Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is an elevated bed for your child that stops them from falling off. There are a variety of styles including bedside cribs to travel cots.

The mum tester Jasmin loved the storage compartment in the cot which is ideal for blankets and sheets. It's also simple to set up and has an incline setting that can reduce reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are the perfect companion for parents. They can keep baby warm, and (hopefully) asleep peacefully. When looking for a crib, there are a lot of aspects to consider. From safety and specifications to design and style. A good cot should last from newborn to toddlerhood. Therefore, durability is essential. The cot is stylish and robust and meets all of the latest guidelines. It's also priced reasonably and comes with a mattress.

Gemma, mother of Boden, 13 months has tested the product.

Mamas&Papas has a knack for designing stylish and practical nursery furniture and this crib is not an exception. It's a stylish option for the first room of your baby with a contemporary gray finish that will suit any color scheme. It can also be transformed into a cool day bed or toddler bed for longer-term use. It also has two different heights for the base, making it safer and easier to reach your child than a standard drop-side cot. And it's constructed with a shaped base that means it can fit through most standard doorways, an absolute benefit for busy parents. It comes with a dresser and changer to keep the essentials for your newborn close to hand.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot is designed to follow your baby from newborn up to about four years old. It comes with two mattress heights, which means you can start with a high-height base and then move down as your baby grows and begins to sit up on their own without assistance. It won Gold in the Mother&Baby awards 2024 for the best baby cots cot, crib or Moses basket and is a top pick for parents.

This cot is more sleek than the other models we tested. It's also great for smaller spaces. It also has a handy side door that lets you access the room easily to feed, change nappies or change nappy. Parents loved how easy this cot was to put together and our tester took just 12 minutes to have it set up and ready for use.

When choosing a cot bed make sure you choose one that conform to safety regulations. To stop your baby's legs from becoming trapped in the cot, it is recommended that all cots have bars that are no more than 6 centimeters apart. Make sure the slats on your cot are securely fastened to prevent any loose or fittings that are rusty.

A good quality mattress for your cot is essential for the comfort of your baby. Look for pocket springs or latex coated coir mattresses, as these offer the best support and won't slide like foams. Also, you should purchase an waterproof mattress cover since any dirt can get into the mattress itself and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots have additional features like adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage space for diapers (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great options, but make sure you purchase items that are safe and suitable for your child.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you want an infant crib that you can use from birth and put close to your bed while your baby sleeps, this might be just what you're looking for. It's a small design that fits easily through standard door frames and weighs only 6kg, so it's easy to move around your home. It's also easy to get up and down from, perfect for those diaper changes.

It's lightweight and portable, so you can move it easily between rooms or even on holiday. Its stand-alone design is a hit with many new parents who require to be able to reach their baby easily in the early stages of parenting. It comes with a comfortable mattress and a reflux wedge cover and a wedge cover, both of which are useful features.

The included Toddler Kit will also allow it to be transformed into a toddler bed, which is great for parents as it will last as long as your child needs it. It's a stunning cot with Scandi-inspired looks that will look lovely in your nursery and it's also good value for money when you consider the length of time it will be used for.

This solid pine cot is also an excellent choice. It is suitable for babies to 3 years old, and costs only PS372. Our test subjects loved its sleek paneled appearance. It's easy to put together and has an excellent storage drawer, a rail for teething and height settings that are adjustable. They can be helpful in keeping your newborn safe. Its small dimensions make it a great crib choice for those who have sloped ceilings or smaller spaces. Its robust construction means it will last for a long time and not break like other cribs.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib in the bed lets parents snuggle their infant close just before the time to go to bed. The NHS suggests that babies be kept in a separate bedroom for the first 6 months but many parents find that having their child near them prior to bedtime relaxing.

This cot from Babyletto is made from non-toxic paints in a vast range of colors, so you'll be able to match it to the decor of your nursery or bedroom. It's a good option for parents with sloped ceilings and don't want to occupy too much space on the floor. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights and tilted in four different positions. This includes an incline for reflux.

While it's attractive, it's a solid design that is built to last the toddler years too. One test-taker stated that her child was in the crib for two months and it was in good enough condition to be passed on to her next.

This cot is also compact and small, making it easy to set up and move around. It's a good fit for parents who have smaller spaces and can be used as a travel cot too. It was simple to put together, and testers loved the storage drawer that could hold everything your baby needs. It is a bit expensive, but it's worth the cost due to the design and functionality. You'll need a mattress separately for this cot. We recommend a firm, breathable mattress that fits snugly to keep your baby from becoming trapped. It should be a couple of inches shorter than the frame of the cot in order to avoid your child being able to climb out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino cot is among our most stylish models, but it's not just about looks. With two mattress heights, this cot will see your newborn through their first 18 months. It can even convert into an adult bed by adding an (available separately) toddler kit. The style is stylish and timeless and our test subject found it to be a perfect fit for any nursery. Particularly if you select the matching changing table and wardrobe.

No matter what kind of cot you choose, always ensure that it is in compliance with the relevant regulations for your Baby Crib's age group and your home. The spacing between bars shouldn't exceed 6.5cm (two inches) in order to keep children from getting their heads trapped. Additionally the surface shouldn't be rough in order to avoid the risk of suffocation. Also, you'll need to purchase an appropriate cot mattress which must be a perfect fit with no gaps around the edges and made of breathable materials to keep your baby's temperature regulated.

It's tempting, but carefully consider your budget and lifestyle prior to purchasing a cot with extra features like built-in storage or side panels for the bassinet that can be removed (as the Mamas&Papas Lua Cot). The most suitable cots allow your child to rest comfortably and securely. There are all-in-one cot beds that have lots of storage space that don't cost a lot.

If you are looking for a modern option then the SNOO crib with Smart Sleeper includes a built-in sensor that responds to your baby's cry. It gently lulls them into sleep in the same way as their mother's womb. The cost might be a bit expensive however for parents who have a difficult time sleeping, it could be worth the investment.
