Mehack, a MFM home tester, loved the feature that this model comes with an adjustable bassinet that can be used all around the house. It also has a manual rocking feature. It was also simple to put together and came with its own travel bag for easy storage.

Size

Cots and cot beds vary in terms of size in size, with cots smaller than cot beds. They can also be converted into toddler beds, while they are typically used for up to three years. old. There are two sizes of wooden cots, large and standard - which can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. If you want your child (or children) to be able to sleep in the larger cot, it's a good option to select the larger size.

MFM mother home test Jasmine liked that this bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the space of her baby's. She says that it is easy to lift 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 flimsy.

Height

When selecting a bedside crib pick one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be lower to a level that is not in the way so you can raise your baby towards you to feed them at night or soothe him. This is particularly useful if you are recovering from a C-section. For instance, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to an elevation of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm.

You should also think about the level you'd like the base of your crib to be. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their children from standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest point and others prefer a higher elevation to give them greater stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice and one of our mum testers stating that it comes with a simple collapsible part that you can press down at the touch of one button.

Keep in mind that a bedside or bassinet is only suitable until your baby is able to hold their head up without assistance generally approximately 6 months. This is due to the risk of suffocation. It's also important to know that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib it is necessary to start removing the sides when your child is ready for this, so that they don't climb out or get out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of bedside crib to cot cribs, from simple to luxurious. Some of the more luxurious options include features like an inbuilt light, a soothing center that plays music and sound and comes with two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep, or an adjustable footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them. You can also find models that can be converted to an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to transition to a larger bed.

For instance, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Crib, best bedside cot for newborn Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your newborn and move them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get up. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean or require bed for longer periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested this product at home, stated that it was easy to operate and made it easier for her to reach her baby - especially after having a C-section.

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

MFM mom home tester Leya loved the practicality of this bedside crib explaining how it was designed with parents and babies in mind. It is a fantastic design that is extremely simple to operate and is extremely durable. 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 ease access - particularly for Large Bedside Cot new mums who are recovering from C-sections,' she added.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is the fact that it can easily be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or his or her diaper. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from the C-section. It is recommended to choose a design which allows you to lower the side of the bed by pressing a button. This will allow you to raise your child without having to get out of the bed. This is especially crucial as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. You'll also want to not add anything to the crib that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, such as duvets and pillows, which can cause babies to overheat.

The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues like gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example the products would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at least the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. However the CPSC found that these requirements would not be practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed.

Many of the incidents reported in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to different types of furniture, like bassinets or play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative provision to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers which would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that is removable. The attachment can be permanently attached or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is considering these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when it decides on the final rule, which is expected to be released in November of 2021.
