Safety

When choosing a cot a safe sleeping environment should be a priority. Make sure the mattress is snug and has no gaps between it and the cot's bed's sides or ends (big gaps could keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, from simple foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has drop sides, make sure it is in the upward position and secured.

A drop side should only be allowed to fall only when an adult is present - this will prevent accidental release. Do not place your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This could limit airflow, which could result in death of the coffin. According to the latest research, cots with slatted edges are safer since they permit more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed side, opt for this as it is the most secure option when your child begins to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.
