Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots, also referred to as co-sleepers and bassinets, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their children at night without the risk of SIDS. They are only recommended for up to 6 months, after which your baby will be ready to be moved to a cot.

Mehack, a MFM home tester, was impressed by the feature that this model comes with an adjustable bassinet that can be used all around the house. It also features the ability to rock manually. It was also easy to assemble and came in its own bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only intended for children who are the age of three. If you're looking for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes to choose from - standard and large - both of which will convert into a cot bed/toddler mattress. Selecting the larger one is a good idea if you want your child to sleep in it until they are +/- three.

Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, liked the fact that it was a little bigger than a Moses' basket but still not too large for the baby's room. She says it's easy to lift her baby into and out of the cot for nighttime feeding or soothing and that the quality is excellent, compared with many she's seen that feel flimsy.

Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi Lora can be used in a variety of ways - it's a lift-off bassinet that can be moved around the home, and it's rocking too. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable breathable liner. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for Best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means you don't have to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it does require a special bespoke bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When choosing a crib for your bed, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be able of being dropped down to allow you to lift your baby bedside crib closer to 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 a height of 58cm while 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. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their babies from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest level, while others prefer a higher level to provide them with more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option, with one of our mom test subjects saying that it is easy to use with a collapsible side that is easy to push down with the click of the button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device should only be used when your baby is able to hold his head up without assistance, which is usually at around 6 months. This is due to the danger of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to note that if you select a bedside sleeper or bassinet that you can be converted into a crib it is necessary to start removing the sides when your child is ready for this to ensure that they don't climb out or fall out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs for bedside crib travel use, ranging from simple to luxurious. Some of the more extravagant options include features like an integrated light, a soothing center that plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep or a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them. You may also find some models which can be made into the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to transition to a bigger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It features a swivelling bottom that allows you to pick up your baby and transfer them to the other side of the crib without getting out of the bed. This is perfect for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or those who have to remain in bed for extended periods. Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, stated that it was easy to use and made it easier to reach her baby - especially after a c-section.

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

MFM mom home test Leya loved the practicality of this bedside crib describing how it was designed with parents and babies in mind. It is lightweight and easy to move. She also said that the swivelling bassinet 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

A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is the fact that it can be easily adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or her nappy. This is why it's perfect for mothers who are still recovering from a C section. Look for a design that lets you lower one side with the press of a button, so you can easily lift your baby without needing to get out of the bed. This is important, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. You'll also want to be careful not to add anything to the cot that increases the chance of suffocation or injury, such as pillows and duvets, which could cause babies to become overheated.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product that include gaps between the bedside co sleeper sleeper (adult bed) and the twin bedside cot sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at least the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are trapped by the bedside rail and an adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that can be converted to other modes such as bassinets and play yards. Several commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multi-use bedside beds to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets by using an attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the item is not being used as an actual bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
