Safety features A bedside baby bed lets parents keep their babies close for evening feedings, comforting and monitoring, without having to leave their own bed. This arrangement of sleep is perfect for mothers who are recovering from childbirth or with limited mobility and may help parents remain more well-rested throughout the night. However, it is important to evaluate safety features before buying a bedside crib. This kind of sleeping surface presents a safety hazard because it does not provide an entirely secure barrier between the sleeping area of the parent and the infant's sleeping area. This could result in gaps that can cause dangers of suffocation to infants. In addition, sharing the bed with an infant increases the body heat of the parent and raises the chance of overheating which can contribute to SIDS. While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers are more secure than traditional cribs, these devices aren't subject to the CPSC's safety guidelines. They could have the slats which allow a baby's head or legs to become trapped, and their attachment mechanisms may be unstable, and could cause separation. Furthermore, a lot of mattress frames have loose bedding, which can cause suffocation. Babies lack the muscle or coordination to remove themselves from the tangles of soft bedding and gaps between the mattress and the frame can cause a danger of suffocation. Some of these items have a hard base that could cause injuries to a baby if they fall on it. One commenter suggested the CPSC include pictograms in warnings on these products. This will lower the risk that caregivers miss key elements. In addition, bedside cribs must have an easy transition mechanism that can prevent the baby from slipping off the bed of their parents. Bedding A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or a co-sleeper lets babies sleep beside their parents' beds, while having a separate sleeping space. This type of safe co-sleeping helps reduce the chance of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping infants close to their parents. Baby bedding for a baby who sleeps at night could include crib sheets, blankets, bumpers, and stuffed animals. Be sure that any bedding you choose to use is appropriate for the bedside sleeper to avoid pockets or bulges that might impede the baby's breathing. Also, make sure that the mattress you purchase for your bedside sleeper is firm and fits comfortably without gaps around the edges. If you're in search of bedding sets to keep your baby clean in the event that they have accidents or spit up in the night, select a set that is easy to wash and dry. Consider the possibility of a travel kit that will make it easier to pack and unpack your bedside sleeping set when you're on vacation or visiting grandparents. If your baby has outgrown the bedside sleeper you can transition him or her to a crib or toddler that is on its own. When transitioning to a crib, remove it from the bed of your parents over a period of a few weeks or even months to allow your child to learn to sleep in his own space but still feel a sense of connection to them. Select a crib which can be folded away for storage and transport. Some models can be converted into a play area or a larger bassinet. This makes them a great option for parents with young children who like to travel. Tilt function A bedside sleeper, also known as the bassinet is a bassinet that is attached to the bed's side for adults. One side is lower than the other side to enable parents to reach their baby at night. It could also have a tilt function that can help alleviate reflux in babies. Some parents have reported that this feature helps their babies sleep better.

The mattress should be the same size as the crib and fit snugly into the frame. It is recommended to purchase a new mattress for your crib, as a second-hand mattress can increase the risk of SIDS. Certain retailers sell mattresses that are designed specifically for specific bed frames so it is best to choose these if possible. Some bedside cribs are designed to fit under your bed to save space and bring your child close, like the Halo BassiNest. However some beds are too low for this kind of crib. Additionally, the BassiNest's legs that are splayed make it difficult to slide under certain beds. It is also difficult to slide it under a divan bed, which could cause it slide or sway out of alignment with the mattress. Other cribs for bedside use like the Ingenuity Dream & Grow Bedside Bassinet, can be placed beside your mattress, but they aren't in a position to tilt. CHOICE recommends parents to use these beds with a firm, breathable mattress. The tilting of a bassinet may cause your child to fall into a dangerous position, increasing their chance of dying. Foot-to-foot position A bedside crib, also called a co-sleeper or a bassinet is a crib that is attached to a side of a bed for adults. This allows parents to access their child at any time during the night. These beds are generally larger than standard cots or bassinets, and some even have a a lower side that forms an unintentional barrier between the sleep spaces. They are typically made from durable materials, and some have wheels for easy transport around the home.

It is recommended to put your baby to bed in their own safe sleeping space, such as either a crib, cot, or Moses basket. Although it may be tempting to put your child in a bed, this is a major risk of SIDS. It's best to wait until your baby is old enough to go to bed independently before attempting to co-sleep. If you have to, make sure that your bedroom is not smoke-free to protect your child from second-hand smoke. Plunket can assist with a crib or bassinet for those with a low income. Second-hand cribs Parents who are frugal may be enticed to purchase or accept a second-hand bassinet, crib or cradle for a gift from a friend or relative. Cribs are among the baby products that could cause death, especially when older cribs are damaged or missing parts, or have a wider space between the slats. Older mattresses may also develop dips and other conditions that could be hazardous for your baby. If a crib is older than current safety regulations the crib could be contaminated by lead paint and could contain other toxic chemicals. Verify whether the crib has been recalled. Check if the crib was coated with water-based paint because this is safer for infants. Ensure that the mattress is firm and that it fits comfortably. Mattresses with soft edges can cause babies to slip off and present a risk of suffocation. In addition to cribs, pay close attention to used bassinets, cradles or play yards. They must all be JPMA certified and have no sharp parts that your child could scratch or poke themselves on. Avoid adding pillows, blankets or toys to these items, which can become entrapment hazards. Infants have died in cribs that were altered or interfered with. Most of these accidents occurred when parents or caregivers tried to make the cribs more functional or more attractive by adding or altering items. Since 1973 crib makers and the CPSC collaborated to create mandatory standards for safer cribs for infants. These standards addressed things like side heights, slat spacings corner posts, mattress fits, and cutouts on end panels. As the result, deaths attributed to cribs have dropped from around 150-200 per year to less than 50.
