If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes available that are large and standard both of which can be converted into a cot/toddler bed. If you wish for your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a bigger cot, it's a great idea to pick the larger size.

MFM mum home test Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket but not too large for her baby's room. Jasmine says it's easy to lift the baby into and out of the cot during night feeds or for soothing, and that its quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are flimsy.

Height

When choosing a crib for your bed make sure it can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be lowered to a level that is not in the way so you can raise your child 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 up to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm, and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm.

You should also consider how low you'd like the base of your crib to be. While some moms find it easier to lift their babies out of traditional Moses baskets when they are at the lowest height, other mums prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our testers for mums mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It is a collapsible side you can press at the touch one button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside baby sleeper sleeping device is only suitable until your baby is able to hold their head without assistance generally approximately 6 months. This is due to the possibility of inhaling suffocation. Be aware that when your child is old enough to convert the bedside sleeper into a cot, they must take the sides off once they are able to do so. This will stop them from getting out or falling out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs that are bedside cot crib, ranging from basic to extravagant. The more luxurious options may include features like an integrated night light or a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels of vibrating to help soothe baby back to sleep, or even the swivelling base which allows you to easily reach your child for feedings. You can also find models which can be made into the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to move to a larger bed.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, for example, won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that lets you take your baby to the crib and move them to the other side of the crib without getting out of the bed. This is ideal for new mums recovering from Caesarean births or those who have to stay in bed for extended periods. Jasmine, a MFM mother who tested the product at home, said it was easy to operate and made it easier to reach her baby - especially after a C-section.

Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It is equipped with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's a bit bigger than other bedside cribs we tried, but it folds flat into its travel bag, so it is relatively compact when not in use.

MFM mom home tester Leya loved the practicality of this bedside crib, she explained how it was created with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is a fantastic design that is extremely maneuverable and is super-sturdy. She also said that the swivelling bassinet base was brilliant because it let you move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to make access easier for moms who are recovering from C-sections.

Safety

A large Bedside cot (www.metooo.es)'s main safety characteristic is the fact that it can easily be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their baby to feed, comfort or change his or her nappy. This means that it's ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C-section. You should choose a design which allows you to lower the bed's side with a single button press. This will allow you to lift your child up without getting out of the bed. This is essential, especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. You should also be careful not to add anything to the cot that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, including pillows and duvets, which could cause babies to become overheated.

The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to problems with the product that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) as well as consumer misassembly, or missing parts (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at least the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However, the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses which can be converted to other types of use, such as bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses which would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby 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 it decides on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in the month of November 2021.
