Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots, also referred to as bassinets and co-sleepers, are designed to allow parents to sleep close to their children at night without the risk of SIDS. However they are not suitable for use up to 6 months of age when your baby is required to be moved into a cot or moses basket. MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model features a lift-off bassinet you can use in the home and the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to put together and came with its own travel bag for convenient storage. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. They also often convert into toddler beds, while they are typically used up to three years older. There are two sizes of wooden cots – big and standard – which can be converted into a toddler bed or cot. If you want your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a larger cot, it's an excellent idea to choose the larger one. Jasmine, an MFM mom who tried the product at home, said she liked that it was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too big for the baby's room. She says that it is easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot for night feeds or for soothing and that the quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are less sturdy. Emily, another home-based tester, is thrilled by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora that is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also rocks. It also has an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means you don't have to purchase a new mattress every time your baby grows. However, it requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here is the perfect mattress for your cot. Height When choosing a crib for your bed pick one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be able of being dropped down so that you can lift your baby towards you during night feedings or to soothe. This feature is particularly useful when you're recovering from an operation such as a C-section. The Next2me Cot and 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 consider how low you'd like the base of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to get their babies out of standard Moses baskets at the lowest level, some mothers prefer an elevated base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option with one of our mum testers saying that it is easy to use with a collapsible side that is easy to use at the push of the button. Be aware that a bedside or bassinet device is only suitable when your baby is able to hold his head without assistance, which is typically at around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. You should also be aware that if your child is old enough to turn a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot you must remove the sides once they are ready to do so. This will stop them from getting out or falling out of bed. Design There are a variety of styles of cribs for beds with a range of styles from simple to luxurious. Some of the more expensive options come with features such as a built-in light and a soothing center that plays music and sound and comes with two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child in order to feed them. There are also models which can be made into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that lets you pick up your baby and move them to the opposite side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This is ideal for new mums recovering from Caesarean births or those who have to remain in bed for extended periods. bedside travel crib loved this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made her baby easier particularly after her c-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the Best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib and has a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's bigger than the other cribs for bed that we tested, but it folds down into its travel bag to make it relatively compact when it's not in use. MFM mum home tester Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib explaining how it was designed with the needs of parents and children in mind. It has a great design that is incredibly simple to operate and is extremely sturdy. Its swivelling base is brilliant as it means you can move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be lowered down to facilitate access especially for mothers who are recovering from c-sections,' she said. Safety The bedside cot's primary security feature is that it can easily be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or his or her nappy. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from an 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 the bed. This is especially important as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. It is also important to be careful not to add anything to the crib that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, like pillows and duvets, which can cause babies to overheat. The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product like gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For example they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't practical or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are trapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed. Many of the incidents reported in the NPR concerned 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 include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use bedside sleepers that would enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets through the use of an attachment that is removable and can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet. The CPSC is examining these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be published in November 2021.
