Safety

When choosing a cot a safe sleeping environment should be the top priority. Make sure the mattress is snug and has no gap between it and the cot/cot beds edges or sides (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in a variety of materials from foam to natural materials that are good for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has drop sides, make sure it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go to fall when an adult is in the room. This will prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This will hinder airflow and could cause death in the coffin. According to the latest research, cots with slatted ends are safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed side, opt for this as it's safer when your child starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to transition into the junior bed.

Some cots feature a feature where the base can be raised to three different levels in order to grow with your child This is extremely convenient and an added security measure. Some cots also have footplates that can be adjusted, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their bed.

When you put your child in their cot, make sure whether there is no obvious danger - it must be kept away from heaters and windows, power points and curtains and blind cords (these pose a strangulation risk). If you're purchasing furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece Be sure to check for potential choking hazards like stickers and transfer tapes that could be removed and pose the risk of.

It is also easy to construct with clear instructions and screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler desk and bed when your child gets older (see the product description for more details).

The teething rails are among our most loved features. They keep your baby from hitting their head on the crib's side or any protruding part of the crib, such as the handle or corner post.

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

If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to mattress thicknesses, materials, and other key elements in baby cot mattresses) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats shouldn't be too wide apart to stop your child from falling out.

Storage

If you're a new parent or a seasoned one the amount of items that a baby requires is overwhelming. This is why it's essential to consider storage options when selecting the crib bed. Some cots come with additional storage options, such as drawers under the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted into a toddler bed or a single bed, extending their usability for longer.

Some cot beds can be further transformed into a daybed like this one on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who prefer an edgier design.

A teething rail is another important feature that's included in some cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the cot's wooden structure, which can cause irritation. Some cots are designed in more traditional designs and have a huge drawer under the bed that is ideal for storing blankets, toys clothing, and other baby necessities.

While this is a great idea for when you're running out of space, you should be aware that you'll have to purchase an extra for the drawer. It is also possible to buy a new mattress and bedding, as sheets and mattresses that are oval aren't usually included in the cot itself.
