Safety

A secure sleeping space is essential and a big aspect to consider when choosing a bed. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended since they could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has a drop side, ensure it is in the upward position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be allowed down only when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid edge be sure to avoid placing it against the wall as it can block airflow and may contribute to coffin death. Recent research suggests that slatted ends could be safer since they permit more airflow.

It's also a breeze to put together, with concise instructions and separate sets of screws for each section.

They also stop them from chewing the wood, and prevent them from getting suffocated. The cot also has a drop-side to make it easier for you to get access to your baby.

Storage

Another desirable feature to look for is a toothing rail that comes in a few cots. This can help to stop your child from chewing on the wood which can cause irritation. Some cots are designed in a more traditional style and have a huge under-bed storage drawer which is perfect for storing blankets, toys, clothes and other baby necessities.
