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

Co-sleeping was a new idea, a father and son team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that allowed parents to be able to sleep comfortably with their infants. It was the very first cot for bedside that allowed babies to sleep together without falling off or getting trapped in the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years, and there haven't been any reported fatalities or injuries.

It includes a fitted sheet and an infant bassinet. The bassinet is intended for babies up to five months or until they begin pushing up on their hands and knees depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone bassinet, or it can be affixed to the bed of the parent using the included attachment strap and plate. It's easy to switch between the two modes by the pull of a string however, you must be aware that it doesn't meet the federal standards for an attached bed so your child should never be left alone in this sleeping arrangement.

McKenna was also impressed with the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She noted that it is easy to lift your baby in and out of the bassinet from the cozy bed to feed them during the night or for other needs. He also praised the security of the Co-Sleeper, saying that it meets all requirements for a baby's crib and bassinet. It's been in the market for a long time and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" with no reports of infant injuries or deaths.

The Clear-Vue bedside cot was the most accessible of the cots we evaluated. The swiveling sleep area and adjustable height of the Clear-Vue made it easier for you to reach your child and comfort them. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls, which require you to kneel or reach down to grab your baby.

The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top choices that doesn't have a connection to a parent's bed, however, it was close to being better than some we tested that were intended to be connected to a parental bed. It's sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage space.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is the only bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees to keep baby close and makes it simpler for parents to get in and out of bed.

The only drawback to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for infants, so you'll need to upgrade to a bigger cot when your baby is six months old (usually around when they move into their own space). Roanna found it to be a fantastic cotbed though and would definitely recommend it.
