Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, was pleased that it was a bit bigger than the typical Moses basket, but not too large for the room of her baby. Jasmine says it's easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot for evening feedings or to soothe, and that its quality is better than other cots she has seen that are flimsy.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be raised to a height that is comfortable for you to feed your babies. It should also be able to be lower to a level that is not in the way so you can lift up your baby towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This is especially useful when you're recovering from an operation such as a C-section. The Next2me Cot and Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to an maximum height of 58cm, while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm and the Knuma Hutch to 70cm.

Another thing to consider is how low you want the base of your cot. While some mums find it easier to lift their children out of traditional 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 stating that it comes with a simple collapsible side that you can push down with the click of one button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used until your baby is able to hold their head up without assistance, usually at about 6 months. This is due to the possibility of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to know that if you choose a bedside or bassinet which can be converted into a crib it is necessary to remove the sides as soon as your child is able to do this to ensure they don't get out of bed or get out of the bed.

The most luxurious models could include features such as a built-in nightlight, a soothing centre that plays music and sounds and comes with two levels of vibrations to help soothe your baby to sleep, or even an adjustable base that allows you to reach your baby for feedings. Some models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother and baby bedside crib Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your baby and transfer them to the other side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This makes it ideal for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require bed for longer periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested this product at home, said that it was easy to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby, especially after a c-section.

Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It comes with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking feature. It's a bit larger than other cribs for bed we've tried, but it folds flat in its travel bag, so it is relatively compact when not in use.

MFM mom home tester Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib, she explained how it was created with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. She said that the bassinet's pivoting base was a great idea since it allowed you to 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 crib with changing table cot that is large and spacious's most important security feature is that it can easily be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort them, or change his or their diaper. This makes it ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C-section. Choose a model that lets you lower one side at the push of a button so you can effortlessly lift your baby without having to get out of the bed. This is important, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile.

The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues that include gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside baby bed sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside cot mattress sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't efficient or effective in reducing amount of instances where infants are entrapped by the bedside rail and an adult bed.

A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to different modes like bassinets and play yards. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets by using an attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet.

The CPSC is reviewing these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be published in November 2021.
