Bedside cots, also referred as bassinets and co-sleepers, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their children at night without the danger of SIDS. However, they are only suggested for use until 6 months when your baby will need to move into a cot or moses basket.
MFM home tester Mehack was impressed that this model has a lift-off bassinet you can use in the home and an option to rock manually. It was also easy to put together and came in its own travel bag for convenient storage.
Size
Cots and cot beds vary in size, with cots being smaller than cot beds. They also can be converted into toddler beds, whereas cot beds are generally only used for up to three years. older. There are two sizes of wooden cots, large and standard - which can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. If you wish for your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in a larger cot, it's a great option to select the larger size.
MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly larger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. Jasmine says it's easy to get the baby in and out of the cot during night feedings or soothing and that the quality is better than other cots she has seen that are cheap and flimsy.
Another home test subject, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi Lora can be used in a variety of ways It's a bassinet that lifts off that can be moved around the home, and it's a blast too. It also has an incline of reflux as well as a machine washable liner that breathes. And it was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for Best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. Contrary to some International or European cot brands, the Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't have to buy a new mattress as your baby grows. However, it does require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here.
Height
When choosing a bedside cot, look for one that can be raised up to a level that is comfortable for you to feed your the baby. It also needs to be able to be dropped down out of the way to allow you to lift your baby closer to you for night feeds or soothing. This feature is especially helpful when you're recovering from an operation such as 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.
You should also think about the level you would like the bottom of your crib to be. While some moms find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets at the lowest height, other mums prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our mom testers mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It is a collapsible side which you can use to press of a button.
Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used when your baby can hold his head up without assistance, which is usually at around 6 months. This is due to the danger of being suffocated. It's also important to note that if you choose a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can convert into a cot, you will need to start removing the sides when your child is able to do 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 that range from basic to extravagant. Some of the more extravagant options include features like an inbuilt light, a soothing center which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep. Another option is a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child in order to feed them. Certain models can be converted into an infant bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed.
For example, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your baby and move them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get out of bed. This makes it perfect for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require a the bed for extended durations of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying it was easy to use and made reaching her baby much easier particularly after her c-section.
Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the category of Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also is equipped with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking bedside crib feature. It's a bit larger than the other cribs for bed we've tried, but it folds flat into its travel cot bedside crib bag so it's quite compact when not in use.
MFM mum home test Leya also liked the functionality of this crib for bed, explaining how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing because it lets you move the bassinet from side-to-side and one of its sides can be let down to facilitate access especially for new mothers who are recovering from their C-sections', she said.
Safety
A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is that it can be easily adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort them, or change his or his or her nappies. This is why it's perfect for mothers who are still recovering from a C section. Find a model that lets you lower one side with the press of a button so you can easily lift your baby without having to get out of bed. This is particularly crucial as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation such as pillowcases and duvets, which can cause your baby to overheat.
The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues, such as gaps between the bedside crib with changing table sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents).
In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are trapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed.
A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR included multi-use 4-in-1 bedside crib beds which can be converted to other types of equipment, like bassinets or play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multi-use bedside sleepers that would allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that is removable and can be connected permanently or disconnected when the item is not being used as an actual bassinet.
The CPSC is reviewing these comments and others 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.
