Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to let parents sleep close to their baby at night without risk of SIDS. They are recommended for up to 6 months, after which your baby will be ready to be moved to the bed.

Mehack, a MFM home tester, was impressed by the feature that this model comes with an integrated bassinet that can be used around the house. It also has an option to rock manually. It was simple to put together, and came with its own travel bag.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They also can be converted into toddler beds, while the cot beds are typically used until three years old. older. There are two sizes of wooden cots - large and standard, which can be transformed into a toddler bed or a cot. Choosing the larger of the two is a good idea for children who want to sleep in it until they reach approximately three.

MFM mom home test Jasmine liked that this bedside cot was a little bigger than the Moses basket but not too large for the space of her baby bedside crib's. She claims that it is easy to get the baby in and out of the cot for night feeds or for soothing and that the quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are flimsy.

Emily is another home tester, loves the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora - it is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also rocks. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&baby bedside cot awards for Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. Contrary to some International or European cot brands The Lora can fit South African cot mattresses so you don't need to buy an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib make sure it can be adjusted to the ideal height for you. It must also be lowered to a level that is not in the way so that you can pull your child towards you to feed them at night or comfort him. This feature is particularly useful in the event of recovering from a C-section. For example the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm.

Another thing to consider is the height you would like to set for the cot's base to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their children from standard Moses baskets if the base is situated at the lowest level, while some prefer a higher elevation to provide them with more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option and one of our mom testers stating that it has an easy-to-use collapsible part that you can push down with the click of the button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device is only suitable until your baby is able to hold their head up without assistance, usually at about 6 months. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. It is also important to be aware that when your child is old enough to convert a bassinet/bedside crib and travel cot sleeping system into a cot, they will need to remove the sides when they are able to do so. This will prevent them from climbing out or falling out of bed.

Design

There are many different styles of cribs that are bedside, ranging from simple to luxurious. Some of the more luxurious options include features like a built-in light and a soothing center that plays music and sound and comes with two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep or the swivelling footrest, which allows you to reach your child when you need to feed them. You can also find models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to transition to a larger bed.

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

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It is equipped with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's slightly larger than other cribs that we've looked at, [Redirect-302] but it folds flat in its bag for travel, so it is relatively compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she praised the bedside crib's functionality. She claimed that it was designed to be used by parents and infants. It has a great design that is very easy to manoeuvre and it is extremely sturdy. Its swivelling base is fantastic because it allows you to move the bassinet from side to side and one of its sides can be let down to make access easier especially for new mothers who are recovering from their c-sections,' she said.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety characteristic is the fact that it can easily be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or his or her nappy. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from the C-section. Find a model that allows you to lower one side with the press of a button, so you can easily lift your baby up without having to get out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby grows older and more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, such as pillowcases and duvets that can cause your baby to overheat.

The NPR released by the CPSC 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); consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside crib vs cot sleepers. For example the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at least the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. However, the CPSC determined that these requirements are not efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents where infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that could be converted into different modes like bassinets and play yards. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add a second clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. This attachment can be permanently attached or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is examining the comments and other suggestions received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when it decides on the final rule, which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
