Choosing a Large Bedside cot for bedside

bedside cot bed cots, also referred to as bassinets and co-sleepers, are designed to allow parents to sleep close to their children at night, without the risk of SIDS. However they are not suitable for use up to 6 months when your baby will need to be moved into a cot or a moses basket.

Mehack, a MFM home tester, was awed by the feature that this model comes with an adjustable bassinet that can be used all around the home. It also features the ability to rock manually. It was easy to set up and it came with a travel bag.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However cots are generally used for children up to the age of three. If you're looking for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from - standard and large - both of which convert into a toddler bed or cot bed. If you want your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a larger cot, it's a great option to select the larger one.

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

Another home test subject, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product - it's a lift-off bassinet that can be moved around the house, and it rocks too. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that is breathable. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. Contrary to some International or European cot brands Lora is a cot that 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 will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here is the ideal mattress for your cot.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib pick one that can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It also needs to be able to be dropped down so that you can lift your baby closer to you during night feedings or soothing. This feature is particularly helpful in the event of 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 to 70cm.

Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their children from standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest point and others prefer a higher level to provide them with more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice with one of our mum testers stating that it is easy to use with a collapsible side that you can push down with the click of a button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeper should only be used until your baby can hold their head up unaided, usually at approximately 6 months. This is because of the possibility of being suffocated. It's also important to note that if you opt for a bedside or bassinet which can be converted into a crib it is necessary to remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this, so that they don't climb out or fall out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of styles of bedside crib, ranging from simple to luxurious. Some of the more extravagant options include features such as a built-in light or a center of calm that plays music and sound and comes with two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep. Another option is a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child in order to feed them. Certain models can be converted into the toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It features a swivelling bottom that allows you to take your baby to the crib and move them to the opposite side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This makes it ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who need to stay in bed for longer periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made her baby easier particularly after her c-section.

Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also comes with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking feature. It's a bit larger than some of the other bedside cribs we tried, but it folds flat into its travel bag so it's quite compact when not in use.

MFM mom home tester Leya loved the practicality of this bedside crib, explaining how it was designed with parents and babies in mind. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. Its swivelling base is brilliant because it allows you to move the bassinet from side to side and one of its sides can be lowered down to ease access especially for mothers who are recovering from their C-sections,' she added.

Safety

The main safety aspect of a large bedside cot is that it can be easily raised or lowered to enable parents to reach their child when they need to feed them, comfort them, or change their nappies. This means that it's ideal for mothers who still be recovering from a C-section. Find a model that lets you lower one side at the push of a button, so you can easily lift your baby bedside co sleeper without getting out of the bed. This is important, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. Avoid adding anything that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation, like duvets and pillows, which can cause your baby to become overheated.

The CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to problems with the product, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents); 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 additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these products meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. However the CPSC found that these requirements would not be practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances in which infants were trapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes such as play yards and bassinets. Several commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multi-use bedside sleepers that would enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets through the use of a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet.

The CPSC is reviewing these comments as well as other submissions 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 be published in November 2021.
