The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside crib is a bassinet type crib that is attached to the side of your mattress. This makes it simple to get your baby to sleep to feed them without fuss. They are suitable for infants from birth until six months old. Official safe sleeping guidelines from both the NHS and The Lullaby Trust recommends newborns sleep in a separate crib from parents' beds to reduce the chance of SIDS. The best cots for bedside use can help. 1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper Co-sleeping was a new concept, a father-and-son team formed Arm's Reach and came up with a design that would let parents safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the first bedside cot that allows babies to sleep near without being suffocated or falling into the mattress or onto the parent's side of the bed. Clear-Vue has been in use for more than 25 years and has never been any reported fatalities or injuries. It is equipped with leg extensions to allow for different mattress sizes and comes with an upholstered cover and sheet. The bassinet is designed for infants from five to six months old or until they start pushing up on their hands and knees depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper is able to be used as a stand-alone, standalone bassinet or it can be attached to the parent's bed with the strap that comes with it and plate. The Co-Sleeper is simple to switch between both modes by pulling a string. However it doesn't meet federal standards for an attached bed. Therefore, bedside cot 6 months plus should not be left unattended. McKenna was impressed with the Co-Sleeper's ease of use, noting that it's easy to lift a baby into and out of the bassinet during middle-of-the-night feedings or other care requirements from your bed. He also praised its security and said that the Co-Sleeper is compliant with all crib and bassinet standards and has been available for decades with “probably 1.5 million units sold” and no reports of infants dying or being injured. The Clear-Vue bedside crib was the most accessible of all the cots that we tested. The swiveling sleep area and adjustable height of the Clear-Vue made it easier for you to reach your child and comfort them. Other models had lower sidewalls that required you to reach over and over or crouch down to retrieve your child but not the Clear-Vue. The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top picks that doesn't connect to a bed for a parent, but it was an impressive second place and better than some we tested that were meant to be attached to a bed for parents. It's sturdy and sturdy, with plenty of storage space. 2. HALO bedside crib and cot Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the sole bedside cot to rotate 360 degrees, bringing baby closer and making it easier for parents to access and exit. It also has a lowering wall that lets moms tend to their babies without having to get out of bed. This is a huge benefit for nursing mothers who need help tending to their newborns who are feeding in clusters in the first few months and weeks following delivery. The Bassinest has mesh sides that allow airflow as well as an swivel feature for parents who wish to keep an eye on the baby throughout the night. Having the baby nearby and easily accessible can make all the difference in the tired anxiety of being a new parent especially during late-night nursing sessions. This model scored high in the Convenience Assessment, which evaluates features that make it easy to use and clean. This is a must for those who have to deal with spit ups and diaper blowouts during the first few weeks of life. The Bassinest can be cleaned easily with water and is lightweight. The mattress pad is also washable. It also has an additional pouch on the side which is ideal for storing items such as diapers and nipple cream which are essential during the sleep-deprived first days of motherhood. There are several different models of the Bassinest. One is the standard Essentia that comes with no additional features. There is also the LUXE Plus series, which has white noise and vibrations to aid babies in falling asleep and stay asleep. Both models include a fitted sheet, mattress pad and a large storage bag that is bigger than those on other Bassinest options. The LUXE PLUS series also comes with the option of lowering the wall lock as well as a sturdy and stable base that adjusts to fit most beds from 22” to 34” and a floor light that allows you to see your newborn throughout the day and a storage caddy that can hold additional bedding or other items. The weight and size of this product make it unsuitable for travel, however its swivel feature is perfect to keep your baby close at home. 3. Joie Roomie Glide Designed to make parent-baby bonding an absolute pleasure, this co-sleeper by English brand Joie is much more than just a bedside crib. With a single-hand glide as well as a sliding side panels, it helps you to sleep in a safe place with your baby without sharing your own bed. You can feed, soothe or cuddle your baby in the comfortable bed. Enjoy every minute of the newborn phase. Joie Roomie Glide is a simple to use and easy to clean cot that is a great choice for new parents seeking a safe method to co-sleep with their newborn. Its rounded cocoon-shaped design, soft padded side panels and double mesh windows allow you to watch your baby's sleep from your sofa or bed. The sliding side panel can be lifted and lowers with just one hand, making it easier to answer those late night wakeup calls. Additionally, the gentle motion gently soothes your child into a restful sleep so you can enjoy a restful night's sleep as well. The crib comes with an washable, fitted mattress that can be removed for easy cleaning and an aluminum, lightweight but sturdy frame for ease of movement. It has four locking wheels to keep it in place, and it's covered in a rubbery fabric to protect the floor. The Roomie Glide's adjustable height is among its greatest features. You can adjust the legs so that they are perfectly aligned with your baby's mattress. This is especially helpful for breastfeeding mothers as it lets you feed your baby close without having to leave your bed. The height also helps reduce the chance of your baby falling out of the crib. Another handy feature is the built-in rocking function that is perfect for babies. Two buttons on the crib's side activate a gentle rocking movement that is soothing and relaxing for babies. You can select a leisurely or energetic tempo, and the glide function can be locked once your baby is fast asleep. The only downside of the Roomie Glide cot is that it is not suitable for babies. You will need to upgrade your baby to a larger crib when he/she turns six months (normally around the time they move into their own room). Roanna found it to be a great crib and would recommend it. 4. Bjorn Cradle The Bjorn Cradle is a great option for parents who want a simple, stylish bedside cot.
