Safety

A secure sleeping space is essential and a big aspect to consider when choosing a cot. Make sure the mattress fits snugly, with no gaps between it and the cot's bed sides or ends (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of different materials, from foam to natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, ensure that it is locked and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be allowed to fall when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental release. Do not place your cot against the wall if it is an end that is solid. This can restrict airflow, which can cause death in the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer since they allow more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge, opt for this as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and climb up. Once your child is confidently standing and climbing, this is a sign that they're ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cots feature features that allow the base can be raised to three different levels to allow it to increase with your child's growth which is extremely practical and a great security measure. Some cots feature adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who love to stand up.

When placing your child's cot, make sure there are no visible hazards. It should be placed away from power and heater points. Also make sure it is away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. These can all create strangulation risks. If you're buying second-hand or heirloom furniture, check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers that can be removed and create danger.

If you're not sure how to safely use your cot, consult other parents for advice or attend a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a guide be sure to go through it prior to using it and follow the directions.

Style

With its gorgeous sleigh style, this gorgeous crib will look stunning in your nursery. The panel was impressed by the combination of natural wood and white and the clever features such as under-bed storage drawers that can hold everything essential for babies, including bedding, nappies and a huge selection of baby clothes. It is also easy to build with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. It could also be transformed into a toddler desk or bed when your child gets older (see the product description for more information).

The rails for teething are among our top features. They prevent your baby from hitting their head on the crib's side or any other protruding part of the crib, such as the handle or corner post. They also prevent children from chewing on the wood and preventing them from being suffocated. It also features an opening that can be removed to allow you to get access to your baby. We are thrilled that it can be converted into an infant bed, and that it is sturdy enough to last for up to four years. It also complies with strict UK safety standards.

Cot beds are generally bigger than cribs and can be converted into toddler beds once your child is ready, allowing you to avoid buying another bed until they're ready to move on. However, they may be more expensive upfront than the crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, you may be considering the possibility of a crib. It is smaller and takes less space. However should you be planning to spend a lot of your baby's time in the room, or if you need an item that lasts longer, you should consider a cot.

A cot isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it doesn't meet the strict UK safety standards as outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which covers mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements of baby cot mattresses. The slats should not be too wide apart to stop your baby from falling out.

Stores

No matter if you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one, the amount of stuff that a baby requires is overwhelming. This is why it's crucial to think about storage options when choosing the crib bed. Some cots come with additional storage options, like drawers beneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some can be transformed into a toddler or small single bed, which can extend their usefulness for a longer period of time.

Some cot beds can be adapted into a day bed like this one on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who prefer an edgier design. The conversion is simple and only requires the removal of ONE side panel. This lets parents save money on an additional bed.

A number of cot beds have hanging rails that can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This helps to keep everything organised, neat and tidy and looks fantastic. These items are easily accessible to parents which makes it easier for parents to feed their child.

A teething rail is an additional desirable feature that is included in some cots. This will prevent your child from chewing on the wooden cot, which could cause irritation. Some cots are designed with an older style and include a large drawer under the bed that is perfect to store blankets, toys clothes, and other baby essentials.

This is a great option if space is an issue but you'll need to purchase a drawer on your own. You may also have to buy a new mattress and bedding since oval mattresses and sheets aren't usually included in the cot sales itself.
