A Small Bedside Cot That Attaches to Your Adult Bed

A crib for bed allows you to keep your baby close during the night without having to get out of bed. The breathable fabric allows you to see your baby easily and they are easy to lower when you need a 3am feed.

They can also be used as a moses basket too.

What is a bedside cot?

A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a baby crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your newborn to sleep comfortably next to you. This is a type of co-sleeping that is safe and doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) similar to bedsharing and can help you bond with your baby's new arrival.

These cots have one side that can be adjusted so that you can reach your baby easily at night to soothe and feed them. This is particularly helpful for mothers who are recovering from a csection. Many of them are foldable or portable which means you can use them for trips and as an interim solution for infants that aren't yet ready to be able to transition into a crib that is large enough.

Look for a crib with a mattress that is breathable, as well as an extra-safe cover that will shield your baby from stains. It is also advisable to buy baby-safe items such as a blanket, a teether and a cuddly toy.

If you are seeking a long-term solution cribs are available with conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a toddler bed or cot when the time is appropriate. This is a great way to extend their life span and making the transition easier. Some have a removable top section that can be converted into an infant bed, and some can be used on an ordinary or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families who plan on frequently traveling or transferring between bedrooms throughout the night. It is also important to consider the size of your bedroom to ensure that you can squeeze the crib comfortably. A lot of cribs have an adjustable riser that can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.

The Joie Roomie Glide

The Roomie Glide, a bedside rocking crib crib from the English brand Joie is a wonderful addition to their range of high-quality baby products. The co-sleeper was created to allow parents to bond and sleep side-by-side with their babies without sharing the same bed. It's loaded with features that make bonding between parent and baby secure, easy and enjoyable.

A smooth, steady rocking motion could be activated by pressing a button. This will help soothe your baby to sleep with a gentle beat that doesn't disrupt their normal sleeping pattern. This is great for toddlers and older infants who struggle to settle and can aid in digestive issues like reflux and colic.

The crib can be locked in its place after the rocking has been completed to stop it from moving and can also be secured to the bed's side with a strap and clip attachment. This makes the crib solid and secure, allowing you to sleep comfortably without fearing that your baby will roll off into the middle. The rounded shape of the cocoon has soft padding on the sides and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while keeping your baby safe.

The mattress is firm and comfortable and has a removable cover. The crib is easy to put together and take down thanks to the lightweight aluminum frame that makes it very mobile. The four locking wheels are covered in rubber to ensure 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 bag for travel, which makes it ideal for extended time away from home.

The TuttiBambini CoZee Air

Created to be a safe next-to-me crib from birth to six months old, this premium model has rocking bars and castors to allow for easy mobility. The airflow mattresses are deluxe and provide a comfortable sleeping surface, while ventilation panels help keep your baby cool. There are 6 different height settings including an incline setting that can aid with congestion and reflux.

The Tutti Bambini COZee air crib has a removable fabric and wipe-clean lining. This makes it much easier to clean than some bedside cot co sleeper cribs that can be a mess to clean. Plus, it has a top bar that can be easily lowered for nighttime feeds without needing to search for zips in the dark.

Anna discovered that the CoZee could be a safe and cozy sleeping place for her baby. She was delighted that it didn't sway like other models, meaning it wasn't waking her in the night when she was trying to soothe her baby during feedings. She also loved that the sides of the chair lowered so she didn't need to reach over her partner to lift the child out to feed them at night.

The CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a chic accessory to any bedroom. It's more stylish than other cribs we've seen, which are often quite utilitarian. It's also quite lightweight at just 11kg and comes with a carry-on case that allows you to take it with you on vacation or even when you move house. It's all you need to buy is a waterproof sheet and a safety strap for sleeping together. The instructions and pictures are simple to follow once you open the box.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora

The Iora is a bassinet designed for infants designed to make parents feel more connected to their baby while they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and shifted through three different positions for sliding to fit under the parent's bed or in the corner so that the baby is always in reach. The breathable mesh siding allows air to flow through and lets you glance at your child. And you can store more pajamas and other supplies in the large storage basket under.

As opposed to other bedside crib with wheels cribs Iora is a standout among other bedside cribs. Iora can be folded flat and comes with a bag for travel to allow it to be taken wherever. Our mum testers were able to move it from room to room and believed that it was a suitable size for a small bedside cot, and not too big or small. The large storage basket is great for storing extra bedding or nappies.

This is an excellent choice for parents who are looking to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but don't want to share their beds, or whose partners might have mobility issues, like arthritis or back pain. Our mum testers love the fact that they can easily access their child in the Iora and that it has an optional reflux incline to help alleviate gas.

Our mothers appreciate the fact that it meets NICE guidelines which state that you should place the infant in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets, pillows, etc). They also say that the mattress is firm and comfortable for babies and is easy to find sheets for. It isn't as light as the other cribs for bedside crib travel cot use, though, so if you want something lighter and easier to move around with, consider one of the other options in our list.
