Height

When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be raised to a level that is comfortable for feeding your baby.

Safety

This means that it's ideal for mothers who are still recovering from a C-section. It is recommended to choose a design which lets you lower the side of the bed with a simple button press. This will allow you to easily raise your child without having to get out of the bed. This is essential, especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile.

The NPR of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents) and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these beds meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are entrapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed.

Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that can be converted to different modes like bassinets and play yards. Many commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently fixed or removed when the item is not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will be examining these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
