The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside crib is a bassinet-style crib that attaches to the mattress's side. This makes it simple to reach your baby during the night for a fuss-free feeding. They're suitable from birth to about six months. Official safe sleeping guidelines from both the NHS and The Lullaby Trust recommends newborns sleep in a separate crib from parents' beds to lower the risk of SIDS. The best bedside cots make this possible. 1. Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper and Clear-Vue Co-sleeping was a new idea, a father and son team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that allowed parents to comfortably sleep with their infants. It was the very first cot for bedside that allowed babies to sleep close without falling over or suffocating the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for more than 25 years and there have never been any reported fatalities or injuries. It has built-in leg extensions to adjust for different mattress sizes and comes with sheets and a fitted cover. The bassinet is suitable for infants up to five months old or until they start climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper can be purchased as a bassinet which can be used on its own or affixed to the parent's mattress with the strap and plate included. It's easy to transfer between the two modes with a simple pull of a string, but you should be aware that it does not meet the federal requirements for an attached bed which means your child should never be left unattended in this arrangement of sleeping. McKenna was also awed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She said it is easy to lift your baby into and out of the bassinet from the cozy bed to feed them during the night or other care requirements. He also praised its safety, stating that the Co-Sleeper meets all crib and bassinet standards and has been available for decades, with “probably 1.5 million units sold” and no reports of infants being injured or killed. In our tests, the Clear-Vue was the most easy to get into of the cots for bedside use we test. Its swiveling sleep area and adjustable height made it easier to get in and comfort your baby. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls which require you to stand or crouch down to grab your baby. The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top picks that doesn't attach to a bed for a parent, however, it was a close second and far superior to other models that were meant to be connected to a parental bed. It's sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage space. 2. HALO Bassinest The HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is a unique bedside cot that is able to rotate 360 degrees to ensure that baby is close and makes it easier for parents to get in and out of bed. It also has a lower wall that allows moms to care for their babies without having to get out of bed. This is a fantastic feature for nursing mothers who require assistance with feeding their babies in clusters in the first weeks and month after delivery. The Bassinest has mesh walls on the sides which allow for plenty of airflow. The swing feature is ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on their child throughout the night. Being close to the baby and easily visible can make all the difference in the tired motherhood jitters especially during late-night nursing sessions. The model scored highly in the Convenience Assessment, which evaluates features to make it easy-to-use and clean. This is a necessity for those who have to deal with spit ups and diaper blowouts during the first few weeks of life. The Bassinest is easily cleaned with water and is a light weight. The mattress pad can also be washed. It also has an accessory pouch that is handy for storing items such as diapers and nipple cream which are always needed during the sleep-deprived first days of motherhood. There are many models of the Bassinest which include the less expensive standard Essentia version that does not have any additional features, and the more luxurious LUXE PLUS series that comes with white noise and vibration to help babies fall and remain asleep. Both models come with a fitted sheet, a mattress pad, and a storage bag that's larger than the other Bassinest models. The LUXE Plus series has an lowering-wall lock, a stable and sturdy base that adjusts to most beds between 22” and 34” and the floor lamp lets you see your baby throughout the day, and a movable storage bag that can store additional bedding or other items. It's not suitable for travel due to the weight and size, however the swivel function is great for keeping baby near while you're at home. 3. Joie Roomie Glide This co-sleeper by English brand Joie was created to create bonding between parents and babies a dream. It is more than just a crib. It allows you to sleep next to your child, without sharing your bed. You can feed, soothe or snuggle your baby from the peace of your bed. Enjoy every moment of the newborn phase. The Joie Roomie Glide Cot is simple to use and clean. It's ideal for parents who wish to sleep in a safe environment with their newborn. Its cocoon-shaped, rounded design with softly side panels that are padded and a double mesh windows allow you to watch your baby's sleep from the comfort of your bed or sofa. The sliding side panel lifts and lowers with one hand, making it easier to respond to those late night wake-up calls. The gliding motion gently soothes your baby into a peaceful slumber to ensure you get a restful night's sleep as well. The crib comes with a washable, fitted mattress that can be removed to make cleaning easier and a lightweight yet sturdy aluminium frame that allows for easy movement. It has four lockable wheels to keep it secure in place and is covered with a rubber-coated fabric to avoid floor scratches. One of the best things that is unique to the Roomie Glide is its adjustable height. You can adjust the legs to match the height of your bed or sofa, so it stays in perfect alignment with your baby's mattress. This is especially helpful when you're breastfeeding since it allows you to feed your baby close without having to leave your bed. The height also helps reduce the chance of your child falling out of the crib. A built-in rocking function is a useful feature ideal for newborns. Two buttons on the crib's side activate a gentle rocking movement that is soothing and relaxing for babies. You can select an easy or a lively tempo and the gliding feature can be turned off when your baby is asleep. The only issue with the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for infants which means you'll need to upgrade to a full-size cot when your baby is six months old (usually around when they move into their own room). Roanna found it to be an excellent cotbed and would highly recommend it. 4. Bjorn Cradle The Bjorn Cradle is a great choice for parents looking for a simple, stylish bedside cot.
