Choosing a Large Bedside Cot
Bedside cots, also referred to as bassinets and co-sleepers, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their children at night, without the risk of SIDS. However they are not recommended 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 that this model comes with a lift-off bassinet you can use throughout the house, as well as a manual rocking bedside crib function. It was also simple to put together and came in its own 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 usually only intended for children who are the age of three. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from that are large and standard both of which will convert into a toddler bed or cot beds. If you want your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in the larger cot, it's a great idea to pick the larger one.
Jasmine, a MFM mom who tried the product at home, was pleased that it was a bit bigger than a Moses' basket but still not too large for the room of her baby. It's easy to lift her baby into and out of the cot for nighttime feeding or soothing, and the quality is top-notch, compared with many she's seen that are flimsy.
Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is - it's a lift-off bassinet that you can move around the house, and it rocks too. It also has a reflux incline option and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike many international or European brands. This means that you don't have to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here.
Height
When choosing a bedside cot be sure to choose one that can be raised to a height that is comfortable for feeding your babies. It should also be able to be lowered away from the way, so you can lift up your baby bedside crib to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is particularly useful in the event of recovering from an operation such as a C-section. For instance 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 base of your cot to be. While some mums find it easier to get their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, others prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option and one of our mom test subjects saying 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 should only be used in the event that your baby can hold his head up with no assistance, which is typically at around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. It's also important to know that if you choose a bedside travel crib sleeper or bassinet that you can be converted into a cot, you will need to remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this to ensure they don't climb out or fall out of bed.
Design
There are a variety of cribs for bedside use, ranging from basic to lavish. Some of the more expensive options come with features like an inbuilt light or a center of calm which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep, or a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child in order to feed them. There are also models that can be transformed into an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to transition to a larger bed.
For instance, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your newborn and move them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get up. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or who require bed for longer periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made reaching her baby much easier particularly after her c-section.
Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib and has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's slightly larger than other cribs that we've looked at, but it folds flat in its bag for travel, so it's relatively compact when not in use.
MFM mum home test Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib with changing table crib describing how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. It is a fantastic design that is incredibly maneuverable and is extremely durable. Its swivelling base is fantastic because it lets you move the bassinet from 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 (posteezy.com)'s main security characteristic is that it can easily be moved up or down so that parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or her diaper. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from the c-section. You should look for an option that allows you to lower the sides of the bed with a simple button press. This allows you to lift your child without having to get out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby grows older and more mobile. It is also important to not add anything to the crib that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, like duvets and pillows, which can cause babies to overheat.
The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues, such as gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents).
In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of imposing additional requirements for foldable bedside crib sleepers, such as the requirement that they meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. However, the CPSC determined that these requirements would not be practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed.
The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers which can be converted to different modes like bassinets and play yards. Several commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets through the use of an attachment that is removable and can be connected permanently or removed when the product 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 take into consideration these comments when it decides on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
