Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to allow parents to rest with their baby at night without fear of SIDS. However, they are only suitable for use up to 6 months when your baby will be required to move into a cot, or a moses basket. Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, was impressed by the fact that this model features a bassinet that can be used all around the house. It also features the ability to rock manually. It was easy to assemble and even came with a travel bag. Size Cots and cots differ in terms of size and size, with cots being a bit smaller than beds for cots. They also often convert into toddler beds, while cot beds are generally only used up to three years old. If you're looking for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from – standard and large – both of which convert into a cot/toddler mattress. If you'd like your child (or children) to be able to sleep in the larger cot, it's a good idea to pick the larger size. MFM mum home test Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was a little bigger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. She says that it is easy to lift the baby into and out of the cot during night feeds or for soothing and that it's quality is better than other cots she has seen that are flimsy. Emily is another home tester, loves the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora which is a portable, lift-off bassinet. It also rocks. It also has an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. In contrast to International or European cot brands The Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't need to purchase a new mattress as your baby grows. bedside crib and travel cot does require a special bedding set (60x120cm). Here is the perfect mattress for your cot. Height When choosing a crib for your bed make sure it can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It must also be lower to a level that is not in the way so you can raise your baby to feed them at night or to soothe him. This feature is especially useful if 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 up to 70cm. You should also think about how low you would like the base of your crib to be. While some moms find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets when they are at the lowest height, others prefer an elevated base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option, with 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 is only suitable in the event that your baby can hold his head up without assistance, which is typically about 6 months old. This is because of the danger of suffocation. Be aware that if your child is old enough to turn the bedside sleeper into a cot, you will need to take the sides off as soon as they are able to do this. This will stop them from climbing out or falling out of the bed. Design There are a variety of styles of cribs for bedside use with a range of styles from simple to extravagant. The most luxurious models could include features like a built-in nightlight, a soothing centre that plays music and sounds and offers two levels of vibrations to help soothe baby back to sleep, or the swivelling base which allows you to easily reach your baby for feedings. Some models can be transformed into an infant bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own 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 lets you take your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get up. This is great for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or who have to stay in bed for extended periods. Jasmine is an 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. 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 lining, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's larger than other cribs for bed that we've tested, but it folds up into its bag for travel, making it a small size when not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester, also appreciated the bedside crib's function. She said it was designed for parents and infants. It is easy to move and super-sturdy. Its swivelling base is fantastic because it allows you to move the bassinet from side to side, and one of its sides can be let down to make access easier especially for new mothers who are recovering from their C-sections', she said. Safety The most important security aspect of a large bedside cot is that it can be adjusted or moved to allow parents to reach their child when they require to feed them, soothe them, or change their nappies. This makes it ideal for new mothers recovering from the 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 up without having to get out of bed. This is particularly important as your baby gets older and more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation, such as duvets and pillowcases which could cause your baby to become overheated. The NPR of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to problems with the product like gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents); consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at least meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements weren't efficient or effective in reducing number of incidents where infants are entrapped by the bedside rail 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 play yards and bassinets. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add a second provision to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would allow them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. The attachment can be permanently attached or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies. bedside sleeper cot is examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. bedside crib that turns into cot will consider these comments when it decides on the final rule which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
