When you are expecting a child it is crucial to select a cot which will provide safety and security for your baby. Choose a cot that has fixed sides, instead of drop-sides. This will be in line with UK safety standards.

This simple but stylish cot is our top choice from the Anyday collection by John Lewis. It has three mattress positions, teething bars and an storage drawer. It is also simple to assemble, with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Find a comfortable, soft fabric. Make sure the mattress is snug to prevent any gaps that could pose the danger of suffocation. There are a variety of mattresses on the market - foam, coil springs and natural materials for allergy sufferers. So do your research and choose the best one for your baby's needs.

Whatever you decide to use, whether a standard cot or a convertible, a good mattress is vital to your the comfort. It must provide the right support and promote an upright posture. The slats must be firmly attached, and not sagging. The slats must also be securely fixed to the frame, so that your child doesn't get trapped in them while moving in their sleep.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations or look at online reviews. Look for ones that are breathable, as they'll help to regulate temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.

In terms of style, there's a wide choice, from traditional sleigh styles with ornate detailing to sleek, modern designs. Some are painted in bright primary colours to make your child feel happy and cheerful when they awake.

There are a lot of cots that have a drawer underneath for storage and teething rails to guard your child from chewing on the side of the cot, as well as adjustable height bases for infant growth. You can also buy a drop-side for babies who aren't tall enough or have medical conditions that make it hard to bend over.

Choose a cot that meets the strict UK safety standard and is easily transformed into a toddler's bed when it's time. Look for this information in the description or in the specifications.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is a must and a major factor when selecting a crib. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could hold the child's arms and head). Check that it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended cribs, since they could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers and some even come with anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has drop sides, make sure it is in the up position and Cot Bed secured.

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

If your cot is set on one side, choose it. It's the safest option for your baby cot online as they start to crawl and pull themselves upward. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots come with features that allow the base can be raised to three different heights to allow it to grow with your child This is extremely convenient and an added security measure. Other cots come with footplates that can be adjusted, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to stand up in their bed.

When you place your child's cot ensure there are no visible hazards. It should be placed away from power and heater points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. They all could create strangulation risks. When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to look out for choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They may peel off and cause danger.

If you're unsure of how to use your cot safely consult other parents or visit an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with an instruction manual, read it carefully before you begin using it, and be sure to follow the safe-use instructions closely.

Style

With its beautiful sleigh design This gorgeous cot bed will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel loved the combination of natural and white pine, as well as its clever features, such as under-bed storage drawers to keep everything necessary for babies, including nappies, bedding, and a stunning array of baby outfits. It's also simple to put together with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. It could also be transformed into a toddler's desk and bed as your child grows older (see product description for more details).

The rails for teething are one of our favorite features. They prevent your baby from hitting their head against the side of the crib or any other protruding part of the crib, such as the handle or corner post. They also stop them from chewing the wood, and prevent 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 to a toddler bed, and it's built to last up to four years. It also met strict UK safety standards. You can find these in the specifications below for each product.

Cot beds can be converted into toddler beds when your child is old enough. This allows you to avoid buying a new crib as your child gets ready to go up. However, they may be more expensive upfront than a crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, a crib might be the best crib option for you, as it's smaller and occupies less space, but if your baby is likely to spend a lot of time in their parents' bedroom or you want a longer-lasting bed, consider a crib.

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

Stores

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is a mess regardless of whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one. It's crucial to think about storage when choosing a cot-bed. Many cots come with additional storage options such as under-bed drawers or a coordinating cot top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted to a toddler or a small single bed, increasing their use for a longer time.

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

Some cot beds are equipped with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and dummies, as well as other small things. This keeps everything tidy, neat and organized. It also looks great. These items are easily accessible to parents which makes it easier for them to feed their baby.

A teething rail is another desirable feature that is included in some cots. This can help to keep your baby from chewing on the wood which could cause them irritation. Some cots feature an older style and have a huge storage drawer beneath the bed. It is perfect for clothes, toys blankets, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great option if you're in a tight space, you should 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 since oval mattresses and sheets aren't usually included in the cot itself.

Our panel of experts found it easy to put together thanks to the alphabetically labeled parts and clear instructions.
