bedside crib and travel cot Baby Beds

Baby bedside cribs let parents keep their infant close at night without compromising on safety. They are designed to be used by newborns up until 4-6 months.

The Halo Bassinest is a swivel that can be swivel over the bed of with the ability to be lowered so that parents can pick up their infant during feeding times at night. The base is not suitable under beds lower than 4.5" high.

Safety features

A crib that is placed at the bedside allows parents to watch, comfort and feed their infants at night without having to leave their bed. This type of arrangement is ideal for mothers who are recovering from childbirth, or with limited mobility and may help parents stay well-rested throughout the night. However, it is important to look at safety features before buying a bedside crib.

The main safety issue with this type of sleep surface is that it's not an entirely secure barrier between the bed of the parent and the baby's sleeping space and can result in gaps that could cause suffocation risks to young infants. In addition sharing the bed with an infant can increase the body heat of the parents and raises the chance of overheating which could lead to SIDS.

While some manufacturers claim that bedside co-sleepers have a higher safety rating than traditional cribs, these devices aren't subject to the CPSC's safety standards. These products may have slats that permit a baby's head or legs to be snagged and their attachment mechanisms may be unstable and lead to separation.

Many of these surfaces also have loose bedding, which can lead to suffocation. Babies lack the muscle or coordination to free themselves from entanglement in soft bedding and the gaps between the frame and the mattress can cause a danger of suffocation. Some of these items have a hard base that could cause injury to a baby should they fall upon it. One commenter suggested that the CPSC include pictograms as warnings for these products. This will decrease the likelihood that caregivers are unaware of key components. Moreover, bedside sleepers must have an easy transition mechanism to prevent the baby from slipping off the bed of their parents.

Bedding

A bedside crib (also called a co-sleeper or bassinet) allows infants to sleep in their parents' beds while still occupying a separate space. This type of safe co-sleeping reduces the risks of suffocation, entrapment, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping babies close to their parents and within arm's reach for feedings during the night or for comforting.

Baby bedding for a bedside sleeper could include crib sheets, blankets, bumpers, and toys. Make sure that any bedding you use is appropriate for the bedside sleeper to avoid bulges and pockets that could obstruct the baby's breathing. Also, ensure that the mattress you buy for your bedside sleeper is firm and fits snugly without gaps around the edges.

When selecting bedding sets, look for one that is easy to wash and dry so that you can keep it clean when your child is having accidents or spits up at night. Consider an item for travel to make it easier to pack and unpack your bedside sleeping set when you're to a vacation destination or visiting your grandparents.

Once your infant outgrows their bedside sleeper, you can transition them to a standalone toddler or a crib. When transitioning, be sure to remove the crib from the bed of the parent for several months or even weeks so that your child can get used to sleeping in their own space, while still feeling connected to their parents. Select a crib which can be folded to be stored and transported. Some cribs can even be converted into an outdoor play area or a deeper bassinet. This makes them a great option for parents with young children who are keen to travel.

Tilt function

A bedside sleeper is a bassinet that is attached to the side of a bed for adults and has one side higher than the other and allows parents to reach out to take care of their child throughout the night. It could have tilt features that help reduce reflux in babies. Some parents report that this feature helps their children sleep better. It is important to remember that a slanted, or elevated, sleeping surface may stimulate your baby's chin into a the chest position. This could result in suffocation and should be avoided.

A suitable mattress is also crucial in deciding on the crib for your child's bed. It should be flat, firm and airy. The size should match the dimensions of the crib and be able to fit in the frame. It is recommended to purchase a new mattress for the crib since a second-hand one could increase the chance of SIDS. Some retailers offer mattresses made specifically for specific bed frames, so it is best to choose those if you can.

Some cribs for bedside use are designed to fit under your bed to save space and keep your baby close, like the Halo BassiNest. However, some beds are too low for this kind of crib. The BassiNest's legs that are splayed make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds. It isn't easy to place the BassiNest in divans, which could cause it to move or move out of alignment with your mattress.

Other bassinets for bedside use, like the Ingenuity Sleep & Grow Bedside Crib, can be positioned on top of your mattress, however, they aren't able to tilt. CHOICE suggests that parents only use these beds when they have a solid air-conditioned bed. The tilt of a bassinet could cause your child to roll into a dangerous position, increasing the danger of suffocation.

Foot-to-foot position

A bedside baby bedside cot bed also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet, is a compact crib that is attached to the side of a bed for an adult. It allows parents to reach their child at any time at night. They are usually larger than standard cots or bassinets. Some have a lower side that forms a short barrier between the sleep spaces. These beds are made from sturdy materials, and many have wheels that make them easier to move around the home.

Some cribs for bedside use tilt functions, which can help children with digestive issues such as reflux or colic. However, it's important to make use of this feature with utmost care and at a slight angle to avoid suffocation. If you're unsure about whether to utilize this feature, speak to your physician or health professional for advice.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing a crib for a bedside is the mattress. The mattress should be smooth, firm and breathable to reduce the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too soft could cause obstruction of the airway in newborns, which is dangerous. A mattress that is breathable will ensure that your baby stays cool during the night, which can decrease the chance of overheating.

It is recommended that you place your baby in a safe sleeping space such as crib, cot or Moses basket. While it might seem appealing to sleep with your baby in a bed, it poses a serious risk of SIDS. It's best to wait until your baby is old enough to sleep independently before you attempt to co-sleep. If you have to ensure that your bedroom is not smoky to protect your baby from second-hand smoke. If you're on a lower income, you may be eligible for assistance with a bassinet or a crib from Plunket.

Second-hand cribs

Parents who want to save money might be tempted by a used crib, bassinet, or cradle that they receive from a relative or friend. But, cribs are among of the leading causes of death due to nursery products especially if they have missing or damaged parts or wider spaces between slats (which can create suffocation hazards). In addition, older mattresses may create dips and other conditions that could pose danger to your baby. If your crib is old enough to predate current safety regulations it may be contaminated by lead paint and may contain other toxic chemicals.

Verify if the crib has been recalled. Check if the crib was painted with water-based, as this is safer for babies. Also, ensure that the mattress is sturdy and snugly fits. Mattresses that are soft can cause infants to slip off, and they also pose a suffocation risk.

In addition to cribs, pay special attention to any used bassinets, cradles and play yards. All of them should be JPMA-certified, and free of sharp edges that could hurt or poke your baby. Avoid putting blankets, pillows or toys to these items, which can become dangerous entrapment risks.

Children have died in cribs that were altered or interfered with. Most of these accidents occurred when parents or caregivers tried to make the cribs functional or more attractive by adding or altering items. Since 1973, the crib manufacturers and the CPSC have worked together to establish standards that are mandatory for safer cribs, addressing things like side height, slat spacing, corner posts, mattress fit and cutouts on end panels. In the last few years the number of deaths attributed to cribs has decreased from 150 to 200 a year to 50.
