nr. 7 best baby bed attached to parents bed – tall beds

co sleeper for tall beds or boxspring

Babybay bedside sleeper

Check price and specifications 

Many cosleepers come with clamps to attach the co sleeper to the master bed but in case of a boxspring clamps won’t work. In this case you have to be sure that the cosleeper can be attached to your boxspring by using fastening straps.

In case other co sleepers aren’t high enough for your bed I think the Babybay cosleeper will be great for you.

This awesome baby co sleeper is one of the best sleeping beds. The baby co sleeper attaches to bed, is assembled in less than 15 minutes and is very popular, also in Europe. The bassinet conversion guardrail turns it into a bassinet. To use it as a co sleeper all you need is to purchase your preferred mattress and sheets.

Details about this best co sleeper for baby: for tall beds

• the included straps will reach and will safely secure even under a king size bed
• the distance between bars is 55mm, which is CPSC compliant
• can also be used as a childrens bench because the Babybay can support up to 200 lbs.
• this co sleeper adjusts to as low as 4in off the floor.
• the sleeping platform is attached by brackets to the wooden poles of the stand and can be adjusted to any height.
• contains no toxins or harmful chemicals and is made from solid natural beechwood
• comes wih roller casters to allow the co sleeper to easily travel throughout the home
• it is fully customizable in color, mattress selection, canopy, etc.

This bedside sleeper for newborns does not rock or provide any movement but it is made to be very stable besides your bed, which makes it ideal for mothers nursing new babies! Definitely one of the best co sleeper cribs.

This cosleeper comes with a barrier which you have to install to comply with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. However in Europe it is not needed. Some parents do not install during assembly; however, this is not the intended configuration by the manufacturer in order to comply with CPSC.

Height

The unit is fully height adjustable. The maximum sleeping platform recommended by the manufacturer for safe use is 11in from the top rail. At this height the platform sits at 25in high and with any of the mattresses available (an additional 2in) you are then looking at 27in to top of mattress. With the manufacturer recommended safety barrier on (an additional 6in), the height to the top of the safety barrier is 31in from the floor. If using the roller casters this increases all metrics by 2.5in. So the platform height then sits at 27.5in, 29.5in to top of mattress and the top of the safety barrier is then 33.5in. Many parents with tall beds want their bed to come to the top of the safety barrier at minimum. Many parents also prefer that the top of their bed meet the platform height or somewhere between the safety barrier.

This co sleeper cot is everything you wish for in a baby co sleeper bed.

Especially when looking for a baby bed connected to bed. BONUS TIP: you can also buy it through amazon.de to save money. Shipping costs are higher but it will still be cheaper over all.

So these are the best baby beds that attach to parents bed! Hope you’ve find this a useful article 🙂

Advantages of a co sleeper

For a number of years experts claim that it is very good and healthy for a baby to stay with his parents in the master bedroom during the night for about six months. Besides feeling safe a very important part of co sleeping has to do with improving the bond between baby and parents. The baby feels loved and safe when he is near you and hears your breathing and your voice. Also, when your baby sleeps in the same room as you do he doesn’t have to cry loudly: you will be there to meet his needs from the moment you hear his little noises. He then learns that there will always be someone available for him to love and protect him.

That being said: make sure you sleep well and if having the baby right next to your bed makes you nervous or wakes you up too many times than make your own decision. Every mother does her very best to care for her child. Having a co sleeper might be one of those things you do for your baby and for yourself, but off course your baby will also know you love him and will always be there for him if you won’t let him sleep in your bedroom for six months 😉

Safe co sleeping

When bed sharing becomes room sharing.

With a co sleeper co sleeping is very safe. You have the advantages of bed sharing and keeping your baby close to you -which is good for the connection/bonding between parents and baby and also gives you more rest because you know and see how your baby is doing. At the same time using a co sleeper gives your baby his own bed so it does prevent you from a bed sleeper and having to worry about your baby sliding underneath your blanket or quilt while he wants to roll over or other things that could happen when your little baby is in your bed. Using a co sleeper for your baby really does give you the best of both worlds. You can read this article for more tips and info.

What to look for in a co sleeper

With co sleepers getting more and more popular there are many different options for you to choose from when buying a co sleeper. To start with here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re looking for the best co sleeper fit for you and your little one.

• Make sure the co sleeper bassinet fits beside your bed and isn’t too big. Sounds obvious but with so many co sleepers out there with different sizes you’d better be sure it fits.
• Also be aware that not all bedtypes are a good match with co sleepers. Some co sleepers have to be attached to the bed and can’t be used as a stand alone crib. Please make sure the assembly of the co sleeper fits your bedtype.

To make sure you buy the right co sleeper bassinet we’ve put together some things to take into notice if you’re looking for a co-sleeper

To what extend can the co sleeper reach?

You can adjust the height of almost every co sleeper but every co sleeper can reach to a different extend. If you have an extraordinary low or high bed, make sure you read the product specifications very carefully.

Baby bed attachment to parents bed: How does the co-sleeper needs to be assembled/attached to the bed?

Besides from using the cosleeper as a stand alone bassinet you can adjust the cosleeper to the master bed in most cases.

Double bed with baby bed attached?

Many cosleepers come with clamps to attach the co sleeper to the master bed but in case of a boxspring clamps won’t work. In this case you have to be sure that the cosleeper can be attached to your boxspring by using fastening straps. A lot of cosleepers come with fastening strips, so just be sure to check that in advance.

Which extra features do you find important in a bassinet attached to bed?

The best co sleeper cribs all come with specific features. If you’re feeling lost between all the different options and possibilities the cosleepers provide then it’s very important to start at the very beginning: what do you really want? What is or are the main reasons to buy a cosleeper for you? What is your situation? Do you for example have other kids or maybe a wild dog? In that case it is important that the cosleeper is sturdy and heavy so it won’t be knocked over.

Here are some things to think about before desiding which one fits best in your situation:

• Do you want to use it as a stand alone cot or do you want to attach it to the bed? And what baby crib bed attachment do you prefer? You find the best baby beds attached to parents bed above.
• Do you need wheels so you can easily place the co sleeper around the house?
• Do you travel often and/or do you want to use the co-sleeper at -for example-grandparent’s place? In this case you would probably like to have a cosleeper that can be folded easily that weights not too much.
• Do you want the possibilty to rock your baby in the cosleeper?
• Do you want the possibility to incline the bed in case your baby has reflux?

Additional expences and asseccories

Most cosleepers come with a mattress. Sometimes there is a carrying case included too. In other cases you can buy these things and other extra’s along with your co sleeper. So make sure what is included in the cosleeper price you see. It may look like a cheap co sleeper but if you have to buy a special matress and sheets it might become a little more expensive. This is not always the case so read the options and included extra’s carefully.
