Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to sleep close to their baby at night without the risk of SIDS. They are recommended for up to 6 months, when your baby will be ready to be moved to a crib.

MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model features an adjustable bassinet that you can use around the house and the ability to rock manually. It was simple to put together, and it came with a travel bag.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However they are typically used by children up to the age of three. If you're looking for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes to choose from that are large and standard both of which can be converted into a cot/toddler bed. If you want your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in the larger cot, it's an excellent idea to choose the larger size.

MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. It's easy to lift her baby into and out of the cot for nighttime feeding or soothing, and the quality is top-notch, compared with many she's seen that are flimsy.

Emily is another home tester, loves the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora that is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also is a rock. It also has a reflux incline and a machine washable breathable liner. It was also shortlisted 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 you don't need to buy an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When you are choosing a crib that is bedside pick one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be lower out of the way, so that you can pull your child towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This feature is especially helpful when you're recovering from a C-section. For example, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to a height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma huddle up to 70cm.

Another thing to consider is how low you want the base of your cot to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their babies from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest point, while some prefer a higher height to provide them with more stability. One of our mum testers mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It is an easy-to-fold side that you can press at the touch one button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device is only suitable in the event that your baby can hold his head up with no assistance, which is typically around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. You should also be aware that if your child is old enough to turn an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot you will have to remove the sides 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 a variety of cribs for bedside cot reviews use with a range of styles from simple to extravagant. The more luxurious options may include features such as an integrated night light, a soothing centre which plays music and sounds and offers two levels of vibrating to help soothe baby back to sleep, or an adjustable base that makes it easier to reach your child for feedings. There are also models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, for example has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that lets you 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 is ideal for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require a the bed for extended periods of time. Jasmine, a MFM mom who tried this product at home, said it was easy to operate and made it easier to reach her baby, especially after a C-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's bigger than other cribs we tested, but it folds down into its travel bag, making it a small size when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester, also acknowledged the crib's usefulness. She said it was designed for both parents and babies. It is a fantastic design that is extremely simple to operate and is super-sturdy. She also said that the bassinet's swivelling base was fantastic since it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to make access easier for moms who are recovering from C-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is that it is able to be raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or their nappies. This makes it ideal for new mothers recovering from an c-section. Choose a model that allows you to lower one side with the press of a button so you can easily lift your baby up without having to get out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and becomes more mobile. It is also important to not add anything to the cot that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, including pillows and duvets, which could cause babies to become overheated.

The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues like gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the cheap bedside cot sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents where infants were entrapped between a bedside cot wooden sleeper and an adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that can be converted to different modes like play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. The attachment can be permanently attached or disconnected when the product's not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to be released in November 2021.
