Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to rest with their baby at night without the risk of SIDS. They are recommended for up to 6 months, when your baby is ready to transition to the bed.

MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model features a lift-off bassinet you can use throughout the house, as well as an option to rock manually. It was also simple to assemble and came in its own travel bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots and cot beds vary in size in size, with cots smaller than cot beds. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However cots are generally intended for children who are the age of three. There are two sizes of wooden cots - large and standard, which can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. The larger of the two is a good idea for children who want to sleep in it until they reach approximately three.

Jasmine, an MFM mum who tested the product at home, said she liked that it was a bit bigger than a Moses' basket but still not too big for her baby’s room. She claims that it is easy to get the baby in and out of the cot for night feeds or for soothing, and that its quality is better than other cots she has seen that are less sturdy.

Emily is another home tester, is awed by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi lora - it is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with an incline for reflux and large bedside cot a machine washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted 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 some international or European brands. This means you don't need to buy a brand new mattress when your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be raised to a height that's comfortable for you to feed your the baby. It should also be able to be lower out of the way, so you can lift up your baby to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is particularly helpful 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.

You should also consider the height you would like the base of your crib to be. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their babies from standard Moses baskets when the base is situated at the lowest level, while some prefer a higher elevation to give them more stability. One of our mum testers mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It comes with an easily collapsible side that you can press at the touch the button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device should only be used when your baby can hold his head up without assistance, which is typically about 6 months old. This is due to the risk of inhaling suffocation. It is also important to remember that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can convert into a cot for bedside and vice versa, you must start removing the sides when your child is able to do this, so that they don't climb out or fall out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs for bedside crib travel cot use, ranging from basic to lavish. The most luxurious models could include features like a built-in night light or a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels of vibration to help soothe your baby to sleep, or the swivelling base which allows you to easily reach your baby for feedings. There are also models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to move to a larger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Cot, large bedside cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that allows you to pick up your baby and move them to the other side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births, or those who need to stay in bed for prolonged periods of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, stating that it was simple to use and made her baby easier - especially after her c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the category of Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also includes an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking feature. It's a bit larger than other bedside travel cot cribs we looked at, but it folds flat in its travel bag so it is relatively compact when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she acknowledged the crib's usefulness. She said it was designed to be used by parents and babies. 'It has an excellent design that is very maneuverable and is extremely durable. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing as it means you can move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be let down to make access easier especially for mothers who are recovering from c-sections,' she said.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it can be easily adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or their nappy. This makes it perfect for new mothers recovering from the c-section. It is recommended to choose an option that allows you to lower the sides of the bed with a simple button press. This will allow you to lift your child up without getting out of bed. This is especially important as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. You should also not add anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, including pillows and duvets. These can cause babies to overheat.

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

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance the products would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants are trapped between a bedside rail and an adult bed.

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

The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will take into account these comments when voting on the final rule which is expected to be published in November 2021.
