The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns
A bedside crib is a bassinet style crib that is attached to the mattress's side. This allows you to reach your baby during the night to feed them without fuss. They're suitable from birth to around six months.
Official safe sleeping guidance from both the NHS and The Lullaby Trust recommends newborns sleep in a separate cot to parents' beds to lower the chance of SIDS. These best bedside cribs allow for this.
1. Arm's Reach Cosleeper with Clear-Vue
Co-sleeping was a new idea, a mother-and-father team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that would let parents safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the first bedside cot, which allows babies to sleep near without being suffocated or falling into the mattress or on the parent's side of the bed. Clear-Vue has been in use for over 25 years and has never been any reported deaths or injuries.
It is equipped with leg extensions to adjust for different mattress heights. It also comes with sheets and a fitted cover. The bassinet is meant for infants from five to six months old or until they start pushing up on their knees and hands depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper is able to be used as a stand-alone bassinet or it can attach to the parent's bed using the strap that comes with it and plate. It is simple to switch between these two modes by pulling a string. However it is not able to conform to federal standards as an attached bed. Therefore, your baby should not be left alone.
McKenna was impressed with the Co-Sleeper's ease of use, noting that it's simple to lift a baby into and out of the bassinet for mid-night feedings or other needs from your bed. He also praised its safety and said that the Co-Sleeper is compliant with all standards for cribs and bassinets and has been on the market for decades with "probably 1.5 million units sold" and no reports of infant deaths or injuries.
The Clear-Vue bedside crib was the most accessible of the cots we tried. The swiveling sleeping area and adjustable height of the Clear-Vue helped you to reach your baby and soothe them. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls, which require you to crouch or reach down to grab your baby.
The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top choices that doesn't have a connection to a parent's bed, but it came in a close second and far better than other beds we tried that were designed to be connected to a bed that parents sleep in. It is sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage.
2. HALO Bassinest
The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the sole bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees, bringing baby closer and making it easier for parents to get in and out. It also features a lower wall that allows moms to take care of their babies without stepping out of bed. A huge benefit for nursing mothers who require help with their infants in cluster feeding in the early months and weeks following delivery.
The Bassinest comes with mesh walls on the sides to allow airflow as well as an swivel feature for parents who wish to monitor the baby throughout the night. The ability to monitor the baby and keep them close can make a huge difference in the grumpy delirium that comes with new parenthood.

This is a must for anyone who is dealing with diaper blowouts and spit-ups that are common in the first few months of life. The Bassinest is light and can be easily wiped down with water, and the mattress pad is washable as well. The bassinest also has an additional pouch on the side that is handy to store things like diapers and nipple cream which are essential in the early hours of motherhood.
There are a variety of models of the Bassinest. One is the standard Essentia, which has no additional features. The other is the LUXE Plus series, which includes white noise and vibrations that aid in assisting babies to fall asleep and stay asleep. Both models come with a mattress pad, fitted sheet, and a massive storage caddy that is larger than the storage bags on other Bassinest alternatives.
The LUXE PLUS series also includes an adjustable wall lock that lowers, a sturdy and stable base that can be adjusted to fit most beds between 22" to 34", a floor light that helps you observe your baby during the day and a storage caddy that can be used to store additional bedding or other items. The weight and size of this item make it unsuitable for travel, however its swivel feature is ideal for keeping your baby close at home.
3. Joie Roomie Glide
This co-sleeper by English brand Joie was created to create the bond between parents and children a reality. It is more than just a crib. It lets you snuggle with your child, without sharing your bed. You can feed, soothe or hug your baby right in the cozy slumber of your own and take in every moment of the baby stage.

The crib is equipped with an washable, fitted mattress that can be removed for easy cleaning, and an aluminum lightweight and sturdy frame that allows for easy movement. It has four lockable wheels to keep it secure in place, and is backed with rubber-covered fabric to prevent scratches on the floor.
The adjustable height of the Roomie Glide is among its greatest features. You can alter the legs so that they are perfectly aligned with the mattress of your baby. This is particularly useful for breastfeeding mothers because you can feed your baby without leaving your bed. The height also helps reduce the chance of your baby falling out of the crib.
Another great feature is the built-in rocking function that is perfect for babies. Two buttons on the sides of the crib will trigger a gentle rocking motion that's soothing and comforting for your baby. You can select an easy or a lively tempo and the gliding feature can be turned off after your baby has fallen asleep.
The only downside of the Roomie Glide cot is that it is only suitable for newborns. You will need to upgrade your baby to a full size cot once he or she turns six months (normally at the time they move into their own room). Roanna found it to be an excellent cotbed and would recommend it.
