Choosing a large bedside cot (on the main page)

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to allow parents to rest with their baby at night without risk of SIDS. However they are only recommended for use up to 6 months, when your baby is required to move into a cot, or a moses basket.

Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, loved the feature that this model comes with an adjustable bassinet that can be used all around the house. It also features an option 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. They also often convert into toddler beds, while cot beds are generally only used until three years old. old. There are two sizes of wooden cots, large and standard - which can be transformed into a toddler bed or a cot. If you wish for your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in the larger cot, it's an excellent idea to choose the larger one.

Jasmine, an MFM mom who tried the product at home, was pleased that it was a bit bigger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the room of her baby. It's easy to get her baby into and out of the cot for nighttime feeding or soothing and that the quality is excellent in comparison to other cots she's seen that feel flimsy.

Emily, another home tester, is awed by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi lora that is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora is compatible with a 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 does require a special bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be raised up to a level that is comfortable for you to feed your baby. It should also be able to be dropped down out of the way so that you can pull your baby up towards you for feedings at night or for soothing. This feature is particularly useful if you're recovering from a C-section. For instance the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to an elevation of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm.

You should also think about the level you would like the bottom of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the lowest height, others prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our mom testers mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It comes with a collapsible side which you can use to push of one button.

Be aware that a bedside or bassinet device is only suitable in the event that your baby can hold his head up with no assistance, which is typically about 6 months old. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. It's also important to note that if you choose a bedside sleeper or bassinet that you can convert into a cot and vice versa, you must remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this to ensure they don't get out of bed or get out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of bedside crib, ranging from simple to luxurious. Some of the most expensive options come with features such as a built-in light and a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep, or an adjustable footrest that allows you to reach your child when you need to feed them. There are also models that can be transformed into the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to move to a larger bed.

For example the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that lets you pick up your newborn and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get out of bed. This is ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require the bed for extended durations of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying it was simple to use and made reaching her baby easier - especially after her c-section.

Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also is equipped with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's bigger than the other cribs for bed that we tested, but it folds into its bag for travel, making it compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester, also acknowledged the crib's usefulness. She said it was designed for parents and babies. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. She said that the bassinet's pivoting base was brilliant because it let you move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to facilitate access for moms who are recovering from C-sections.

Safety

A large bedside co sleeper cot 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 nappy. This is why it's perfect for mothers who still be recovering from a C-section. You should look for an option that allows you to lower the sides of the bed by pressing a button. This will allow you to lift your child without getting out of the bed. This is essential, especially as your child grows and becomes more mobile. Do not add anything that may increase the risk of suffocation or injury, such as pillowcases and duvets, which can cause your baby to become overheated.

The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to problems with the product, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) Fabric-side enclosed openings (11 incidents); 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 adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance, these products would have to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't practical or effective in reducing amount of instances where infants are trapped by the bedside rail as well as an adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside cot reviews sleepers that could be converted into other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. Many commenters suggested that the CPSC include a different option to the proposed rule for bedside crib that turns into cot sleepers that are multi-use which would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently attached or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will be examining these comments when it decides on the final rule which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
