Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to let parents rest with their baby 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 move to a bed.

Mehack is an MFM home tester, loved the fact that this model features an integrated bassinet that can be used around the home. It also has a manual rocking bedside crib feature. It was easy to assemble, and even came with a travel bag.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They can also be converted into toddler beds, while they are typically used up to three years older. If you're looking for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes to choose from that are large and standard both of which will convert into a cot bed/toddler mattress. If you'd like your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a larger cot, it's an excellent option to select the larger size.

MFM mom home test Jasmine liked that this bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too large for her baby's room. She says that it is easy to get the baby into and out of the cot for night feeds or for soothing and that the quality is superior to others she has seen that are flimsy.

Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product - it's a lift-off bassinet that can be moved around the home, and it's a blast too. It also comes with a reflux incline option and a machine-washable breathable liner. 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 you do not need to purchase a brand new mattress when your baby grows. However, it does require an exclusive bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed be sure to choose one that can be raised up to a height that's comfortable for you to feed your baby. 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 particularly useful when you're recovering from an operation such as 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 to 70cm.

Another thing to consider is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot. Some moms find it is easier to lift their infants from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest level, while others prefer a higher elevation to provide them with more stability. One of our mum testers mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It comes with an easy-to-fold side that you can push at the press of one button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used when your baby is able to hold his head up with no assistance, which is usually about 6 months old. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. It is also important to remember that if you select a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can convert into a cot it is necessary to start removing the sides when your child is ready for this, so that they don't climb out or get out of bed.

Design

There are many styles of cribs that are bedside cosleeper, ranging from basic to extravagant. The most luxurious models could include features such as a built-in nightlight and a calming centre that plays sounds and music and has two levels of vibration to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or a swivelling base that allows you to easily reach your child for feedings. Some models can be converted into an infant bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your baby and transfer them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is great for new mothers recovering from Caesarean births or who have to remain in bed for extended periods. Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested this product at home, said that it was easy to operate and made it easier for her to reach her baby - especially after having a C-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another option. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's a bit bigger than the other bedside cribs we looked at, but it folds flat in its bag for travel, so it's quite compact when not in use.

MFM mom home tester Leya also liked the functionality of this bedside baby sleeper crib, describing how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. She said that the swivelling bassinet base was brilliant because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to make access easier, especially for new mums recovering from C-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main security feature is that it is able to be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or his or her nappy. This makes it ideal for new mothers recovering from an c-section. Look for a design that allows you to lower one side at the push of a button, so you can effortlessly lift your baby without getting out of bed. This is crucial, particularly as your child grows and becomes more mobile. Do not add anything that may increase the risk of suffocation or injury, like duvets and pillows, which can cause your baby to overheat.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues that include gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, 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 were not practical or effective in reducing number of incidents where infants are entrapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed.

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

The CPSC is currently reviewing the comments and other suggestions received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule, which is expected to be released in November 2021.
