A newborn bedside co sleeper cot crib is a tiny sleeping device that allows babies to sleep in the same room as their parents without the risks of co-sleeping. (The AAP warns against this because of the dangers of SIDS and inhalation.) It makes it easier to take care of your baby and nurse them throughout the night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one of our top picks. It was shortlisted in the Best Cot category for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards. MFM home tester Emily said she was impressed by how chic and modern the design is and she was impressed by the feature that you can use it as a regular bassinet, or clip it to a bed for safe side-by-side sleeping. She also admired the soft mattress that has passed our test for firmness, and the fact that it has an automatic rocking feature that can be set to a slight tilt for reflux sufferers.

However, she wasn't a fan of the feature of a non-mesh panel at its bottom and felt it was a bit bulky to move from room room regularly. It also felt a little heavy to carry up and down the stairs, especially when folded into a travel bag.
