20 Trailblazers Lead The Way In Best Bedside Cot For Newborn

The best bedside cots Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside crib and cot crib is a bassinet style that fixes to the side of your bed, making it easy to reach baby for fuss-free night feeding. They are suitable for infants from birth to six months.

The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that newborns are kept in separate cots from their parents' beds. This reduces the chance of SIDS. These best bedside cots allow this.

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

In the early days of co-sleeping, a novel idea, a father and son team founded Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that would allow parents to safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the first cot with a bedside cot newborn, allowing babies to sleep together without falling or suffocating into the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years and has never been any reported injuries or fatalities.

It comes with a fitted sheet and a bassinet. The bassinet is suitable for babies up to five months old or until they start climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper is able to be used as a stand-alone bassinet or it can be affixed to the parent's bed with the included attachment strap and plate. It's simple to switch between the two modes using just a pull of a string but be aware that it does not meet the federal standards for an attached bed which means your child should never be left unattended in this sleeping arrangement.

McKenna was also impressed by the Co-Sleeper's ease of use. She said it is easy to get your baby into and out of the bassinet from the comfort of your bed for feedings during the night or for other requirements. He also praised its safety, saying 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 reports of infants dying or being injured.

The Clear-Vue bedside cot bed cot was the easiest to access of the cots we evaluated. Its swiveling sleeping area and height adjustment made it easier to get into and soothe your baby. Other models had lower-sided walls that required you to reach over and over or bend down to retrieve your child but not the Clear-Vue.

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

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the only bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees which brings baby closer, making it easier for parents to access and exit. It also has a lower wall that lets moms care for their babies without needing to leave their bed.

The Bassinest has mesh side walls that allow for plenty of airflow. Additionally, the swivel feature is great for parents who want to keep an eye on their baby throughout the night. The ability to see the baby and keep them close to them can make a huge difference in the grumpy delirium that is a result of becoming a parent.

The Bassinest scored well in the Convenience Assessment, which rates features that make it easy to use and clean. This is essential for those who have to contend with spit ups and diaper blowouts during the first few weeks of life. The Bassinest can be easily cleaned by water and is light. The mattress pad can also be washed. The bassinest also has an accessory pouch which is ideal to store items such as diapers and nipple cream which are essential during the sleep-deprived first days of motherhood.

There are several versions of the Bassinest, including the less expensive standard Essentia version that does not have any extra features, and a more extravagant LUXE PLUS series that comes with white noise and vibrating to help babies fall and remain asleep. Both models come with a fitted sheet, mattress pad and a large storage bag that is larger than the other Bassinest alternatives.

The LUXE PLUS series also includes a lowering wall lock that is sturdy and stable, a base that can be adjusted to fit most beds from 22" to 34" and a floor light that helps you see your newborn throughout the day and a storage caddy that can be used to store additional bedding or other items. It isn't suitable for travel due to its size and weight, but the swivel feature is great for keeping baby near while you're 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 a crib for the bed. It lets you snuggle with your child without sharing the bed.

The side panel sliding can be lowered and raised with just one hand. This makes it easy to answer late-night wakeup calls.

The Roomie Glide's adjustable height is one of its best features. You can alter the legs so that they are perfectly aligned with the mattress of your baby. This is particularly helpful when you're breastfeeding since it allows you to feed your baby close to you without leaving your bed. The height can also reduce the risk of your baby falling out of the crib.

Another handy feature is the built-in rocking feature that's ideal for newborns. Two buttons on the sides of the crib will trigger a gentle rocking motion that is soothing and comforting for your baby. You can choose a leisurely or vigorous pace, and the sliding feature can be locked after your baby is asleep.

The only drawback of the Roomie Glide cot is that it is only suitable for newborns. You will need to upgrade your baby's cot to a bigger cot once he or she turns six months (normally at the time they move into their new room). Roanna found it to be an excellent cot bed and would certainly recommend it.
