Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However they are typically used for children up to the age of three. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes available - standard and large - both of which can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed. Selecting the larger of the two is a good idea for children who want to sleep in it until they reach +/- three.

Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, was pleased the fact that it was a little bigger than the typical Moses basket, but not too large for the baby bedside cot's room. Jasmine says it's easy to get the baby into and out of the cot during evening feedings or to soothe and that the quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are less sturdy.

Height

When selecting a cot for the bed be sure to choose one that can be elevated to a height that is comfortable for you to feed your baby. It should also be able to be lowered to the ground so that you can pull your baby towards you for night feeds or for soothing. This is especially useful if you're recovering from an operation such as a C-section. For instance the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to a height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm, and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm.

You should also think about how low you would like the bottom of your crib to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their infants from their standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest level, while some prefer a higher height to provide them with more stability. One of our mum testers said that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It comes with an easy-to-fold side that you can push at the press of a button.

Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device is only suitable until your baby can hold their head without assistance generally approximately 6 months. This is because of the risk of suffocation. It is also important to be aware that if your child is old enough to convert the bedside sleeper into a cot, they will need to remove the sides once they are ready to do so. This will stop them from climbing out or falling out of the bed.

Design

There are many styles of cribs for bedside use, ranging from basic to lavish. Some of the most extravagant options include features such as an inbuilt light, a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep. Another option is a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child to feed them. Some models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed.

For instance the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to take your baby and move them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get up. This is great for new mothers recovering from Caesareans, or those who need to stay in bed for prolonged periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mom who tried this product at home, said that it was simple to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby - especially after the c-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the Best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It has a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's a bit larger than some of the other cribs that we've looked at, 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 crib for bed, explaining how it was designed with parents and babies in mind. It is easy to move and super-sturdy. Its swivelling base is brilliant as it means you can move the bassinet from side-to-side and one of its sides can be opened down to facilitate access especially for new mothers who are recovering from C-sections,' she added.

Safety

The main safety feature of a large bedside crib and cot cot is that it is able to be raised or lowered to enable parents to reach their baby when they need to feed, comfort them or change their nappy. This is why it's perfect for mothers who are still recovering from a C-section. Choose a model that lets you lower one side with the push of a button so you can effortlessly lift your baby without having to get out of bed. This is particularly important as your baby grows older and more mobile. You should also not add anything to the cot that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, such as pillows and duvets. These could cause babies to become overheated.

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

In its NPR, the CPSC looked into 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 the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements weren't efficient or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants are entrapped by the bedside rail as well as an adult bed.

The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that can be converted to different modes like bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses which would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. The attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is currently reviewing the comments and other suggestions received in response to the NPR regarding bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
