A bedside crib is a bassinet style crib that is attached to the mattress's side. This allows you to reach your baby at night to feed them without fuss. They are suitable for infants from birth to six months old.
The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that infants are kept in separate cots from their parents bed. This will lower the chance of SIDS. The
best bedside cots cribs for bedside use allow for this.
1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper
When co-sleeping was a brand-new concept, a father-and-son team formed Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that would let parents safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the first bedside cot that allowed infants to sleep close without getting suffocated or falling onto the mattress or parent's side of the bed. The Clear-Vue remains in wide use and has an average of 25 years and no reported deaths or injuries.
It comes with leg extensions built-in to adjust for different mattress heights and includes an upholstered cover and sheet. The bassinet is suitable for babies up to five months old or until they are climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper is an infant bassinet that can be used as a stand-alone unit or affixed to the mattress of the parent using the strap and plate that come with it. It's easy to switch between the two modes with a simple pulling of a string however, you must be aware that it does not meet the federal requirements for an attached bed so your child should never be left alone in this type of arrangement.
McKenna was also impressed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She noted that it is simple to lift your child in and out of the bassinet from the cozy bed to feed them during the night or for other needs. He also praised its security and said that the Co-Sleeper is compliant with all crib and bassinet standards and has been available for decades with "probably 1.5 million units sold" and no reports of infants dying or being injured.
The Clear-Vue bedside cot was the most accessible of the cots we evaluated. The swiveling sleep area and the adjustable height of the Clear-Vue made it easy for you to reach your child and comfort them. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls, which require you to stand or crouch down to retrieve your baby.
The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top picks that doesn't attach to a parent's bed however, it was close to being better than some we tested that were intended to be attached to a parental bed. It has a sturdy, solid feel, and lots of storage space.
2. HALO Bassinest
The HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is a unique bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees to bring baby close and makes it easier for parents to get out and in to bed. It also has a lower wall that allows moms to tend to their babies without getting out of bed--a huge benefit for nursing mothers who require help with their infants in cluster feeding during the early months and weeks after the birth.
The Bassinest has mesh side walls which allow for plenty of airflow. Additionally, the swing feature is ideal for parents who need to keep an eye on their little one throughout the night. The baby's presence and easily visible can make all the difference in the tired motherhood jitters particularly during late-night nursing sessions.
The Bassinest scored well in the Convenience Assessment, which evaluates features that make it easy to use and clean. This is a necessity for anyone who has to deal with spit ups and diaper blowouts during the beginning of life. The Bassinest is light and can be easily wiped down with water and the mattress pad can be washed too. It comes with a side pouch for items like diapers and nipple lotion which you'll require during those sleepless early days of motherhood.
There are a few different versions of the Bassinest. One is the standard Essentia, which has no extra features. There is also the LUXE Plus series, which has white noise and vibrating to aid babies in falling asleep and stay asleep. Both models include mattresses, a fitted sheet, and a huge storage caddy that is more spacious than the storage bags on other Bassinest options.
The LUXE PLUS series also has the option of lowering the wall lock, a sturdy and stable base that can be adjusted to fit most beds ranging from 22" to 34", a floor light that allows you to observe your baby during the day and a movable storage caddy that can be used to store extra bedding or supplies. The size and weight of this product make it unsuitable for traveling, however, its swivel function is perfect to keep your baby close at home.
3. Joie Roomie Glide
The design is designed to make bonding between parents an ideal experience this co-sleeper from English brand Joie is more than just a
bedside baby sleeper crib. It lets you snuggle with your child without sharing your bed. Feed, soothe or snuggle your baby in the peace of your own bed and take in every moment of the infant stage.
The Joie Roomie Glide Cot is simple to use and clean. It's perfect for parents who want to co-sleep safely with their baby. Its cocoon-like rounded shape with softly padded sides and double mesh windows let you observe your baby's sleep from your own bed or sofa. The side panel that slides can be raised and lowered with one hand. This makes it easier to respond to late-night wakeup calls. The gentle motion will gently soothe your child to a peaceful sleep so that you can enjoy the rest of your night.
The crib comes with a washable mattress that can be removed to make cleaning easier and an aluminum lightweight and sturdy frame that allows for easy movement. It has four lockable wheels to keep it secure in place, and is backed with rubber-covered fabric to prevent scratches to the floor.
The adjustable height of the Roomie Glide is one of its best features. You can alter the legs so that they are perfectly aligned with your baby's mattress. This is particularly useful when you're breastfeeding since it allows you to feed your baby close without leaving your bed. The height can also reduce the risk of your baby falling out of the crib.
A built-in rocking function is a further feature that's ideal for babies. Two buttons on the crib's side activate a gentle rocking movement that is soothing and comforting for babies. You can select either a slow or active tempo. The gliding feature can be turned off when your baby is asleep.
The only downside to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for newborns and you'll have to upgrade to a bigger cot once your baby turns six months old (usually around when they move into their own space). Roanna found it to be a fantastic crib and would recommend it.
4. Bjorn Cradle
The Bjorn Cradle is an excellent choice for parents looking for a chic, simple bedside cot. It's minimalist in design that looks nice in any space, and it's easy to set up and use. Its low-height design is a great feature for parents who want to keep an eye on their child when they sleep.

However, it is important to remember that the cradle should not be used in conjunction with any other padding mattress, pillow comforter, or bedding, since this could create an obstructive risk to infants.
To lower the risk of SIDS, it is important to have secure sleeping habits in all sleeping areas. It is crucial to put your baby on its back during every nap, and also in the cradle.
