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

Co-sleeping was a new concept, a father-and-son team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a design that allowed parents to safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the first-ever bedside cot that allowed babies to sleep near without suffocating or falling into the mattress or on the parent's side of the bed. The Clear-Vue is still in widespread use in the present, with over 25 years of history and no reported deaths or injuries.

It comes with a fitted mattress and an infant bassinet. The bassinet can be used for babies up to five months old or until they are getting up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper is available as a bassinet which can be used by itself or attached to the parent's mattress using the included strap and plate. The Co-Sleeper is easy to switch between these two modes by pulling strings. However it doesn't meet federal standards for an attached bed. Therefore, your baby is not safe to leave unattended.

McKenna was also impressed by the Co-Sleeper's ease of use. She noted that it is simple to lift your child in and out of the bassinet from the comfort of your bed for feedings during the night or for other needs. He also praised the safety of the Co-Sleeper as it meets all requirements for a baby's crib and bassinet. It has been on the marketplace for decades and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" with no reports of infant accidents or deaths.

In our tests during our tests, the Clear-Vue was the easiest to get into of the cots for bedside cot newborn use we tested. Its swiveling bed and adjustable height made it easier to get into your child's room and provide comfort. Other models had lower-sided walls that required you to reach over or bend down to get your child however not the Clear-Vue.

The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top choices that doesn't have a connection to a bed for a parent, but it came in an impressive second place and better than some we tested that were meant to be attached to a bed for parents. It is strong, solid feel, and lots of storage space.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the only bedside crib and travel cot cot that can rotate 360 degrees, bringing baby closer and making it easier for parents access and exit. It also features a lower wall that lets moms tend to their babies without getting out of bed--a big plus for nursing mamas who need help tending to their newborns who are feeding in clusters in the early weeks and months after delivery.

The Bassinest comes with mesh sides that allow for airflow and an swivel feature for parents who wish to keep an eye on the baby throughout the night. The ability to monitor the baby and keep them in close proximity can make a huge difference during the tired delirium that comes with new parenthood.

The Bassinest model received excellent scores in the Convenience test which evaluates features that make it simple to use and clean--a necessity for anyone dealing with diaper blowouts and spit-ups that are all too common in the first few months of life. The Bassinest can be easily cleaned with water and is a light weight. The mattress pad is also washable. The bassinest also has a side pouch which is ideal to store things like diapers and nipple cream, which are always needed during those sleep-deprived early days of motherhood.

There are several different models of the Bassinest. One is the standard Essentia, which has no extra features. The other is the LUXE Plus series, which comes with white noise and vibrating to aid in assisting babies to fall asleep and stay asleep. Both models include mattresses, a fitted sheet, and a large storage caddy that's more spacious than the storage pouches on other Bassinest options.

The LUXE PLUS series also comes with a lowering wall lock, a sturdy and stable base that adjusts to fit most beds ranging from 22" to 34", a floor lamp that allows you to see your newborn throughout the day and a movable storage caddy that can be used to store additional bedding or other items. It's not ideal for travel due the size and weight, but the swivel feature is great to keep baby close while you're at home.

3. Joie Roomie Glide

This co-sleeper from English brand Joie was designed to make the bond between parents and children a reality. It's more than just a crib. It lets you snuggle with your child without sharing the bed.

Two buttons located on the sides of the crib trigger a gentle rocking motion that's soothing and comforting for your baby. You can select a slow or a lively pace. The gliding feature can be locked once your baby has fallen asleep.

The only downside of the Roomie Glide cot is that it is only suitable for newborns. You will need to upgrade your baby's bed to a full size crib when he/she is six months old (normally at the time they move into their own room). Roanna thought it was an excellent cot and would certainly recommend it.
