The 10 Scariest Things About Best Bedside Cot For Newborn

The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside crib is a bassinet type crib that is attached to the mattress's side. This allows you to reach your baby at night to feed them without fuss. They are suitable for infants from birth until six months.

The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that babies have separate cots to their parents' beds. This will reduce the risk of SIDS. These best bedside cribs make it possible.

1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper

In the early days of co-sleeping, a novel idea, a mother-and-father team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that would let parents safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the very first cot with a bedside, allowing babies to sleep close without falling off or getting trapped in the mattress. The Clear-Vue remains in wide use in the present, with an average of 25 years and no reported deaths or injuries.

It comes with a fitted mattress and a bassinet. The bassinet is intended for newborns up to five months old or until they start pushing up on their knees and hands depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper can be purchased as a bassinet that can be used by itself or attached to the parent's mattress using the strap and plate included. It's easy to transfer between the two modes with the pull of a string but you should be aware that it doesn't meet the federal requirements for a bed that is attached, meaning your baby should never be left alone in this type of arrangement.

McKenna was impressed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility, stating that it's easy to lift infants into and out of the bassinet for middle-of-the-night feedings or other care needs away from your bed. He also praised the safety of the Co-Sleeper and said that it is in compliance with all crib and baby bassinet standards. It's been in the market for a long time and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" with no reports of infant deaths or injuries.

In our tests, the Clear-Vue was the simplest to reach of the cots for bedside use we test. The swiveling sleeping area and adjustable height of the Clear-Vue made it easy for you to reach your child and comfort them. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls which require you to stand or crouch down to retrieve your baby.

The Clear-Vue was the only one in our top five that wasn't attached to the parent's bed. However, it was a close runner-up and far superior to a few of the other models we evaluated that were made to be connected to parent beds. It is strong, solid feel, and lots of storage space.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is the sole bedside cot that is able to rotate 360 degrees to bring baby close and make it easier for parents to get in and out of the bed.

You can choose to go at a slow or a lively pace. The sliding feature can be locked after your baby has fallen asleep.

The only drawback to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for newborns which means you'll need to upgrade to a larger cot once your baby is six months old (usually around the time they move into their own bedroom). Roanna found it to be a fantastic cotbed though and would certainly recommend it.
