Bedside crib for 9kg+

Can anyone recommend a bedside cot for babies over 9kg / 6months.

DD is a big baby and coming to the weight limit of her bedside co sleeper but is only 4 1/2 months old. We don't want to put her in her own separate cot yet and I don't get the best sleep when she's actually in our bed so I'm looking for another bedside crib that will keep us going until she's a year old or so.

Failing that I'm considering a floor bed in our room.

Thanks x

Push a cotbed against your bed and take a side off…instant super large bedside cot with no weight limit. No other ‘bedside cot’ on market will be safe past 6 months/as they start to roll and pull to sitting.

The Next To Me Forever is for up to 18 months, so that might have a higher weight limit?

Although we were advised to move baby over to a cotbed/cot in our room at around 10kg, and most of the bedside cribs are only for up to 6 months.

OMG why nobody told me about that forever thing? It’s so much more expensive than a cotbed but I so would’ve fallen for it…

Just get a cot that can be strapped as a side car - there are guides online on how to do it.
