The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside crib is a bassinet type crib that is attached to the mattress's side. This allows you to reach your baby at night to feed them without fuss. These are suitable for infants from birth up to six months old.

The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that infants sleep in separate cots from their parents in their beds. This reduces the risk of SIDS. These best bedside crib with changing table cots make this possible.

1. Arm's Reach Cosleeper with Clear-Vue

Arm's Reach was founded by a father and mother team at a time when co-sleeping wasn't a common practice. They designed a design that would allow parents to rest safely with their newborns. It was the first cot with a bedside crib travel, allowing babies to sleep in close proximity without falling or suffocating into the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for over 25 years, and there haven't been any reported injuries or fatalities.

It has built-in leg extensions to adjust to different mattress heights and includes a sheet and fitted cover. The bassinet is suitable 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 be affixed to the bed of the parent using the attached strap and plate. The Co-Sleeper is simple to switch between the two modes by pulling a string. However it doesn't meet federal standards for an attached bed. Therefore, your child is not safe to leave unattended.

McKenna was also impressed with the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She said it is easy to get your baby in and out of the bassinet from the comfortable bed for feedings during the night or for other needs. He also praised its safety and said that the Co-Sleeper is compliant with all crib and bassinet standards and has been available for decades, with "probably 1.5 million units sold" and no reports of infant deaths or injuries.

In our tests during our tests, the Clear-Vue was the easiest to get into of all the bedside cots we examined. Its swiveling sleep area and adjustable height allowed you to easily reach in and comfort your baby. Other models had lower sidewalls, which required you to reach 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, however, it was close to being superior to other models that were intended to be attached to a bed for parents. It's sturdy and sturdy, with plenty of storage space.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is one of the few bedside cot newborn cot that rotates 360 degrees, bringing baby closer and making it easier for parents to to get in and out.

Both models come with a mattress pad, fitted sheet, and a huge storage caddy that is more spacious than the storage pouches on other Bassinest alternatives.

You can choose between either a slow or energetic tempo, and the gliding function can be locked when your baby is asleep.

The only downside to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for newborns, so you'll need to upgrade to a full-size cot once your baby is six months old (usually around the time they move into their own space). Roanna found it to be a fantastic cotbed and would highly recommend it.
