Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and large bedside cot bassinets) are designed to allow parents to rest with their baby at night without fear of SIDS. However they are not recommended for use up to 6 months, when your baby is required to move into a cot or moses basket.

Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, loved the fact that this model features a bassinet that can be used around the home. It also features the ability to rock manually. It was also easy to assemble and large bedside cot came in its own bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They also often convert into toddler beds, while the cot beds are typically used up to three years old. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes available both large bedside crib and standard both of which convert into a cot bed/toddler bed. Choosing the larger of the two is a good choice if you want your child to sleep in it until they reach at least three years old.

Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, was pleased that it was a bit bigger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the baby's room. She says it's easy to carry her child in and out for night feeding or soothing and the quality is top-notch when compared to other cots she's seen that are flimsy.

Emily who is a home tester, is awed by the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora that is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with a reflux incline option and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means you do not need to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here's the perfect mattress for your cot.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be elevated to a level that is comfortable for you to feed your baby. It must also be lower out of the way, so that you can pull your baby to feed them at night or soothe him. This is especially useful when you're recovering from an operation such as a C-section. For example the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up 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 mothers find 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 give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option and one of our mom testers stating that it has an easy-to-use collapsible side that you can press down at the touch of the button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device is only suitable when your baby can hold his head up without assistance, which is typically around 6 months. This is due to the danger of being suffocated. It's also important to know that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can convert into a cot, you will need to begin removing the sides once your child is able to do this to ensure they don't get out of bed or fall out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs for bedside use, ranging from simple to luxurious. The more expensive options could include features such as a built-in nightlight, a soothing centre which plays music and sounds and offers two levels of vibrating to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or an adjustable base that allows you to get your baby's food in the right place. You may also find some models that can be converted to a cot bed or toddler bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It features a swivelling bottom that lets you pick up your baby and transfer them to the opposite side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This is ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesareans or who need to stay in bed for longer periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying that it was simple to use and made reaching her baby much more manageable particularly after her c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and comes with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's a bit larger than some of the other cribs for bed we've looked at, but it folds flat in its travel cot bedside crib bag, so it's relatively compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester also praised the bedside crib's functionality. She claimed that it was designed for both parents and children. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. She also said that the swivelling bassinet base was fantastic since it allowed you to 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 cot's main safety characteristic is that it can easily be moved up or down so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or their nappies. This means that it's ideal for new mothers who may still be recovering from a C-section. You should choose a design which lets you lower the sides of the bed with a single button press. This will allow you to easily raise your child without getting out of the bed. This is particularly important as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. Avoid adding anything that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation, like duvets and pillows which could cause your baby to become overheated.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues that include gaps between the bedside crib and travel cot sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents).

In its NPR in its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of imposing additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these products satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered 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.

The majority of the incidents covered in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted into other modes, such as bassinets or play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. Attachments can be permanently attached or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is reviewing the comments and other suggestions received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when it decides on the final rule, which is expected to be released in the month of November 2021.
