Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to let parents sleep close to their baby at night without the risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months old, at which point your baby is old enough to be moved to the bed.

Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, loved the fact that this model features an integrated bassinet that can be used throughout the house. It also comes with a manual rocking feature. It was also simple to put together and came in its own travel cot bedside 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 generally used by children up to the age of three. If you're looking for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which convert into a cot bed/toddler beds. If you wish for your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in a larger cot, it's a good option to select the larger size.

Jasmine is an MFM mom who tried the product at home, liked that it was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too big for bedside crib the baby's room. She claims that it is easy to get the baby in and out of the cot during night feeds or for soothing, and that its quality is superior to others she has seen that are less sturdy.

Another home-based test subject, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product It's a bassinet that lifts off that you can move around the home, and it's a blast too. It also comes with an incline of reflux as well as a machine washable breathable liner. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. Contrary to some International or European cot brands, the Lora can fit South African cot mattresses so you don't have to buy another mattress as your baby grows. However, it will require a special bespoke bedding set (60x120cm). Here you can find the ideal mattress for your cot.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib pick one that can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It should also be able to be lower to a level that is not in the way so you can lift up your child towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This is particularly useful when you are recovering from a C-section. The Next2me Cot and Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to an maximum height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm, and the Knuma Hutch up to 70cm.

You should also consider the level you would like the bottom of your crib to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their infants from standard Moses baskets when the base is situated at the lowest level, while others prefer a higher level to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option, with one of our mom testers saying that it is easy to use with a collapsible part that you can push down with the click of a button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device is only suitable in the event that your baby can hold his head up without assistance, which is usually about 6 months old. This is due to the danger of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to know that if you select a bedside or bassinet which can convert into a cot and vice versa, you must start removing the sides when your child is able to do this, so that they don't climb out or fall out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of styles of bedside sleeper cot crib that range from basic to extravagant. Some of the more extravagant options include features like a built-in light, a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep or a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them. You can also find models that can be transformed into the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to transition to a larger bed.

For instance, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded 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 baby and move them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get out of bed. This makes it perfect for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require bed for longer periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, said that it was simple to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby - especially after the 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 and has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's a bit bigger than other bedside cribs we tested but it folds flat into its bag for travel, so it's quite compact when not in use.

The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing because it allows you to move the bassinet from side to side and one of its sides can be opened down to ease access especially for mothers who are recovering from c-sections,' she said.

Safety

The most important safety feature of a large bedside cot is that it can be adjusted or moved to allow parents to reach their baby when they need to feed them, soothe them, or change their nappy. This means that it's 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 needing to get out of the bed. This is essential, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation, such as duvets and pillowcases which could cause your baby to become overheated.

The CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) as well as consumer misassembly, or missing parts (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements for bedside cot co sleeper sleepers, such as the requirement that these products satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements were not efficient or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are trapped between the bedside rail and an adult bed.

Many of the incidents reported in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes, such as bassinets or play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets through the use of an attachment that is removable and can be connected permanently or disconnected when the item is not being used as a bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be issued in the month of November 2021.
