Height

Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she appreciated the bedside crib's function. She said it was designed for parents and babies. It is lightweight and easy to move. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing as it means you can move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be lowered down to facilitate access - particularly for new mums who are recovering from C-sections,' she added.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it can easily be raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or their nappies. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from an C-section. Find a model that allows you to lower one side at the press of a button so you can easily lift your baby without needing to get out of the bed. This is crucial, particularly as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. You should also not add anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation, or injury, such as pillows and duvets. These can cause babies to overheat.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product that include gaps between a cheap bedside cot sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at a minimum, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements were not efficient or effective in reducing number of incidents where infants are trapped between a bedside rail and an adult bed.

Many of the reported incidents in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers that can be converted to other modes such as bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use 4-in-1 bedside crib beds to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets by using a removable attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the product is not being used as a bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these comments and others received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule, which is expected to be released in November 2021.
