Safety

When choosing a cot an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials including foam and natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has drop sides, make sure it is in the upward position and locked securely.

A drop side should be allowed to fall when an adult is present, to prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall because it can block airflow and could cause death in the coffin. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted ends could be safer as they allow for greater airflow.

If your nursery isn't big enough, you might think about the possibility of a crib. It is smaller and requires less space. However, if you plan to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in your room, or if you need a bed that will last longer, you should choose a crib.

Some cots come with an older style and have a huge storage drawer underneath the bed, which is perfect for clothes, toys, blankets and other baby essentials.
