Choosing a large bedside cot (https://www.metooo.co.uk/u/675dd787acd17a11771ca9a7)

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

MFM home tester Mehack was impressed that this model comes with a bassinet that can be lifted off to use throughout the house, as well as an option to rock manually. It was also simple to put together and came in its own travel bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only intended for children who are the age of three. If you're looking for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes to choose from that are large and standard both of which will convert into a cot/toddler beds. The larger of the two is a good idea if you want your child to sleep in it until they reach approximately three.

Jasmine, a MFM mother who tested the product at home, liked the fact that it was a little bigger than the typical Moses basket, but not too large for the baby's room. It's easy to get her baby in and out for night feeding or soothing, and that the quality is great in comparison to other cots she's encountered that feel cheap and 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 has 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. Unlike some International or European cot brands The Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't need to buy a new mattress as your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib 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 you can lift up your baby towards you to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is particularly useful when you're recovering from a C-section. For instance the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted 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 how low you want the base of your cot. Some moms find it is easier to lift their children from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest level and others prefer a higher elevation to give them greater stability. One of our testers for mums stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It has a collapsible side you can push at the push 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 because of the risk of inhaling suffocation. You should also be aware that when your child is old enough to be able to convert an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot you will have to take the sides off once they are ready to do so. This will stop them from climbing out or falling out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of styles of bedside crib with a range of styles from simple to luxurious. The most luxurious models could include features like a built-in nightlight and a calming centre which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels of vibrating to help soothe baby back to sleep, or the swivelling base which allows you to easily reach your baby for feedings. There are also models that can be converted to an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, for example was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It features a swivelling bottom that allows you to take your baby to the crib and transfer them to the other side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean or require bed for longer durations of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made her baby easier especially after a c-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib and has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's slightly larger than the other cribs that we've tried, but it folds flat in its bag for travel, so it's relatively compact when not in use.

MFM mum home tester Leya also liked the functionality of this crib for bed, explaining how it was designed with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is lightweight and easy to move. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing as it means you can move the bassinet from side-to-side and one of its sides can be let down to facilitate access - particularly for new mums who are recovering from C-sections,' she added.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it can easily be adjusted or moved so that 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. You should choose the design that allows you to lower the sides of the bed with a simple button press. This will allow you to easily lift your child up without getting out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the chance of injury or suffocation, such as duvets and pillowcases, which can cause your baby to become overheated.

The CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems that included gaps between the twin bedside cot sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) Fabric-side enclosed openings (11 incidents); consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these beds meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are entrapped by the newborn bedside cot rail as well as an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted into other modes, such as bassinets or play yards. Many commenters suggested that the CPSC include a different clause to the proposed rule for bedside cot for twins 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 removed when the item is not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is currently reviewing these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into account these comments when voting on the final rule, which is expected to be published in November 2021.
