The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside crib is a bassinet-style cot that is attached to the side of your bed, making it easy to reach baby for a relaxed night's feeding. They are suitable from birth until approximately six months. The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that newborns have separate cots to their parents bed. This will reduce the chance of SIDS. The best cribs for beds allow for this. 1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper Arm's Reach was founded by a father and mother team when co-sleeping wasn't the norm. They designed a design that would allow parents to rest comfortably with their infants. It was the first bedside cot that allowed babies to sleep in close proximity without falling off or getting trapped in the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in widespread use in the present, with over 25 years of history and no reported deaths or injuries. It comes with a fitted sheet and the bassinet. The bassinet can be used for infants up to five months old, or until they begin pushing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper is available as a bassinet that can be used as a stand-alone unit or attached to the parent's mattress with the strap and plate that come with it. The Co-Sleeper is simple to switch between these two modes by pulling a string. However, it does not meet federal standards for an attached bed. Therefore, your child is not safe to leave unattended. McKenna was also impressed with the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She noted that it is simple to lift your baby into and out of the bassinet from the comfort of your bed for feedings at night or for other requirements. He also praised its security, saying the Co-Sleeper is compliant with all standards for bassinets and cribs and is available for a long time with “probably 1.5 million units sold” and no reports of infant deaths or injuries. The Clear-Vue bedside cot was the most accessible of all the cots that we evaluated. Its swiveling sleep area and height adjustment allowed you to easily reach into your child's room and provide comfort. Other models had lower sidewalls that required you to reach over and over or bend down to get your child however not the Clear-Vue. The Clear-Vue was the only model in our top five that didn't attach to the parent's bed. However, it was a close runner-up and was far superior to some of those we tested, which were designed to be affixed to parent beds. It has a sturdy, solid feel, and lots of storage space. 2. HALO Bassinest The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the sole bedside cot to rotate 360 degrees which brings baby closer, making it easier for parents get in and out. It also has a lowering wall which allows moms to take care of their infants without having to get out of the bed. This is an excellent feature for nursing mothers who need assistance with their cluster-feeding newborns during the first few months after birth. The Bassinest features mesh side walls to allow airflow as well as a swivel function for parents who want to monitor the baby throughout the night. Being close to the baby and easily accessible can make all the difference in the tired delirium of new parenthood especially during late-night nursing sessions. This model scored top marks in the Convenience assessment, which rates features that make it simple to use and clean—a necessity for anyone who has to deal with spit-ups and diaper blowouts that are all too common in the first few months of life. The Bassinest can be cleaned easily with water and is a light weight. The mattress pad is also washable. It has a side pouch for diapers and nipple lotion which you will need during the sleepless beginnings of motherhood. There are a variety of models of the Bassinest. Cots For Tots is the standard Essentia model, which is without extra features. There is also the LUXE Plus series, which has white noise and vibrating to help babies fall asleep and remain asleep. Both models include a fitted sheet, a mattress pad, and a storage bag that's larger than the other Bassinest models. The LUXE Plus series includes a lowering-wall lock, a stable and sturdy base that can be adjusted for most beds between 22” and 34”, an adjustable floor lamp that lets you see your baby throughout the day, and a removable storage bag that can be used to store extra bedding or supplies. The size and weight of this item make it unsuitable for travel however its swivel feature is perfect to keep your baby safe at home. 3. Joie Roomie Glide Created to make bonding between parents and babies an ideal experience this co-sleeper from English brand Joie is much more than just a bedside crib. It lets you snuggle with your child without sharing the bed. You can feed, soothe or hug your baby right from the comfort of your own slumber and take in every moment of the newborn stage. The Joie Roomie Glide Cot is easy to use and clean. It's ideal for parents who want to sleep together with their newborn. Its cocoon-like rounded shape with softly padded sides, as well as double mesh windows let you monitor your sleeping baby from your own couch or bed. The sliding side panel can be adjusted and lowered by one hand. This makes it easier to answer those late-night wakeup call. The gliding motion will also gently ease your child into an unwinding sleep to ensure you get the rest of your night. The crib has an washable, fitted mattress that can be removed for easy cleaning and an aluminum, lightweight but sturdy frame for ease of movement. It comes with four locking wheels to hold it in place and is covered in a rubbery fabric to protect the floor. One of the best things that is unique to the Roomie Glide is its adjustable height. You can adjust the legs to fit the height of your couch or bed, so that it is in perfect alignment with your baby's mattress. This is particularly helpful when you're breastfeeding since it allows you to feed your baby close by without leaving your bed. The height helps reduce the chance of your child falling out of the crib. Another useful feature is the built-in rocking mechanism that's ideal for newborns. Two buttons located on the sides of the crib will trigger a gentle rocking motion that is relaxing and soothing for your baby. You can select a slow or a lively pace. The sliding feature can be locked after your baby is asleep. The only drawback to the Roomie Glide cot is that it is only suitable for infants. You'll need to upgrade your baby to a full size crib when he/she is six months old (normally at the time they move into their new room). Roanna found it to be a fantastic cotbed though and would certainly recommend it. 4. Bjorn Cradle The Bjorn Cradle makes a great choice for parents looking for a chic, simple bedside cot.
