What is a bedside cot?

A bedside crib that turns into cot crib (also known as a bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small baby cot that attaches to your adult bed, allowing your baby to sleep safely next to you. It's a method of co-sleeping that is safe and does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing and can help you bond with your new arrival.

They usually come with a side that can be adjusted so that you can easily reach your baby during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly useful for mothers who are recovering from a csection. Many of them are foldable or portable so you can use them for travel and as an interim solution for babies who aren't ready to transition to a larger crib.

Choose a crib that has a mattress that is breathable, as well as an extra-safe cover that will keep your baby bedside sleeper safe from stains. You may also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as the blanket or teether.

If you're looking for a more long-term solution, some cribs come with conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a toddler bed or cot when the time is appropriate. This is a great option for extending their lifespan and making the transition smoother. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be converted into a bassinet. Some can be used in conjunction with a regular adult bed or a high-rise one. This is an excellent choice for families who intend to travel frequently or change between bedrooms in the evening. You should also consider the size of your room to ensure that you can squeeze the crib in comfortably. A lot of cribs have a riser which can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.

The Joie Roomie Glide

The Roomie Glide, a bedside crib from the English brand Joie is a fantastic addition to their range of high-quality products for babies. Designed to help parents bond with their babies whilst sleeping together without sharing a bed. This co-sleeper comes with features that make parent-baby bonding safe, easy and fun.

A gentle rocking motion can be activated by pressing the button. This can soothe baby into sleep by a gentle rhythm that doesn't disrupt their natural sleeping routine. This is great for toddlers and older infants who struggle to settle and can help with digestive issues like colic and reflux.

The crib can be locked in it once the rocking is completed to stop it from moving. It can also be secured on the bed's side with a strap and clip attachment. This makes the crib stable and secure and allows you to sleep soundly without worrying that your baby will roll off into the middle. The cocoon's rounded shape is complemented by softly padding on the sides and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while keeping your baby safe.

The included mattress is comfortable and firm. It also is covered in a washable material. The crib is easy to set up and disassemble thanks to the lightweight aluminum frame that makes it very mobile. The four wheels that lock are rubber-covered to ensure that the crib won't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. It is easy to clean with cloths that wipe clean and is easy to put in a backpack, making it perfect for overnight absences from home.

The airflow mattress is a premium model that provides an ideal sleeping surface and ventilation panels ensure your baby is kept cool. There are six different height settings including an incline setting to aid with congestion and reflux.

The Tutti Bambini COZee Air crib comes with a removable fabric and a wipe-clean lining. This makes it much easier to clean than other bedside cribs that can be messy to clean. It also has a top bar that can be easily lowered to accommodate nighttime feedings without having to mess with zips.

Anna discovered that the CoZee could provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep for her infant. She liked that it didn't move like other models, which meant she wasn't woken up in the night trying to comfort her child for feedings. She also liked that the side of the chair lowered so she didn't have to reach over her partner to lift the child to feed them at night.

The CoZee is available in charcoal and oak and was a stylish addition to the bedroom. It looks more like an elegant piece of furniture than some of the other cribs that we've tested, which can appear quite utilitarian. It is also relatively lightweight at just 11kg and comes with a carry case that allows you to take it on holiday or when moving house. The only additional items you'll have to purchase are a fitted waterproof sheet and a safety strap for co-sleeping. There are step-by-step directions and illustrations to help you put it together when first opening the box, making it a single-person job when needed.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is a bassinet for infants designed to help parents feel connected with their baby while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down and moved to three different slide positions to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner so that the baby is always at hand. The breathable mesh siding allows air to flow through, and lets you glance at your child. And you can stow extra pajamas and supplies in the large storage basket beneath.

The Iora is a smaller bedside crib that folds flat. It also comes with a travel case so it can be carried anywhere. It was easy to move around from room to space, and our mum testers believed it was the right size for a bedside crib vs cot crib. They also appreciated the large storage basket perfect for storing spare bedding or nappies.

This is a great option for parents who are looking to co-sleep but do not want to share their own beds or whose partner may be prone to mobility issues, such as arthritis or back issues. Our mum testers were thrilled to be able to easily access their child in the Iora and that it had an option to have a reflux incline which helped to reduce gas.

Our moms appreciate that the mattress follows NICE guidelines. These are to place the baby in a Moses basket or crib on its own without toys, blankets, pillows etc. The mattress is also sturdy and comfortable for babies and sheets are easy to find. It's not as light as other smaller cribs on our list, so if prefer something lighter and easier to move, you can choose another option.
