The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside crib with changing table crib is a bassinet-style cot that can be attached to the bed's side which makes it easy to reach your baby for fuss-free night feeding. They are suitable for infants from birth until six months.

Official safe sleeping guidance from both the NHS and The Lullaby Trust recommends newborns sleep in a separate cot from parents' beds to lower the chance of SIDS. These best bedside cots allow this.

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

Co-sleeping was a new idea, a mother-and-father team formed Arm's Reach and came up with a design that allowed parents to comfortably sleep with their infants. It was the very first bedside crib vs cot cot that allowed babies to sleep together without falling over or suffocating the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years, and there haven't been any reported deaths or injuries.

It is equipped with leg extensions to adjust for different mattress heights. It also comes with sheets and a fitted cover. The bassinet is designed for infants from five to six months or until they begin pushing up on their knees and hands depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper is able to be used as a stand-alone, standalone bassinet or it can attach to the bed of the parent using the strap that comes with it and plate. The Co-Sleeper is easy to switch between these two modes by pulling a string. However it doesn't conform to federal standards as an attached bed. Therefore, your child should not be left alone.

McKenna was also impressed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She said it is simple to lift your child in and out of the bassinet from the comfort of your bed for feedings during the night or for other requirements. He also praised the security of the Co-Sleeper and said that it is in compliance with all crib and baby bassinet standards. It's been on the market for a long time and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" with no reported infant accidents or deaths.

In our tests, the Clear-Vue was the simplest to access of the cots with bedside tables we examined. Its swiveling bed 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 kneel or reach down to retrieve your baby.

The Clear-Vue was the only model in our top five that didn't connect to the bed of the parent. However, it was a close runner-up and was far superior to some of the beds we evaluated that were made to be attached to parental beds. It's sturdy and sturdy and has plenty of storage.

The only downside of the Roomie Glide cot is that it is only suitable for infants. You'll need to upgrade your baby's cot to a larger crib when he/she turns six months (normally at the time they move into their new room). Roanna thought it was an excellent cot bed and would certainly recommend it.
