The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside cot is a bassinet-style crib that fixes to the side of your bed which makes it easy to reach baby for fuss-free night feeding. These are suitable for infants from birth to six months. The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that babies sleep in separate cots from their parents in their beds. This will reduce the chance of SIDS. The best bedside cots make this possible. 1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper Co-sleeping was a new idea, a mother-and-father team founded Arm's Reach and came up with a design that allowed parents to safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the first cot with a bedside, allowing babies to sleep close without falling or suffocating into the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years and there have never been any reported injuries or fatalities. It comes with leg extensions built-in to adjust for different mattress heights and includes sheets and a fitted cover. The bassinet is meant for newborns up to five months old or until they start pushing up on their knees and hands, whichever occurs first. The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone bassinet or it can be attached to the parent's bed with the strap that comes with it and plate. The Co-Sleeper is easy to switch between both modes by pulling strings. However it doesn't meet federal standards as an attached bed. Therefore, your baby should not be left unattended. McKenna was awed by the Co-Sleeper's ease of use, noting that it's easy to lift a baby into and out of the bassinet for mid-night feedings or other requirements from your bed. He also praised its security and said that the Co-Sleeper is compliant with all crib and bassinet standards and is available for a long time with “probably 1.5 million units sold” and no reported incidents of infants dying or being injured. The Clear-Vue bedside crib was the most accessible of all the cots we evaluated. Its swiveling bed and adjustable height made it easier to reach into and soothe your baby. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls, which require you to crouch or reach down to grab your baby. The Clear-Vue was the only one in our top five that didn't connect to the parent's bed. It was a close second and far superior to a few of those we evaluated that were made to be affixed to parent beds. It is sturdy and solid feel, and lots of storage space. 2. HALO Bassinest The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the only bedside cot that rotates 360 degrees which brings baby closer, making it easier for parents to get in and out. It also has a lower wall that allows moms to tend to their babies without stepping out of bed.

It also comes with an accessory pouch which is ideal to store things like diapers and nipple cream which are essential during those sleep-deprived early days of motherhood. There are a variety of variations of the Bassinest that are available, including the less expensive standard Essentia version that doesn't come with any extra features and a more extravagant LUXE PLUS series that comes with white noise and vibrating to help babies fall asleep and sleep. bedside crib that turns into cot include mattresses, a fitted sheet, and a large storage caddy that's more spacious than the storage bags on other Bassinest models. The LUXE PLUS series also includes the option of lowering the wall lock, a sturdy and stable base that can be adjusted to fit most beds between 22” to 34” and a floor light that helps you observe your baby during the day, and a removable storage caddy that can be used to store additional bedding or other items. It's not ideal for travel due the weight and size, however the swivel function is ideal for keeping baby near while you're at home. 3. Joie Roomie Glide This co-sleeper from English brand Joie was created to create bonding between parents and babies a dream. It is more than just a crib.

The adjustable height of the Roomie Glide is among its most useful features. You can alter the legs so that they are perfectly aligned with the mattress of your baby.

The only drawback to the Roomie Glide cot is that it is only suitable for newborns.
