What is a bedside cot?
A bedside crib (also known as bassinet or co-sleeper) is a baby crib that can be attached to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep safely next to you. This is a safe form of co-sleeping that doesn't increase your risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It can also help you bond with your newborn baby.
They have an end that can be adjusted so that you can reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is especially useful for mothers who are recovering from an op. best bedside cots of them are foldable or portable, so you can take them on your travels and use them as a temporary sleep solution for infants who aren't ready to transition to a full-sized cot.
When you are looking for a bedside crib, look for a model with a breathable mattress and a protective cover to shield your baby from staining. You might also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as a blanket or teether.
If you're looking for a more long-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that allow you to turn them into a cot, or a toddler bed when the time comes. This is great for extending their life span and making the transition more seamless. Some even have a detachable top section that converts into a bassinet, and some can be used on either the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families who plan on traveling frequently or switching rooms during the night. Consider the dimensions of your bedroom to ensure that you fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with a riser which can be used to create an incline for babies with reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide
The Roomie Glide, a bedside crib from the English brand Joie, is a great addition to their range of high-quality baby products. This crib was designed to help parents bond and sleep side-by-side with their babies, without sharing one bed. It is full of features that make bonding between parents and baby safe, simple and enjoyable.
A smooth rocking motion can be initiated by pressing a button. This gentle rhythm can help to soothe your baby without disturbing their natural sleeping patterns. This is perfect for toddlers or older babies who have difficulty settling down. It can also assist with digestive issues such as reflux and colic.
The crib can be locked in its place after the rocking has been done to stop it moving. It can also be secured on the side of your bed using a strap and clip attachment. This makes it stable and secure allowing you to get a good night's rest without having to worry about your little one sliding off into the middle of the room. The round shape of the cocoon has soft padding on the sides and double mesh windows at both ends. This allows for airflow while keeping your baby safe.
The mattress is comfortable and firm and has an easily removable cover. The lightweight aluminium frame makes the crib extremely lightweight and easy to set up. The four wheels that lock are covered with rubber to ensure that the crib doesn't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. It is easy to clean with fabric wipes and is simple to tote in a travel bag making it ideal for extended time away from home.
The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air
Created to be a safe crib for babies from birth to six months old, this top model has rocking bars and castors that allow for ease of movement. The airflow mattresses are deluxe and provide a comfortable sleeping surface, while the ventilation panels keep your baby cool. There are six different height settings, including an incline setting to aid with congestion and reflux.
Contrary to some cribs that are placed on the bed that can be a challenge to clean due to their constant stream of dribble and snot and snot, the Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir comes with a wipe-clean liner and fabric that can be washed in the machine. It also has an upper bar that can be easily adjusted to feed at night without having to fumble with zips in the dark.
Anna discovered the CoZee to be a safe and cozy sleeping place for her infant. She liked that it didn't move like other models, so she wasn't disturbed in the night trying to soothe her baby during feedings. She also enjoyed the fact that the side could be lowered so she didn't need to reach over her partner to lift the baby out to feed her at night.
The CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a fashionable option for any bedroom. It's more modern than other cribs we've seen, which are often quite utilitarian. It's also light at just 11kg. It also comes with a carry-on case so you can bring it with you on vacation or when you are moving home. The only extras you need to buy are a waterproof sheet and a co-sleeping safety strap. There are helpful step-by-step instructions and illustrations to help you put it together as you open the box which makes it a one-person job if needed.
The Maxi-Cosi lora
The Iora is an infant bassinet designed to help parents feel connected with their baby while they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and shifted through three different slide positions to fit under the bed of the parent or in the corner so that the baby is always in reach. The mesh siding allows air to circulate through, allowing you to see your baby easily. You can also keep extra pajamas or supplies in the large basket beneath.
As opposed to other bedside cribs, the Iora folds flat and comes with a travel bag which allows it to be carried anywhere. It was easy to move from room to room, and our mom testers thought it was the right size for a bedside crib. The large storage basket is perfect to store bedding and nappies.
This is a great option for parents looking to co-sleep, but don't wish to share their beds or whose partners may be suffering from mobility issues, such as arthritis or back pain. Our mum testers were thrilled to be able to easily access their baby in the Iora and that it had an option to have a reflux incline which helped alleviate gas.
Our moms also love the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines, which are to place the baby in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets pillows, etc.). They also say that the mattress is firm and comfortable for the baby and easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as some of the cribs that are smaller on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier for you to move around, consider a different alternative.
