You should also consider the height you would like the bottom of your crib to be. While some mums find it easier to lift their babies out of traditional Moses baskets at the smallest height, other mums prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our mum testers stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It is a collapsible side which you can use to push of one button. Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used until your baby can hold their head up without assistance typically about 6 months. This is due to the risk of suffocation. It is also important to be aware that when your child is old enough to turn a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot, you must remove the sides once they are ready to do so. This will prevent them from getting out or falling out of the bed. Design There are a variety of bedside crib that range from basic to lavish.

You may also find some models that can be transformed into the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air For instance was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category.

'It has an excellent design that is very easy to manoeuvre and it is extremely sturdy. bedside cosleeper of the bassinet is amazing because it allows you to move the bassinet from side-to-side, and one of its sides can be opened down to make access easier especially for mothers who are recovering from their C-sections,' she added.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product, such as gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However the CPSC found that these requirements would not be feasible or effective to reduce the number of incidents in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that could be converted into other modes such as bassinets and play yards. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets through the use of an attachment that can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as the bassinet. The CPSC is considering these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be released in November 2021.
