Why Nobody Cares About Best Bedside Cot

The Best Bedside Cot

Designed to sit by your bedside cot used, these cribs help you to reach your baby at 3 am for feedings at night or nappy changes. These cribs are also a great alternative to a Moses Basket.

The Lullaby Trust, NHS and other safe sleep experts suggest that babies sleep in a crib away from your bed. This will reduce the possibility of suffocation or overheating. Our mom testers loved this cozy option that has a neat gliding motion to lull babies back to sleep.

Roanna loved the cotbed and called it "a high-quality purchase". She loved that the smooth motion was soothing and lulled her to sleep. She felt that the design was stylish and could be a good match with the majority of bedrooms. However, she did point out that although it's great for infants, once they reach six months old, you'll require a bigger cot.

She also loved the feature that the sliding side panel can be removed with one hand, making it easy to answer those inevitable wake-up calls to feed or comfort little children from her own bed. Another advantage was the fact that the Roomie Glide has 11 height adjustments so it can be adapted to almost any size bed, and there are straps and clips to secure it securely.
