Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to snuggle with their infant at night without risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, when your baby will be ready to transition to an actual bed. MFM home tester Mehack was impressed that this model features a bassinet that can be lifted off to use throughout the house, as well as an option to rock manually. It was easy to assemble, and came with its own travel bag. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They also can be converted into toddler beds, while they are typically used until three years old. old. If you're opting for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which convert into a toddler bed or cot mattress. Choosing the larger one is a good idea for children who want to sleep in it until they reach at least three years old. MFM mum home tester Jasmine liked that this bedside cot was slightly larger than the Moses basket but not too large for her baby's room. It's easy to carry her child into and out of the cot for nighttime feeding or soothing, and the quality is top-notch, compared with many she's seen that feel flimsy. Another home test subject, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product – it's a lift-off bassinet that you can move around the home, and it's rocking too. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted 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 you do not need to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it will require a special bespoke bedding set (60x120cm). Here's the ideal mattress for your cot. Height When choosing a bedside cot choose one that can be raised up to a height that's comfortable for feeding your babies. It also needs to be able to be dropped to the ground so that you can pull your baby up towards you for feedings at night or for soothing. This is particularly useful in the event of recovering from a C-section. The Next2me cot and the Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to an maximum height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm, and the Knuma Hutch up to 70cm. Another thing to think about is how low you want the cot's base to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, other mums prefer an elevated base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice with one of our mum test subjects saying that it comes with a simple collapsible side that is easy to push down with the click of a button. Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used until your baby can hold their head without assistance typically around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. Be aware that if your child is old enough to convert an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot, you will have to remove the sides once they are able to do this. This will prevent them from getting out or falling out of the bed. Design There are many different styles of cribs for bedside use, ranging from basic to extravagant. The most luxurious models could include features such as a built-in nightlight or a soothing center 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 get your baby's food in the right place. You may also find some models that can be transformed into the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed. For example, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that allows you to pick up your newborn and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get up. This makes it ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or who need to stay in bed for longer durations of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, stating that it was simple to use and made her baby much easier particularly after her c-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another option. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a liner, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. bedside baby sleeper 's a bit bigger than some of the other bedside cribs we tested but it folds flat into its bag for travel, so it's quite compact when not in use. MFM mum home test Leya also liked the functionality of this bedside crib describing how it was designed with the needs of parents and children in mind. It has a great design that is very maneuverable and is extremely durable. She said that the bassinet's swivelling base was fantastic because 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 bedside cot that is large and spacious's most important security characteristic is the fact that it can be easily moved up or down so that parents can reach their baby to feed, comfort or change his or their nappies. This makes it ideal for mothers who are still recovering from a C-section. You should choose an option that allows you to lower the side of the bed with a simple button press. This will allow you to lift your child up without having to get out of the bed. This is important, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. You should also be careful not to add anything to the cot that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, such as pillows and duvets. These can cause babies to overheat. The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues like gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at least the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. However, the CPSC found that these requirements are not feasible or effective to reduce the number of incidents in which infants were trapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside sleepers that can be transformed into other types of equipment, like play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets through the use of an attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will be examining these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to be issued in the month of November 2021.
