Safety

A secure sleeping space is essential and a big consideration when choosing a crib. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't advised since they could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials including foam and natural materials that are great for allergy sufferers. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has an inclined side, make sure it is in the upward position and locked securely.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only if an adult is present, this will prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall because it will block airflow and can cause the death of a coffin. According to the latest research, slatted end cots are safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side, opt for this as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and pull themselves up. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots come with a feature where the base can be raised to three different heights, so that it will grow with your child - this is very useful and is a safety measure. Some cots also have footplates that can be adjusted, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their beds.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, make sure whether there is no visible danger - it must be kept away from heaters or power points, windows, blind cords and curtains (these are a strangulation hazard). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to look out for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. They may peel off and create a risk.

If you're not sure what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or go to an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with instructions, read them carefully before you begin using it, and be sure to follow the safety guidelines closely.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed, with its sleigh design will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel was impressed by the combination of natural and white pine, as well as its smart features, including drawers under the bed to store all the baby necessities like nappies, bedding and a stunning assortment of baby clothes. It's also easy to assemble with clear instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. It could also be transformed into a toddler desk and bed as your child gets older (see product description for more information).

The rails for teething are one of our favorite features. They stop your baby from hitting their head against the side of the crib or any other protruding part of the crib, such as the corner post or handle. They also prevent children from chewing on the wood and also preventing them from suffocating. It also has an opening that can be dropped to make it easier for access to your newborn. We appreciate that the cot could be transformed into a toddler bed and that it's strong enough to last up to four years.

Cot beds are typically larger than recommended cribs and can be turned into toddler beds once your child is ready, allowing you to avoid purchasing a bed when they're ready for the transition. They are more expensive than cribs.

If your nursery is very small, a crib could be the best option for you, as it's smaller and occupies less space, but if your baby is likely to spend much of their time in their parents' rooms or you're looking for a more durable bed, consider a cot.

If a cot does not meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other important elements in baby cot mattresses), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too close together, to ensure your baby doesn't get tossed out.

Storage

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is a mess regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. This is why it's crucial to think about storage options when selecting a cot bed. There are a variety of cots that have additional storage solutions available such as under-bed drawers or a top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into a toddler bed or small single bed to increase their use.

Some cots can be converted into day beds, as shown here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who like a more flexible design. The conversion is simple and only requires the removal of ONE side panel. This allows parents to save money on a separate bed.

Some cot beds come with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and dummies along with other small items. This allows you to keep everything organized tidy and neat - and it also looks great. Having easy access to these items will make it easier for parents to feed their infant.

Another thing to look for is a toothing rail that comes with some cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the wooden cot which can cause irritation. Some cots have a more traditional design and have a huge storage drawer under the bed. It is perfect for toys, clothes blankets, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great idea for when you're in a tight space, you must remember that you will need to buy a separate extra for the drawer. You may need to buy a separate mattress and bedding, as oval mattresses and sheets do not come with the cot.
