Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots, also referred to as bassinets and co-sleepers, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their infants at night without the risk of SIDS. However, they are only recommended for use up to 6 months, when your baby is required to be moved into a cot or a moses basket. Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, was awed by the feature that this model comes with an adjustable bassinet that can be used all around the house. It also comes with the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to put together and came with its own bag for easy storage. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only intended for children who are the age of three. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from – standard and large – both of which can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed. Selecting the larger one is a good idea for children who want to sleep in it until they reach +/– three. MFM mom home test Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was a little bigger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. She claims that it is easy to get the baby into and out of the cot for night feeds or for soothing and that it's quality is better than other cots she has seen that are flimsy. Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi Lora can be used in a variety of ways it's a drop-off bassinet that you can move around the house, and it rocks too. It also comes with a reflux incline and a machine washable breathable liner. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means you don't need to buy an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here's the perfect mattress for your cot. Height When selecting a bedside crib pick one that can be adjusted to the ideal height for you. It should also be able to be dropped down so that you can lift your baby closer to you for night feeds or for soothing. This feature is particularly useful when you're recovering from a C-section. For example the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to an elevation of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm, and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm. You should also think about how low you'd like the base of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their children out of standard Moses baskets at the smallest level, some mothers prefer an elevated base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option and one of our mom test subjects saying that it comes with a simple collapsible part that you can use at the push of one button. Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used in the event that your baby can hold his head without assistance, which is typically around 6 months. This is due to the danger of being suffocated. You should also be aware that when your child is old enough to be able to convert a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot you will have to remove the sides as soon as they are ready to do this. This will stop them from climbing out or falling out of bed. Design There are a variety of cribs for beds that range from basic to lavish. The more expensive options could include features such as a built-in nightlight and a calming centre which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels of vibration to help soothe your baby to sleep, or even a swivelling base that makes it easier to get your baby's food in the right place. You may also find some models which can be made into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to transition to a bigger bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your baby and move them to the opposite side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require the bed for extended durations of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying it was simple to use and made her baby much easier – especially after her c-section. Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking feature. It's bigger than other cribs we've tested, but it folds into its bag for travel, making it relatively compact when it's not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester, also praised the bedside crib's functionality. She said it was designed for parents and babies. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. Its swivelling base is fantastic because it allows you to move the bassinet from side to side, and one of its sides can be lowered down to ease access especially for mothers who are recovering from c-sections,' she said. Safety The most important security aspect of a large bedside cot is that it is able to be raised or lowered to enable parents to reach their baby when they need to feed them, soothe them, or change their nappies. This is why it's perfect for mothers who still recovering from a C section. It is recommended to choose the design that lets you lower the sides of the bed with a simple button press. This will allow you to easily lift your child without having to get out of bed. This is essential, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. Do not add anything that may increase the chance of suffocation or injury, such as duvets and pillowcases, which can cause your baby to overheat. The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents). In its NPR in its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. However the CPSC determined that these requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between a bedside sleeper and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers which can be converted to different modes like play yards and bassinets. Several commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets using a removable attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the item is not being used as the bassinet. The CPSC is reviewing these comments and others received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule, which is expected to be released in November 2021.
