Whether you opt for a standard or convertible cot, the primary factor to comfort is a good-quality mattress that is supportive and encourages healthy posture. This is also true for the slats.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is an essential aspect to consider when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress is snug and has no gap between it and the cot/cot beds edges or sides (big gaps could restrict your child's head or arms). Make sure it's solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't recommended, because they can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials including foam and natural materials that are great for those suffering from allergies. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is locked and in the upward position.

Drop sides should only be permitted down only when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental release. Do not place your cot against the wall if it is an end that is solid. This can restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. According to the most recent research, slatted end cots are safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your cot is set to one side, you should choose it. It's the safest option for your child when they start to crawl and then pull themselves upwards. Once your child is confidently standing and climbing, this is a sign that they're ready to transition into a junior bed.

Some cots feature features that allow the base can be raised to three different levels in order to grow with your child which is extremely useful and is a safety measure. Some cots also have footplates that can be adjusted, which are great for toddlers who want to sit up in their bed.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, ensure that there is no visible danger - it should be away from heaters or windows, power points and blind cords and curtains (these pose a strangulation risk). If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms to look out for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. These can peel off and create a risk.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot in a safe manner you can ask other parents or attend the local NCT New Baby Crib course for support and advice. If your cot has a manual, read it carefully before you begin using it, and be sure to follow the safety guidelines closely.

A crib isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it doesn't meet the strict UK safety standards outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which covers the thickness of mattresses, the materials used and other essential elements of baby cot mattresses. The slats should not be too close together to ensure your baby doesn't fall out.

Storage

No matter if you're a first-time parent or an experienced one the amount of items a baby needs is staggering. It's important to consider storage when selecting a cot. Some cots have additional storage options, like drawers underneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into toddler beds or a smaller single bed to extend their use.

Some cots can be transformed into day beds, as seen on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an ideal option for those who prefer a less rigid design as the conversion process is fairly easy and only requires the removal of one side panel. This will allow parents to save on the cost of the purchase of a separate bed.

Some cot beds come with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and dolls along with other small things. This makes it easier to keep everything organized tidy, neat and tidy and looks fantastic. Being able to access these items makes it much easier for parents to feed their infant.

Another thing to look for is a toothing rail that comes in a few cots. This will help stop your child from chewing on the wood, which could cause irritation. Some cots are designed with a more traditional style and come with a large under-bed storage drawer which is ideal for storing toys, blankets clothing, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great idea for when you're short on space, you must keep in mind that you'll need to buy a separate additional drawer. You might need to purchase an additional mattress and bedding because oval mattresses and sheets do not come with the cot.
