No matter if you select a standard or convertible cot, the primary factor to comfort is a mattress of high-quality that provides proper support and promotes healthy posture. This is also true for the slats, which should be secured and not sagging or bent. The slats must also be secured to the frame, so that your child doesn't get trapped in them while moving in their sleep.

Safety

A secure sleeping space is essential and a big aspect to consider when choosing a crib. Make sure the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gap between it and the cot/cot bed 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. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers and some even have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is secured and in the upward position.

Drop sides should only be allowed down when an adult is present in the room. This prevents accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot on the wall if it is an end that is solid. This can limit airflow, which could result in death of the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends could be safer because they allow for more airflow.

If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It's the most secure choice for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves upward. Once your child is confidently standing and climbing, this is a sign that they are ready to transition into the junior bed.

Some cots feature an option where the base can be raised to three different heights, so that it will expand with your child which is extremely convenient and an added safety measure. Other cots come with footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their bed.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be kept away from heaters and power points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. If you're buying second-hand or heirloom furniture, check for hazards to choking such as stickers and transfers that can be removed and create a risk.

If you're unsure of what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for help or take part in an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual be sure to go through it prior to using it and follow all the instructions.

Style

With its stunning sleigh design This gorgeous crib will look stunning in your nursery. Our panel loved the combination of natural and white pine, and its innovative features, like under-bed storage drawers that can hold everything necessary for babies, including bedding, nappies and a stunning variety of baby outfits. It is also easy to build, with clear instructions and screws for each section. It could also be transformed into a toddler's desk and bed as your child gets older (see product description for more information).

The teething rails are among our most loved features. They stop your child from hitting their head on the side of the crib or any other protruding part of the crib sets, like the handle or corner post. They also stop children from chewing on the wood and also preventing them from suffocating. There's also a drop-side for easier access to your newborn.

Cot beds are usually larger than cribs and can be converted into toddler beds when your child is ready and you can avoid purchasing a bed at an age when they're ready to transition. However, they are more expensive upfront than a crib that is standard.

If your nursery isn't big enough, you might think about a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However, if you plan to spend a lot of your baby's time in your bedroom, or if you need an item that lasts longer, you should choose a cot.

If a cot does not meet the UK safety standards set by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other key elements of baby cot mattresses), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats shouldn't be too far apart to stop your baby from falling out.

Stores

Whether you're a first-time parent or an experienced one, the amount of stuff a baby needs is staggering. It's important to consider storage when choosing a cot-bed. Some cots have additional storage options, like drawers beneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some cots can be converted into a toddler bed or small single bed to increase their use.

Some best cots can be transformed into day beds, like the one shown here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an excellent option for those who like the flexibility of a design.

Some cot beds have hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins, dummies and other small objects. This allows you to keep everything organised tidy, neat and tidy - and it also looks amazing. Being able to access these items makes it easier for parents when feeding their baby.

Another thing to look out for is a teething rail that comes with cots. This will prevent your child from chewing on the wooden cot, which could cause irritation. Some cots are designed with more traditional designs and come with a large under-bed storage drawer which is ideal to store blankets, toys clothes, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great idea if you're running out of space, it's important to keep in mind that you'll need to buy a separate extra for the drawer. You may also need to purchase a different mattress and bedding as sheets and mattresses that are oval aren't typically included in the cot itself.
