Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to let parents snuggle with their infant at night without the risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, when your baby will be ready to move to an actual bed. MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model comes with a lift-off bassinet you can use in the home and the ability to rock manually. It was easy to assemble, and came with its own travel bag. Size Cots are smaller than cots. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However cots are generally used for children up to the age of three. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes available both large and standard both of which can be converted into a cot bed/toddler bed. The larger of the two is a good idea if you want your child to sleep in it until the age of approximately three. MFM mother home test Jasmine liked that this bedside cot was slightly bigger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the space of her baby's. Jasmine says it's easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot for evening feedings or to soothe and that it's quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are cheap and flimsy. Another home-based test subject, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product it's a drop-off bassinet 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 breathes. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. In contrast to 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). Here you can find the ideal mattress for your cot. Height When you are choosing a crib that is bedside, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It also needs to be able to be lowered down so that you can lift your baby towards you for night feeds or to soothe. This feature is particularly useful in the event of recovering from an operation such as a C-section. For example, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm, and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm. You should also think about how low you would like the base of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets at the lowest level, some mothers prefer a higher base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice, with one of our mum testers stating that it is easy to use with a collapsible side that you can push down with the click of the button. Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should not be used until your baby can hold their head without assistance typically around 6 months. This is due to the danger of being suffocated. It is also important to be aware that if your child is old enough to be able to convert a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot, you must remove the sides when they are able to do so. This will prevent them from getting out or falling out of the 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 such as a built-in light and a soothing center which plays music and sounds and has two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep or an adjustable footrest that allows you to reach your child in order to feed them. Certain models can be converted into the toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own 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 lets you pick up your baby and move them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get up. This makes it ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require a the bed for extended periods of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying it was easy to use and made her baby much more manageable - especially after her c-section. Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the category of Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also comes with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's bigger than the other cribs we tested, but it folds up into its bag for travel, making it a small size when not in use. MFM mom home test Leya also liked the functionality of this crib for bed, explaining how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. 'It has an excellent design that is incredibly simple to operate and is extremely durable. She said that the bassinet's pivoting base was brilliant because it let you move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to facilitate access, especially for new mums recovering from C-sections. Safety A bedside cot that is large and spacious's most important safety feature is that it can easily be moved up or down so that parents can reach their baby to feed, comfort or change his or her diaper. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from an C-section. You should choose a design which lets you lower the sides of the bed by pressing a button. This will allow you to lift your child without getting out of bed. This is especially crucial as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. It is also important to not add anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, including duvets and pillows, which could cause babies to become overheated. Click At this website of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product issues, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents); consumer misassembly or missing parts (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However the CPSC determined that these requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents where infants were entrapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to other types of equipment, like play yards or bassinets. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. The attachment can be permanently attached or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is reviewing these comments and others received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to be published in November 2021.
