A bedside crib vs cot crib is a bassinet style that fixes to the side of your bed which makes it easy to reach baby for a relaxed night's feeding. They are suitable for infants from birth to six months.

The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that infants have separate cots to their parents bed. This will lower the chance of SIDS. The best bedside cot for newborn bedside cots make this possible.

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

Arm's Reach was founded by a mother and father team at a time when co-sleeping wasn't the norm. They designed a design that allowed parents to sleep safely with their newborns. It was the very first bedside crib co sleeper cot that allowed babies to sleep in close proximity without falling off or getting trapped in the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in wide use today, with an average of 25 years and no reported deaths or injuries.

It comes with a fitted mattress and a bassinet. The bassinet can be used for babies up to five months old or until they start pushing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper is able to be used as a stand-alone, standalone bassinet or it can be attached to the parent's bed with the attached strap and plate. It's simple to switch between the two modes using just a pulling of a string but you should be aware that it does not meet the federal standards for a bed that is attached, meaning your baby should never be left unattended in this arrangement of sleeping.

McKenna was also impressed with the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She noted that it is easy 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 meets all crib and bassinet standards and has been available for decades, with "probably 1.5 million units sold" and no reported incidents of infants dying or being injured.

The Clear-Vue bedside cot was the most accessible of the cots we tried. Its swiveling bed and height adjustment allowed you to easily reach into your child's room and provide comfort. 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 choices that doesn't have a connection to a parent's bed, but it came in an impressive second place and superior to other models that were meant to be attached to a bed that parents sleep in. It is strong, solid feel, and lots of storage space.
