A bedside crib is a bassinet style crib that is attached to the mattress's side. This allows you to reach your baby at night for a relaxed feeding. 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 crib from parents' beds to reduce the risk of SIDS. The best bedside cots can help.

1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper

Co-sleeping was a new concept, a father-and-son team founded Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that would let parents be able to sleep comfortably with their infants. bedside cosleeper cotsfortots was the first bedside cot that allowed infants to sleep close without being suffocated or falling into the mattress or onto the parent's side of the bed. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years and there have never been any reported fatalities or injuries.

It comes with leg extensions built-in to adjust for different mattress sizes and comes with an upholstered cover and sheet. The bassinet is designed for babies up to five months old or until they begin pushing up on their hands and knees or bending their knees, whichever comes first. The Co-Sleeper can be purchased as a bassinet which can be used on its own or affixed to the parent's mattress with the included strap and plate. It's easy to switch between the two modes with the pull of a string, but be aware that it does not meet the federal standards for an attached bed which means your child shouldn't be left unattended in this sleeping arrangement.

He also praised its safety and said that the Co-Sleeper meets 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 infants being injured or killed.

In our tests during our tests, the Clear-Vue was the simplest to reach of all the bedside cots we test. The swiveling sleeping area and the adjustable height of the Clear-Vue helped you to reach your baby and comfort them. Other models had lower sidewalls, which required you to reach over or crouch down to get your child but not the Clear-Vue.

The Clear-Vue was the only model in our top five that didn't attach to the bed of the parent. However, it was a close runner-up and far superior to a few of the other models we evaluated that were made to be connected to parent beds. It is sturdy and solid and has plenty of storage.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the sole bedside cot to rotate 360 degrees, bringing baby closer and making it easier for parents to access and exit.

The only issue with the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for newborns which means you'll need to upgrade to a bigger cot once your baby turns six months old (usually around when they move into their own room). Roanna found it to be a fantastic cotbed and would recommend it.
