Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots, also known as co-sleepers and bassinets, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their children at night without the danger of SIDS. However they are not suitable for use up to 6 months of age when your baby will be required to be moved into a cot, or a moses basket. MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model features a bassinet that can be lifted off to use throughout the house, as well as a manual rocking function. It was simple to put together, and it came with a travel bag. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. They can also be converted into toddler beds, while they are typically used up to three years old. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from – standard and large – both of which will convert into a toddler bed or cot beds. If you'd like your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a larger cot, it's a good option to select the larger size. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was slightly bigger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the space of her baby's. Jasmine says it's easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot during night feedings or soothing and that the quality is better than other cots she has seen that are less sturdy. Another home test subject, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is – it's a lift-off bassinet that you can move around the home, and it's a blast 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. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means that you don't have to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here. Height When you are choosing a crib that is bedside make sure it can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It also needs to be able to be lowered to the ground so that you can pull your baby up towards you during night feedings or to soothe. This feature is particularly useful when you're recovering from C-section. For instance, 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 the height you would like to set for the base of your cot. Some moms find it is easier to lift their children from their standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest level, while others prefer a higher elevation to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option and one of our mum test subjects saying that it comes with a simple collapsible side that you can press down at the touch of one button. Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeper is only suitable until your baby can hold their head up unaided typically about 6 months. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. It is also important to remember that if you choose a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a cot and vice versa, you must begin removing the sides once your child is ready for this to ensure that they don't get out of bed or get out of bed. Design There are a variety of bedside crib with a range of styles from simple to lavish. baby bedside crib could include features like a built-in night light or a soothing center which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels of vibrating to help soothe baby back to sleep, or an adjustable base that allows you to easily 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), perfect when your child is ready to transition to a larger bed. For example, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you pick up your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get up. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who need to stay in the bed for extended durations of time. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested this product at home, said it was easy to operate and made it easier to reach her baby, especially after the c-section. Another alternative 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 includes a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's bigger than the other cribs we tested, but it folds up into its travel bag, making it a small size when not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she appreciated the bedside crib's function. She said it was designed to be used by parents and babies. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. She also said that the bassinet's swivelling base was fantastic because it let you move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to make access easier, especially for new mums recovering from C-sections. Safety The bedside cot's primary safety characteristic is that it is able to be raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort him or their nappies. This means that it's ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C-section. You should look for an option that allows you to lower the sides of the bed with a simple button press. This will allow you to easily lift your child up without getting out of bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and more mobile. You should also be careful not to add 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 that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) Fabric-side enclosed openings (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. However, the CPSC concluded that such requirements are not efficient or feasible to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed. A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted into other types of equipment, like bassinets or play yards. Many commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. Attachments can be permanently attached or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will be examining these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
