Height When you are choosing a cot for your bed be sure to choose one that can be raised to a height that's comfortable for you to feed your babies. It should also be able to be dropped down out of the way to allow you to lift your baby up towards you for night feeds or soothing.

The NPR of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents); consumer misassembly or missing parts (6 incidents) and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance, these products would have to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are trapped between a bedside rail and an adult bed. The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes such as play yards and bassinets. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets through the use of a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as an actual bassinet. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule which is expected to come out in November 2021.
