Choosing a Large Bedside Cot
Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to snuggle with their infant at night without fear of SIDS. However they are not recommended for use up to 6 months when your baby will be required to move into a cot or a moses basket.
Mehack, a MFM home tester, was impressed by the feature that this model comes with an adjustable bassinet that can be used around the house. It also comes with a manual rocking feature. It was simple to put together and even came with a travel bag.
Size
Cots are smaller than cots. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only used by children up to the age of three. If you're considering a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from that are large and standard both of which can be converted into a cot bed/toddler beds. If you wish for your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a larger cot, it's an excellent idea to pick the larger one.
Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, liked that it was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too large for her baby’s room. She says it's easy to lift her baby in and out for night feeding or soothing and that the quality is great when compared to other cots she's seen that are flimsy.
Another home-based test subject, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is It's a bassinet that lifts off that you can move around the house, and it rocks too. It also comes with an incline of reflux as well as 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. Unlike some International or European cot brands, the Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't have to buy an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here.
Height
When you are choosing a crib that is bedside, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It should also be able of being dropped down out of the way to allow you to lift your baby up towards you for feedings at night or to soothe. This feature is particularly useful if you're recovering from an operation such as a C-section. The Next2me cot and the Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to a maximum height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm, and the Knuma Hutch can be adjusted to 70cm.
Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot. While some mums find it easier to get their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, other mums prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our testers for mums stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It comes with an easily collapsible side that which you can use to press of one button.
Be aware that a bassinet/bedside sleeper should not be used until your baby is able to hold their head up unaided typically around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of inhaling suffocation. It is also important to remember that if you select a bassinet/bedside travel crib sleeper that can be converted into a cot it is necessary to start removing the sides when your child is ready for this to ensure they don't get out of bed or fall out of the bed.
Design
There are many different styles of cribs for bedside use that range from basic to luxurious. The more expensive options could include features such as an integrated night light or a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels of vibrating 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 converted to the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to move to a larger bed.
The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance, won 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 move them to the other side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or those who have to stay in bed for prolonged periods of time. Jasmine, a MFM mother who tested the product at home, said it was easy to operate and made it easier for her to reach her baby, especially after a c-section.
Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline, and rocking function. It's larger than other cribs we've tested, but it folds into its bag for travel, making it compact when not in use.
Leya, MFM mum home tester also acknowledged the crib's usefulness. She said it was designed to be used by parents and babies. It has a great design that is very simple to operate and is super-sturdy. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing because it lets you move the bassinet from side to side, and one of its sides can be let down to make access easier - particularly for new mums who are recovering from their C-sections', she said.
Safety
A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby to feed, comfort or change his or their nappies. This means that it's ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C-section. It is recommended to choose an option that allows you to lower the sides of the bed with a single button press. This allows you to lift your child without getting out of bed. This is essential, especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. Do not add anything that may increase the chance of injury or suffocation such as duvets and pillowcases, which can cause your baby to overheat.
The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product like gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents).
In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. However, the CPSC determined that these requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed.
A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside crib that turns into cot sleepers that can be transformed into different types of furniture, like bassinets or play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative clause to the proposed rule for bedside cot mattress sleepers with multiple uses which would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently fixed or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet.
The CPSC is examining these comments and others received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when it decides on the final rule which is expected to be issued in the month of November 2021.
