The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside cot used crib is a bassinet type crib that is attached to the side of your mattress. This allows you to get your baby to sleep for a relaxed feeding. They're suitable from birth to about six months.

The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that infants have separate cots to their parents bed. This reduces the risk of SIDS. The best cribs for beds allow for this.

1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper

Arm's Reach was founded by two fathers and mothers when co-sleeping wasn't a common practice. They created a design that would allow parents to rest in a safe environment with their infants. It was the very first cot with a bedside, allowing babies to sleep close without falling off or getting trapped in the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in wide use in the present, with a 25-year history and no reported injuries or deaths.

It comes with a fitted mattress and the bassinet. The bassinet is designed for babies up to five months old or until they start pushing up on their hands and knees depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper is available as a bassinet which can be used by itself or affixed to the parent's mattress with the included strap and plate. The Co-Sleeper is simple to switch between the two modes by pulling a string. However it doesn't meet federal standards for an attached bed. Therefore, your baby should not be left alone.

McKenna was awed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility, noting that it's easy to get the baby in and out of the bassinet during mid-night feedings or other needs from your bed. He also praised its safety, stating that the Co-Sleeper meets 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 that we tested. The swiveling sleeping space and adjustable height of Clear-Vue made it easier for you to reach your child and soothe them. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls which require you to kneel or reach down to retrieve your baby.

The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top picks that doesn't connect to a parent's bed, but it was close to being better than other beds we tried that were intended to be connected to a bed for parents. It is sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is one of the few bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees which brings baby closer, making it easier for parents to access and exit. It also features a lowering wall that allows moms to take care of their babies without needing to leave the bed. This is a great feature for nursing mothers who need assistance with feeding their newborns in the early weeks and month after delivery.

The Bassinest has mesh walls on the sides that allow plenty of airflow, and the Swivel feature is perfect for parents who want to keep an eye on their baby throughout the night. The ability to watch the baby and keep them in close proximity can make a huge difference during the exhaustion that comes with new parenthood.

The Bassinest model received excellent scores in the Convenience assessment which evaluates features that make it simple to clean and use. It is essential for anyone who is dealing with diaper blowouts and spit-ups that are all too common in the first months of life. The Bassinest is lightweight and is easy to wipe down with water, and the mattress pad is washable as well. It has a side pouch for items like diapers and nipple lotion, which you'll need during the sleepless beginnings of motherhood.

There are a variety of versions of the Bassinest, including the less expensive standard Essentia version that doesn't come with any additional features, and a more luxurious LUXE PLUS series that includes white noise and vibration to help babies fall and sleep. Both models include a mattress pad, fitted sheet, and a large storage caddy that is larger than the storage bags on other Bassinest models.

The LUXE PLUS series also includes the option of lowering the wall lock as well as a sturdy and stable base that can be adjusted to fit most beds between 22" to 34" and a floor light which helps you see your newborn during the day and a storage caddy that can store any additional bedding or items. The weight and size of this item make it unsuitable for travel, however its swivel feature is ideal to keep your baby safe at home.

3. Joie Roomie Glide

The design is designed to make bonding between parents a dream, this co-sleeper by English brand Joie is more than just a bedside cot bed 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. Feed, soothe or snuggle your baby in the peace of your own bed and take pleasure in every second of the baby stage.

The Joie Roomie Glide Cot is easy to clean and use. It's ideal for parents who wish to sleep together with their newborn. Its cocoon-like shape with rounded edges with softly padded sides and double mesh windows let you observe your baby's sleep from your bed or sofa. The side panel that slides can be raised and lowered by one hand. This makes it easier to respond to late-night wakeup calls. The gentle motion will gently ease your child into an unwinding sleep to ensure you get a good night of sleep.

The crib is fitted with an adjustable, washable mattress. It's also light and sturdy. It has four lockable wheels to help keep it in its place. It's also covered with a rubber-coated material to protect floor scratches.

One of the best bedside cot for newborn features about the Roomie Glide is its adjustable height - you can adjust the legs to match the height of your sofa or bed, ensuring that it stays in perfect alignment with your baby's mattress. This is particularly useful for breastfeeding mothers as it lets you feed your baby close without having to leave your bed. The height also helps reduce the risk of your baby falling out of the crib.

A built-in rocking function is another handy feature that's ideal for babies. Two buttons on the sides of the crib activate a gentle rocking motion that is soothing and comforting for your baby. You can select either a slow or active tempo. The glide function can be locked once your baby is fast asleep.

The only drawback to the Roomie Glide cot is that it is only suitable for infants. It is recommended to upgrade your baby to a larger crib when he/she is six months old (normally at the time they move into their own room). Roanna found it to be an excellent cot and would certainly recommend it.

4. Bjorn Cradle

The Bjorn Cradle is a great option for parents who are looking for a simple, stylish bedside crib and travel cot cot.

It is vital to note that the cradle should not be used in conjunction with any other padding or mattress, pillow, bedding, or comforter, since this could create the risk of suffocation for infants.

To lower the risk of SIDS, it's important to have secure sleeping habits throughout all sleeping areas. It is essential to put your baby on its back during every nap, and in the cradle.
