Choosing a Large bedside crib and cot Cot

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

MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model features an adjustable bassinet that you can use throughout the house, as well as the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to put together and came in its own travel bag for convenient storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. 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 to choose from both large and standard both of which convert into a toddler bed or cot mattress. If you wish for your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in a bigger cot, it's a good idea to pick the larger one.

MFM mom home test Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the space of her baby's. She claims that it is easy to get the baby into and out of the cot during night feedings or soothing and that the quality is better than other cots she has seen that are less sturdy.

Emily, another home-based tester, is thrilled by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora which is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable breathable liner. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora is a perfect fit for a South African cot mattress unlike many international or European brands. This means you do not need to purchase a new mattress every time your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here.

Height

When you are choosing a crib that is bedside make sure it can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be lower to a level that is not in the way so that you can pull your baby to feed them at night or comfort him. This is especially useful if you're recovering from C-section. For example, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to an elevation of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm, and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm.

Another thing to consider is how low you want the cot's base to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets at the lowest level, some mothers prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our mum testers mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It has an easily collapsible side that you can push at the press of one button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside co sleeper cot sleeping device is only suitable until your baby can hold their head up unaided typically approximately 6 months. This is due to the risk of being suffocated. It's also important to note that if you opt for a bedside or bassinet which can be converted into a cot it is necessary to start removing the sides when your child is able to do this to ensure that they don't climb out or get out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs that are bedside, ranging from basic to extravagant. Some of the most expensive options come with features like a built-in light, a soothing center that plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep. Another option is a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child to feed them. Some models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed.

For example the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you take your baby and move them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get out of bed. This is great for new mothers recovering from Caesareans or who have to remain in bed for extended periods. Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested this product at home, stated that it was simple to use and made it easier to reach her baby bedside cot, especially after a C-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It comes with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline, and rocking function. It's bigger than the other cribs we've tested, but it folds down into its bag for travel, making it a small size when not in use.

MFM mum home tester Leya also liked the functionality of this bedside crib, describing how it was designed with parents and babies in mind. It is lightweight and easy to move. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing because it allows you to move the bassinet side to side, and one of its sides can be opened down to ease access especially for new mothers who are recovering from c-sections,' she said.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is the fact that it can easily be raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby to feed, comfort or change his or their nappy. This means that it's ideal for new mothers who may still recovering from a C section. It is recommended to choose an option that lets you lower the side of the bed by pressing a button. This will allow you to easily lift your child without having to get out of the bed. This is important, especially as your child grows and becomes more mobile. It is also important to be careful not to add anything to the cot that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, including pillows and duvets, which can cause babies to overheat.

The NPR of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product issues like gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents) and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC looked into 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. However the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances in which infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that could be converted into other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multiuse bedside cot co sleeper sleepers to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets using an attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the item is not being used as a bassinet.

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