Choosing a Large Bedside Cot

Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to sleep close to their baby at night without the risk of SIDS. They are only recommended for up to 6 months, when your baby will be ready to transition to the cot.

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

Size

Cots and cots differ in terms of size, with cots being smaller than beds for cots. Cots can also convert into toddler beds. However cots are generally used by children up to the age of three. If you're looking for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes to choose from - standard and large - both of which can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed. If you want your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a bigger cot, it's an excellent idea to pick the larger size.

Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, was pleased that it was a bit bigger than the typical 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 during night feedings or soothing, and that its quality is better than other cots she has seen that are cheap and flimsy.

Emily, another home-based tester, is thrilled by the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora which is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also rocks. It also comes with an incline of reflux as well as a machine washable breathable liner. And it was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for Best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. Unlike some International or European cot brands The Lora can fit South African cot mattresses so you don't need to buy an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here.

Height

It also needs to be able to be lowered to the ground to allow you to lift your baby towards you for feedings at night or soothing. This is particularly useful when you are recovering from 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 to 70cm.

Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the cot's base to be. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their babies from their standard Moses baskets when the base is situated at the lowest level, while others prefer a higher height to provide them with more stability. One of our testers for mums stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It is an easily collapsible side that you can press at the push of the button.

Be aware that a bedside or bassinet device should only be used when your baby is able to hold his head up without assistance, which is usually at around 6 months. This is because of the risk of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to know that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can convert into a cot it is necessary to remove the sides as soon as your child is able to do this to ensure that they don't get out of bed or fall out of the bed.

Design

There are a variety of styles of cribs for beds that range from basic to extravagant. Some of the most luxurious options include features like an integrated light and a soothing center that plays music and sound and comes with two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep. Another option is the swivelling footrest, which allows you to reach your child in order to feed them. Certain models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&baby bedside co sleeper Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that allows you to take your baby to the crib and transfer them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is great for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or those who have to remain in bed for prolonged periods of time. Jasmine, a MFM mother who tested the product at home, said that it was simple to use and made it easier to reach her baby, especially after the C-section.

Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It is equipped with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's bigger than the other cribs we tested, but it folds up into its travel bag, making it relatively compact when it's not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she appreciated the bedside crib's function. She claimed that it was designed for both parents and infants. It has a great design that is incredibly maneuverable and is super-sturdy. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing because it lets you move the bassinet side to side, and one of its sides can be opened down to facilitate access - particularly for new mums who are recovering from their C-sections,' she added.

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 his or her nappy. This makes it ideal for new mothers recovering from a C-section. Look for a design that lets you lower one side at the press of a button, so you can easily lift your baby without having to get out of bed. This is important, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the chance of injury or suffocation like duvets and pillows that can cause your baby to overheat.

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

In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding additional requirements for bedside sleepers, like the requirement that these products satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements weren't practical or effective in reducing amount of instances where infants are trapped by the 4-in-1 bedside crib rail and an adult bed.

Many of the incidents reported in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted into other types of equipment, like bassinets or play yards. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add an alternative option to the proposed rule for bedside travel crib sleepers with multiple uses that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently fixed or disconnected when the product's not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is examining these comments and others received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule, which is expected to be published in the month of November 2021.
