Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

bedside Rocking crib (www.metooo.es) cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to allow parents to rest with their baby at night without risk of SIDS. However they are not suggested for use until 6 months when your baby will be required to move into a cot or moses basket.

Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, loved the feature that this model comes with a bassinet that can be used all around the home. It also has an option to rock manually. It was also easy to put together and came with its own travel cot bedside crib bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots and cot beds vary in terms of size and size, with cots being a bit smaller than beds for cots. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only used for children up to the age of three. If you're opting for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which convert into a cot/toddler mattress. If you'd like your child (or children) to be able to sleep in the larger cot, it's a great option to select the larger one.

Jasmine, an MFM mum who tested the product at home, liked the fact that it was a little bigger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the room of her baby. It's easy to get her baby in and out for feeding or soothing, and Bedside Rocking Crib the quality is top-notch in comparison to other cots she's seen that are flimsy.

Emily, another home tester, is awed by the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora that is a portable, lift-off bassinet. It also rocks. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable breathable liner. And it was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike other international or European brands. This means you don't have to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it requires an exclusive bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When choosing a crib for your bed make sure it can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It must also be lowered away from the way, so you can raise your baby towards you to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is especially helpful when you're recovering from an operation such as a C-section. For example the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to the height 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 cot's base to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their children out of the standard Moses baskets at the lowest height, others prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option, with one of our mum test subjects saying that it has an easy-to-use collapsible part that you can use at the push of one button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device is only suitable when your baby is able to hold his head without assistance, which is usually at around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. It's also important to know that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib and vice versa, you must remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this to ensure they don't climb out or fall out of the bed.

Design

There are many different styles of small bedside cot cribs, from basic to lavish. Some of the most expensive options come with features like a built-in light, a soothing center which plays music and sounds and has two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep, or an adjustable footrest that allows you to reach your child to feed them. Some models can be converted into the toddler bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed.

For example the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your baby bedside sleeper and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get up. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or who have to remain in bed for long periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested this product at home, stated that it was simple to use and made it easier to reach her baby, especially after having a C-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another option. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib and has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's a bit larger than some of the other cribs that we've looked at, but it folds flat into its bag for travel, so it's relatively compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she praised the bedside crib's functionality. She claimed that it was designed for parents and babies. It is a fantastic design that is very maneuverable and is extremely durable. Its swivelling base is fantastic because it lets you move the bassinet from side-to-side and one of its sides can be lowered down to make access easier especially for mothers who are recovering from C-sections,' she added.

Safety

The most important safety aspect of a large bedside cot is that it is able to be adjusted or moved to allow parents to reach their baby when they require to feed, comfort them or change their nappy. This makes it ideal for mothers who are still be recovering from a C-section. You should choose a design which lets you lower the side of the bed with a simple button press. This allows you to raise your child without getting out of bed. This is especially important as your baby grows older and more mobile. Avoid adding anything that could increase the chance of injury or suffocation such as pillowcases and duvets which could cause your baby to overheat.

The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside baby bed sleepers. For example they would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. However the CPSC concluded that such requirements are not practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes such as play yards and bassinets. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add an alternative option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently fixed or removed when the item is not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is currently reviewing these comments and others received in response to the NPR regarding bedside cot 6 months plus sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule, which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
