Will Best Bedside Cot For Newborn Always Rule The World

The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside cot is a bassinet-style crib that can be attached to the side of your bed which makes it easy to reach baby to feed them without fuss. They're suitable from birth to around six months.

Official safe sleeping guidance from both the NHS and The Lullaby Trust recommends newborns sleep in a separate crib from parents' beds to lower the chance of SIDS. These best bedside travel crib cots allow this.

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

Arm's Reach was founded by a father and mother team at a time when co-sleeping wasn't an everyday practice. They designed a design that would allow parents to rest comfortably with their infants. It was the first cot for bedside that allowed babies to sleep together without falling over or suffocating the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years and there have never been any reported deaths or injuries.

It has built-in leg extensions to adjust for different mattress heights. It also comes with sheets and a fitted cover. The bassinet is designed for babies up to five months old or until they begin pushing up on their knees and hands depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper is available as a bassinet that can be used as a stand-alone unit or can be attached to the mattress of the parent using the strap and plate included. The Co-Sleeper is simple to switch between the two modes by pulling a string. However it doesn't conform to federal standards as an attached bed. Therefore, your baby is not safe to leave unattended.

McKenna was also awed by the Co-Sleeper’s accessibility. She noted that it is easy to get your baby in and out of the bassinet from the cozy bed for feedings at night or for other requirements. He also praised the security of the Co-Sleeper and said that it meets all crib and baby bassinet standards. It has been on the marketplace for decades and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" with no reported infant deaths or injuries.

In our tests during our tests, the Clear-Vue was the most easy to access of all the bedside crib travel cots we test. The swiveling sleep area and the adjustable height of the Clear-Vue made it easy for you to reach your child and provide comfort. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls, which require you to crouch or reach down to grab 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 those we evaluated that were made to be connected to parent beds. It is sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage space.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is one of the few bedside crib that turns into cot cot that rotates 360 degrees, bringing baby closer and making it easier for parents get in and out. It also features a lower wall that lets moms take care of their babies without stepping out of bed. A huge benefit for nursing mothers who require help with their infants in cluster feeding during the early weeks and months after delivery.

The Bassinest has mesh walls on the sides that allow plenty of airflow, and the swing feature is ideal for parents who want to watch their baby throughout the night. Having the baby nearby and easily visible can make all the difference in the anxiety of being a new parent, especially during those late-night nursing sessions.

This model scored excellent scores in the Convenience assessment which rated features that make it easy to use and clean--a necessity for anyone who has to deal with diaper blowouts and spit-ups which are all too frequent in the early months of life. The Bassinest is light and is easy to wipe down with water and the mattress pad can be washed as well. It has a side pouch for diapers and nipple lotion which you'll require during those sleepless early days of motherhood.

There are several variations of the Bassinest, including the less expensive standard Essentia version that doesn't come with any extra features and the more extravagant LUXE PLUS series that includes white noise and vibration to help babies fall asleep and sleep. Both models include mattresses, a fitted sheet, and a huge storage caddy that's more spacious than the storage bags on other Bassinest models.

The LUXE PLUS series also has a lowering wall lock as well as a sturdy and stable base that can be adjusted to fit most beds between 22" to 34", a floor light that helps you see your newborn during the day, and a removable storage caddy that can store additional bedding or other items. The size and weight of this product make it unsuitable for travel, however its swivel feature is ideal to keep your baby safe at home.

3. Joie Roomie Glide

This co-sleeper by English brand Joie was designed to create parent-baby bonds a dream. It's more than just a crib. With a single-hand slide and sliding side panel that lets you sleep safely next to your baby without sharing your own bed. Sooth, feed or cuddle your baby from the comfort of your own slumber and take in every moment of the infant stage.

The Joie Roomie Glide Cot is easy to use and clean. It's ideal for parents who want to sleep together with their baby. Its rounded cocoon-shaped design with softly padded side panels and double mesh windows allow you to watch your baby's sleep from the comfort of your sofa or bed. The side panel that slides up and lowers with just one hand, making it much easier to answer those late night wakeup calls. The gliding motion gently eases your child into a restful sleep so you can enjoy a restful night's sleep as well.

The crib comes with a washable, fitted mattress that's removable for easy cleaning, and an aluminum, lightweight but sturdy frame that allows for easy movement. It has four lockable wheels to ensure it stays in place and is covered with a rubber-coated fabric to avoid scratches to the floor.

One of the best things that is unique to the Roomie Glide is its adjustable height. You can adjust the legs to meet the height of your own couch or bed, so that it's in perfect alignment with your newborn's mattress. This is especially useful for breastfeeding mothers since you can feed your baby without having to leave your bed. The height can also reduce the risk of your baby falling out of the crib.

A built-in rocking function is a useful feature ideal for newborns. Two buttons on the crib's side enable a gentle rocking sound that is soothing and comforting for babies. You can select a leisurely or lively tempo and the gliding feature can be turned off after your baby has fallen asleep.

The only drawback to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for infants which means you'll need to upgrade to a full-size cot when your baby is six months old (usually around the time they move into their own space). Roanna found it to be a fantastic cotbed and would recommend it.
