The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside crib is a bassinet style that fixes to the bed's side which makes it easy to reach baby for fuss-free night feeding. They're suitable from birth to about six months. Official safe sleeping guidance from both the NHS and The Lullaby Trust recommends newborns sleep in a separate cot to parents' beds to reduce the chance of SIDS. These best bedside cots can help. 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 a common practice. They designed a design that allowed parents to sleep in a safe environment with their infants. It was the very first cot with a bedside, allowing babies to sleep close without falling or suffocating into the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for over 25 years, and there haven't been any reported fatalities or injuries. It comes with a fitted mattress and a bassinet. The bassinet can be used for infants up to five months old or until they are climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone bassinet or it can attach to the parent's bed with the strap that comes with it and plate. It's simple to switch between the two modes using a simple pull of a string, but be aware that it doesn't meet the federal standards for an attached bed, meaning your baby shouldn't be left unattended in this sleeping arrangement. McKenna was impressed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility, noting that it's easy to lift a baby into and out of the bassinet during mid-night feedings or other requirements from your bed. He also praised its safety and said that the Co-Sleeper meets all standards for bassinets and cribs and has been available for a long time with “probably 1.5 million units sold” and no reports of infant deaths or injuries. In our tests in our tests, the Clear-Vue was the most easy to reach of the cots for bedside use we tested. The swiveling sleeping area and adjustable height of Clear-Vue made it easier for you to reach your baby and soothe them. Other models had lower sidewalls, which required you to reach over and over or bend down to retrieve your child however not the Clear-Vue. The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top picks that doesn't connect to a parent's bed, however, it was a close second and far better than other beds we tried that were meant to be attached to a parental bed. It's sturdy and solid and has plenty of storage. 2. HALO bedside crib with wheels is the sole bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees to ensure that baby is close and make it easier for parents to get out and in to bed. It also has a lowering wall that allows moms to tend to their infants without stepping out of bed.
