Safety A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or their diaper.

In its NPR, the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements were not efficient or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are trapped by the bedside rail as well as an adult bed. A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that could be converted into different modes like play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include a different clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. Attachments can be permanently fixed or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet. large bedside crib is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when it votes on the final rule, which is expected to come out in November 2021.
