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. However, they are only suitable for use up to 6 months when your baby is required to move into a cot or a moses basket.

MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model features a lift-off bassinet you can use in the home and a manual rocking function. It was also simple to put together and came with its own travel bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They also often convert into toddler beds, whereas they are typically used until three years old. old. There are two sizes of wooden cots - large and standard, which can be transformed into a toddler bed or a cot. Choosing the larger one is a good option if you want your child to sleep in it until they are +/- three.

Jasmine, a MFM mom who tried the product at home, said she liked the fact that it was a little bigger than a Moses' basket but still not too large for the room of her baby. She says it's easy to carry her child in and out for night feeding or calming and the quality is top-notch when compared to other cots she's seen that are flimsy.

Another home test subject, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is It's a bassinet that lifts off that you can move around the home, and it's a blast too. It also comes with a reflux incline option and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. And it was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket.

Height

When choosing a crib for your bed pick one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It should also be able to be lowered away from the way, so you can raise your child towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This feature is especially useful in the event of recovering from a C section. For example the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to a height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma huddle up to 70cm.

Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their infants from standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest level and others prefer a higher height to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option, with one of our mum testers stating that it has an easy-to-use collapsible part that you can use at the push of one button.

Be aware that a bedside or bassinet device should only be used when your baby is able to hold his head without assistance, which is usually about 6 months old. This is due to the danger of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to note that if you choose a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a cot it is necessary to begin removing the sides once your child is ready for this to ensure they don't get out of bed or fall out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs that are bedside crib and cot, ranging from basic to extravagant. Some of the more expensive options come with features like an integrated light and a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep, or a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child to feed them. There are also models which can be made into an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to transition to a bigger bed.

For instance, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that lets you pick up your newborn 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 Caesarean sections or who have to remain in bed for prolonged periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, saying it was simple to use and made her baby much easier particularly after her c-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another option. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the best bedside cots Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a lining, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's bigger than the other cribs we tested, but it folds into its travel bag to make it a small size when not in use.

MFM mom home test Leya also liked the functionality of this bedside cot 6 months plus crib, she explained how it was created with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is easy to move and super-sturdy. She also said that the swivelling bassinet base was a great idea since it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to make access easier for mothers who are recovering from c-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main security feature is that it is able to be raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or their nappies. This makes it ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C-section. Find a model that allows you to lower one side at the push of a button, so you can easily lift your baby without having to get out of bed. This is particularly important as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the chance of suffocation or injury, like duvets and pillows which could cause your baby to become overheated.

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

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For large bedside cot example, these products would have to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements were not feasible or effective in reducing number of incidents where infants are trapped between the foldable bedside crib rail and an adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside crib that turns into cot sleepers that can be converted to other modes such as bassinets and play yards. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets through the use of a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the item is not being used as the bassinet.

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