Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots, also referred as co-sleepers and bassinets, are designed to let parents sleep close to their children at night, without the risk of SIDS. They are recommended for up to 6 months old, at which point your baby will be ready to transition to the cot.

MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model comes with a bassinet that can be lifted off to use throughout the house, as well as a manual rocking function. It was easy to set up, and even came with a travel cot bedside bag.

Size

Cots and cots differ in terms of size and size, with cots being a bit smaller than beds for cots. They also can be converted into toddler beds, while cot beds are generally only used up to three years older. If you're considering a wooden bedside cot cot, there are typically two sizes to choose from - standard and large - both of which will convert into a toddler bed or cot mattress. If you'd like your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in a larger cot, it's a good idea to choose the larger size.

MFM mom home test Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly bigger than the Moses basket, but not too big for her baby's room. She says it's easy to carry her child in and out for night feeding or calming and the quality is top-notch, compared with many she's seen that feel flimsy.

Another home tester, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is - it's a lift-off bassinet that can be moved around the home, and it's a blast too. It also has a reflux incline and 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 Lora is a cot that Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't need to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be elevated to a height that's comfortable for you to feed your babies. It should also be able to be lowered away from the way, so you can lift up your baby to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is especially useful when 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 think about the height you'd like the base of your crib to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets at the lowest level, some mothers prefer an elevated base to give them more stability. One of our testers for mums stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It is an easy-to-fold side that you can press at the push of the button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used in the event that your baby can hold his head up with no assistance, which is usually at around 6 months. This is due to the danger of suffocation. It is also important to be aware that if your child is old enough to convert an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot you will have to take the sides off when they are ready to do so. This will stop them from getting out or falling out of bed.

Design

There are many styles of bedside cribs, from basic to lavish. The more luxurious options may include features such as a built-in night light or a soothing center that plays sounds and music and has two levels of vibration to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or an adjustable base that makes it easier to reach your child for feedings. Some models can be transformed into the toddler bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance, won Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards best bedside cots Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base 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 makes it perfect for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean or require a the bed for extended durations of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying that it was easy to use and made her baby much easier - especially after her c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of the best bedside cots Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also includes a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's larger than other cribs we tested, but it folds up into its travel bag to make it a small size when not in use.

MFM mum home tester Leya loved the practicality of this crib for bed, she explained how it was created with parents and babies in mind. It is a fantastic design that is incredibly simple to operate and is extremely durable. Its swivelling base is brilliant because it lets you move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be let down to facilitate access - particularly for new mums who are recovering from their C-sections', she said.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it is able to be moved up or down so that parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort him or her nappies. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from an C-section. You should look for the design that allows you to lower the side of the bed by pressing a button. This will allow you to easily raise your child without getting out of bed. This is essential, especially as your child grows and becomes more mobile. You should also not add anything to the crib that could increase 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 like gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR in its NPR, the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these products meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at least meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. However the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be feasible or effective to reduce the number of incidents where infants were entrapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that can be converted to other modes such as bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include a different clause to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using a removable attachment. The attachment can be permanently fixed or removed when the item is not being used as a baby bassinet.

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