How to choose a cot that is positioned at the bedside A bedside travel cot offers an ensconced and safe space for your baby to rest and provide them with the comfort they require during an extended journey. These are perfect for family trips, holidays and other adventures. The process of selecting the best one will depend on your individual needs. It is important to consider the type of crib you'd like along with its weight and dimensions. You'll also want to think about whether the cot can fit in your car, especially with all the other baby gear you'll have to bring along for the trip. A bedside cot must be portable and simple to set up. They're small and light which makes them ideal for travel with a baby or child. Additionally, they are quick and simple to assemble. They are typically equipped with a mattress that fits perfectly in the crib. This helps your child get a good sleep. Some of these cribs have added accessories that make them a perfect option for children and babies. For instance, some have an area for changing that is attached to the side of the cot and some have an additional bassinet for newborns. You can also find a few equipped with wheels, which makes them easier to move around the room. When selecting a bedside cot, be sure to select one that is strong enough to support your baby. This will stop it from tipping over and spilling your little one and their stuffed toys onto the floor. It's also recommended to choose a cot with mesh sides for ventilation, as this will keep your baby comfy and content. It's also a good idea to check the folding system of a travel cot prior buying it. You don't need a bed a child can open easily, as this could lead to death. The best beds have a locking system that is not able to be manipulated by the child. Certain models feature buckles to ensure safety and stability. Bassinets A bassinet or bedside cot is an infant sleep space that can be moved around that lets parents keep an eye on their newborns. They are ideal for babies from 6 months to 6 years old, and can be a huge aid during flights, since they are light, compact and take up minimal room. They can be easily stowed when not in use. Aside from the ease of storage and assembling, bassinets are designed to be safe and comfortable for babies to sleep in. Most bassinets are fitted with mesh walls that allow air to circulate and reduce the chance of suffocation. They are usually supplied with a carry bag and are made out of non-toxic materials and easy-to-clean. There are a variety of bassinet models on the market. You should pick one that is suitable for your baby's size and age. It's also a good idea to check out the reviews and specifications of the bassinet you are considering before making an investment.

Many airlines offer bassinets on long-haul flights, but this can vary depending on the type of aircraft used and seats available. For instance, Lufthansa offers bassinets on its long-haul fleet. You can reserve one upon booking for a fee. Etihad Airways also offers bassinets on its long-haul flights, for infants up to 24 pounds. bedside cot for twins can be requested at the time of booking or by using the Manage My Booking feature on the airline's website.

Drop-side cots Take a look at the options available if you're looking for a travel cot that can be used at your bedside since the time you were born. These cots for bassinets are light and come with a carrying case. They are ideal for traveling or sleeping over at friends or relatives at their homes. They also come with adjustable height settings, and some can be tilted upwards for babies who have reflux. A cot that is placed near the bed makes it easier to reach your baby if they awake during the night. This is essential for breastfeeding mothers as it will encourage more frequent and regular feedings, which is essential for a healthy milk production. Some cots have a drop-down side and some even come with an incline option, which allows you to easily get your baby up for feeding and comforting without having to get out of the bed. It's important to remember that while a bedside travel cot can be useful but it should be handled with care. Cots with moving parts such as the drop-side, should be constructed with care and checked regularly to ensure that they function correctly. Second-hand or older cots may have broken rails, loose slats or damaged filler bars which can create dangerous gaps where your child could fall or be trapped. Some cots might be older and not comply with current Australian safety standards. If you decide to purchase a second-hand cot, be sure to go to the website of the manufacturer for instructions before you begin building it. Choose a cot that is built to the latest safety standards. We recommend the Chicco Next2me side sleeping crib as a premium alternative. This cot is extremely straightforward to assemble (one of the fastest in our MFM tests) and has neat zips that ensure everything is secure. It has multiple height settings and an incline to prevent reflux, and is compact when folded for storage. Travel cots Travel cots are a great option for parents who need a safe, comfortable place to lay their child down when they're away or at home. They are easy to fold, store and set up. They're great for sleepovers and during holidays. Some models have an adjustable rocking mechanism or a changing mats to help you calm your baby down or change them prior to bedtime. If you're in the market for a new travel cot, make sure it's rated to the British Standard Institution (BSI) and designed with your baby in mind. Check the age range as some are suitable from birth (look for ones that have an integrated bassinet) up to 3 years old. One of the most important things to look for in a good travel cot is the quality of the mattress. Be sure that it is firm and padded and has an waterproof cover or mattress protector. The same goes for the base of the cot, which should be solid and have non-slip feet that prevent it from moving when used or while stored. Other features that are desirable in the travel cot are a mesh window so you can keep an eye on your child while they sleep, and bags to make travel more convenient. You can find models that are also playpen-like, or have an electronic mobile. This will keep your baby engaged and entertained.

If you're unsure of which model to buy take a look at the various options and ask parents for their recommendations. A bedside travel cot is an excellent investment that will be invaluable throughout the first few years of your child's existence.
