. Look for a design that lets you lower one side at the press of a button so you can easily lift your baby without having to get out of bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and becomes more mobile. It is also important to avoid adding anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, such as pillows and duvets, which could cause babies to become overheated.

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

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside baby sleeper sleepers. For bedside crib instance the products would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. However, the CPSC found that these requirements would not be practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

The majority of the incidents covered in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to different types of furniture, like play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multi-use bedside beds to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet.

The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule, which is expected to be published in November 2021.
