Size

Cots are smaller than cots. They also can be converted into toddler beds, whereas the cot beds are typically used up to three years older.

If you'd like your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a bigger cot, it's a good idea to choose the larger size.

Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be raised to a height that is comfortable for you when feeding babies. It also needs to be able of being dropped down out of the way so that you can lift your baby closer to you during night feedings or soothing.

Another thing to think about is how low you want the base of your cot to be.

It is also important to be aware that when your child is old enough to be able to convert an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot, you will need to remove the sides once they are able to do so. This will stop them from getting out or falling out of bed.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety feature is that it is able to be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort them, or change his or his or her diaper.

The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside crib with wheels sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements to newborn bedside cot sleepers. For instance they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at least the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. However, the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents in which infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that could be converted into other modes such as bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative option for multiuse bedside sleepers to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets by using a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as an actual bassinet.

The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when voting on the final rule that is expected to be published in November 2021.
