Safety

When selecting a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must.

Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, from simple foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some even have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, ensure that it is locked and in the up position.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only if an adult is present; to prevent accidental releases. If your cot has a solid end, avoid placing it against the wall because this will restrict airflow and could cause the death of a coffin.
