MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model features an adjustable bassinet that you can use around the house and an option to rock manually. It was simple to put together and came with its own travel bag.

Size

Cots and cots differ in size and size, with cots being a bit smaller than cot beds. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However cots are generally used by children up to the age of three. There are two sizes of wooden cots - large and standard, which can be transformed into a toddler bed or a cot. Selecting the larger one is a good choice when you want your child to sleep in it until the age of at least three years old.

MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was a little bigger than a Moses basket but not too large for her baby's room. It's easy to lift her baby in and out for feeding or soothing and that the quality is great in comparison to other cots she's seen that are flimsy.

Emily is another home-based tester, is thrilled by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora which is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also rocks. It also comes with an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category.

Height

When choosing a bedside cot choose one that can be raised up to a level that is comfortable for feeding your baby. It must also be lower away from the way, so you can raise your child towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This feature is especially helpful if you're 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.

It is also important to consider how low you would like the base of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their children out of standard Moses baskets when they are at the lowest level, some mothers prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option and one of our mum test subjects saying that it comes with a simple collapsible part that you can press down at the touch of one button.

Remember that a bassinet/bedside crib that turns into cot sleeping device is only suitable in the event that your baby can hold his head up with no assistance, which is usually about 6 months old. This is due to the danger of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to note that if you select a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can convert into a cot it is necessary to begin removing the sides once your child is ready for this to ensure that they don't climb out or get out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of styles of cribs for beds with a range of styles from simple to luxurious. The more luxurious options may include features such as a built-in nightlight, a soothing centre that plays sounds and music and comes with two levels of vibrating to help soothe your baby to sleep, or a swivelling base that allows you to get your baby's food in the right place. You may also find some models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to transition 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 features a swivelling bottom 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 is ideal for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require the bed for extended durations of time. 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.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's larger than other cribs for bed that we've tested, but it folds down into its travel bedside crib bag to make it a small bedside cot size when not in use.

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she appreciated the bedside crib's function. She said it was designed for parents and babies. It has a great design that is very maneuverable and is super-sturdy. Its swivelling base is brilliant because it allows you to move the bassinet side to side, and one of its sides can be lowered down to facilitate access especially for new mothers who are recovering from their C-sections', she said.

Safety

The most important safety aspect of a large bedside cot is that it can be easily moved up or down to allow parents to reach their child when they require to feed them, comfort them or change their nappy. This means that it's ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C-section. Look for a design that allows you to lower one side at the press of a button, so you can effortlessly lift your baby without needing to get out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, like duvets and pillows that can cause your baby to become overheated.

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

In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For example the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC found, however that these requirements were not feasible or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are trapped between the bedside rail as well as an adult bed.

Many of the incidents reported in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted into different types of furniture, like play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use bedside sleepers that would enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets using a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when it decides on the final rule which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
