Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to snuggle with their infant at night without risk of SIDS. However they are not recommended for use up to 6 months when your baby is required to be moved into a cot or moses basket.

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

Size

Cots and cot beds vary in size in size, with cots smaller than cot beds. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only used by children up to the age of three. There are two sizes of wooden cots - large and standard that can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. If you wish for your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in a larger cot, it's a great idea to pick the larger one.

MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly larger than the Moses basket, but not too big for her baby's room. She says that it is easy to get the baby into and out of the cot during night feeds or for soothing, and that its quality is superior to others she has seen that are flimsy.

Emily, another home tester, loves the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora - it is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with a reflux incline option and a machine-washable breathable liner. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. The Lora is a perfect fit for a South African cot mattress unlike other international or European brands. This means that you don't need to buy a new mattress every time your baby grows. However, it will require an exclusive bedding set (60x120cm). Here's the perfect mattress for your cot.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib, choose one that can be adjusted to the ideal height for you. It should also be able to be lowered down so that you can lift your baby towards you for feedings at night or soothing. This feature is particularly helpful if you are recovering from a C-section. The Next2me Cot and Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to the maximum height of 58cm, while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm, and the Knuma Hutch up to 70cm.

You should also consider how low you would like the bottom of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to get their babies out of standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, others prefer a higher base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice with one of our mom testers stating that it comes with a simple collapsible part that you can press down at the touch of a button.

Be aware that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device is only suitable until your baby is able to hold their head up without assistance generally around 6 months. This is due to the danger of inhaling suffocation. It is also important to remember that if you choose a bedside or bassinet which can be converted into a cot, you will need to begin removing the sides once your child is able to do this to ensure they don't get out of bed or fall out of the bed.

Design

There are many styles of bedside cribs, from basic to lavish. Some of the most luxurious options include features such as an integrated light and a soothing center which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep. Another option is a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them. Some models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed.

For instance, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards best bedside cot Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that lets you take your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get out of bed. This is perfect for new mums recovering from Caesarean sections or those who have to stay in bed for extended periods. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying that it was simple to use and made reaching her baby much more manageable especially after a c-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a interior, reflux incline, and rocking bedside crib feature. It's a bit larger than some of the other cribs for bed we've tried, but it folds flat in its bag for travel, so it's relatively compact when not in use.

MFM mom home test Leya loved the practicality of this bedside cot wooden crib, describing how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. It is easy to move and super-sturdy. She said that the swivelling bassinet base was fantastic since it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to facilitate access for moms who are recovering from c-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it can easily be moved up or down so that parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or her nappy. This makes it ideal for new mothers who may still recovering from a C-section. Find a model that allows you to lower one side at the push of a button. This way, you can effortlessly lift your baby without having to get out of bed. This is essential, 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 overheat.

The NPR of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems that included 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 looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example the products would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However, the CPSC concluded that such requirements are not feasible or effective to reduce the number of incidents where infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

Many of the incidents reported in the NPR included multi-use bedside crib or cot beds which can be converted to other modes, such as bassinets or play yards. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use bedside sleepers that would enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable and can be connected permanently or removed when the product is not being used as an actual bassinet.

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