Safety

When choosing a cot a safe sleeping environment should be the top priority. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in various materials including foam and natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is locked and in the upward position.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only if an adult is present, to prevent accidental releases. Do not place your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This could limit airflow, which could cause death in the coffin. According to the latest research, slatted end cots are safer since they allow for greater airflow.

These can all present a strangulation threat. If you're buying second-hand or heirloom furniture, check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers that can peel off and present the risk of.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot in a safe manner you can ask other parents or visit an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with a guide be sure to go through it before using it and follow the instructions.

Style

With its beautiful sleigh design, this gorgeous cot bed will look amazing in your nursery. The panel was impressed with the combination of natural and white wood as well as the clever features like under-bed storage drawers for everything needed by babies, such as bedding, nappies, and a wide selection of baby clothes. It's also simple to put together with clear instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. What's more, it can be converted into a toddler bed or desk when your baby grows older (see the product description for details).

One of our favorite features are the teething rails, which shield your baby from bumping their head against the side of the cot or any protruding parts of the cot, like handles or a corner post. They will also stop them from chewing on the wood, which prevents them from becoming trapped. It also features an opening that can be removed to allow you to get access to your baby.

Cot beds can be transformed into toddler beds if your child is old enough. This lets you avoid buying a new crib when your child is ready to make the leap. They are more expensive than cribs.

If your nursery is very small, a crib may be the best option for you, as it's smaller and takes up less space. However, should your baby be expected to spend much of their time in their parents' room or you want a longer-lasting bed, you should consider a crib.

A cot isn't suitable for babies to sleep in if it does not meet the strict UK safety standards outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which covers mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements of baby cot mattresses. The slats shouldn't be too close together, to ensure that your child doesn't fall out.

Storage

If you're a new parent or a veteran, the amount of stuff the baby will require is immense. This is the reason it's important to think about the storage options when you choose the right crib bed. A number of cots have additional storage options like drawers under the bed or a coordinating cot top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted into a toddler bed or a single bed, which can extend their usefulness for a longer period of time.

Some cots can be converted into day beds, as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who prefer more flexible designs as the conversion process is easy and only requires the removal of one side panel. This will allow parents to save money on the purchase of a separate bed.

A variety of cot beds come with a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins dummies and other small items. This makes it easier to keep everything organized tidy and neat - and it also looks fantastic. The ease of access to these items will make it easier for parents when feeding their infant.

Another desirable feature to look for is a teething rail that comes with some cots. This will prevent your child from chewing on the wooden cot, which could cause irritation. Some cots are designed in more traditional designs and have a huge under-bed storage drawer that is perfect for storing blankets, toys clothes, and other baby necessities.

While this is a great idea if you're short on space, it's important to remember that you will require a separate additional drawer. You may have to purchase bedding and a mattress separately because oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.
