How to Choose the best crib newborn Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you are expecting a baby it is crucial to choose a cot that will ensure safety and security for your baby. Choose a cot that has fixed sides rather than drop-sides. This will be in line with UK safety standards.

Our top choice is this simple but elegant cot from John Lewis' Anyday range. It comes with three mattress positions, teething bars and a storage drawer. It's also easy to set up with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Choose a breathable, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is fitted snugly to eliminate any gaps that could cause a risk of suffocation. There are a variety of mattresses available: coils springs, foam and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to determine the best one for your child.

If you choose an ordinary or convertible cot, the primary factor to comfort is a mattress of high-quality that is supportive and promotes healthy posture. The slats must be secured and not sliding. The slats must also be securely attached to the frame, so that your child isn't trapped in them while moving in their sleep.

If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, consult friends and family or check online reviews for recommendations. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they help regulate your body temperature and less likely to harbor bacteria.

There are many styles to choose from such as traditional sleighs, with elaborate details and modern, sleek designs. Some are even painted with bold primary colours, which is ideal if you want your little one to wake up feeling bright and happy!

Most cots come with an under-bed drawer for storage as well as teething rails that protect your baby from chewing on the sides of the cot, as well as adjustable height bases for infant growth. You can also purchase an extra drop-side for babies that aren't tall enough or have health issues that make it difficult for them to bend over.

Choose a cot that meets the strict UK safety standard and is easily transformed into a toddler's cot when it's time. Find this information in the description or in the specifications.

Safety

When choosing a cot, a safe sleeping environment should be a priority. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Make sure the mattress is firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in a variety of materials including foam and natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has a drop side, ensure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be permitted down only when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental releases. Do not place your cot against a wall if it has an end that is solid. This could hinder airflow and could cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer as they allow more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed side you should choose this because it is the most secure option when your child starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is standing and climbing, this is a sign they're ready to transition into the junior bed.

Some cheap cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised to three levels. This is a great security measure that allows your child's cot to grow with the child. Other cots come with footplates that can be adjusted, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their beds.

When you put your child in their cot, make sure that there isn't any obvious danger - it must be kept away from heaters, power points, windows and curtains and blind cords (these can be strangulation hazards). If you're purchasing second-hand or heirloom furniture, check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers that may peel off and present a risk.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot safely consult parents around or go to the local NCT New Baby course for assistance and guidance. If your cot has instructions, read them carefully before using it, and then follow the safe-use instructions closely.

Style

With its beautiful sleigh design, this gorgeous cot bed will look great in your nursery. Our panel members loved the mix of natural and white pine, as well as its smart features, including drawers under the bed to store all those baby essentials like nappies, bedding and a dazzling assortment of baby clothes. It is also easy to put together with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. It can also be transformed into a bed for toddlers and a desk as your baby gets older (see the product description for details).

The teething rails are among our top features. They prevent your child from hitting their head on the crib's side or any protruding portion of the crib, like the handle or corner post. They also stop children from chewing on the wood, and prevent them from suffocating. It also has a drop-side for easier access to your newborn. We are thrilled that the cot can be transformed into a toddler bed, and that it's built to last for four years. It also meets the strict UK safety standards, which can be found in the specifications that are listed under each product.

Cot beds are usually larger than cribs and can be turned into toddler beds when your child is ready, allowing you to avoid buying another bed at an age when they're ready to transition. They can be more expensive than a crib.

If your nursery is small, a crib might be the best choice for you as it is smaller and takes up less space. However, if your child is likely to spend a lot of time in their parents' rooms or you're looking for a more durable bed, you should consider a crib.

A crib isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it does not 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 cot mattresses for babies. The slats should not be too close together to ensure that your child doesn't get tossed out.

Storage

Whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one, the amount of stuff that a baby cots on sale requires is overwhelming. This is why it's essential to think about storage options when selecting the right cot bed. A number of cots have additional storage options such as under-bed drawers or a top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted to a toddler or a small single bed, extending their use for a longer time.

Some cot beds can be converted into a daybed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Mini Cot Bed. This is a great option for those who prefer an edgier design. The conversion is easy and only requires the removal of ONE side panel. This allows parents to save on the cost of a separate bed.

A variety of cot beds come with hanging rails that can be used to store muslins Dummies, and other small items. This makes it easier to keep everything organised tidy and neat and looks fantastic. Being able to access these items will make it much easier for parents to feed their baby.

Another thing to look out for is a teething rail that is available in a few cots. This can prevent your little one chewing on the wood that can cause irritation. Some cots are designed with more traditional designs and include a large drawer under the bed that is ideal to store blankets, toys clothing, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great option if you're in a tight space, it's important to be aware that you'll need to buy a separate additional drawer. You may also have to buy a new mattress and bedding as oval mattresses and sheets aren't usually included in the cot itself.

This sleigh-style Cot Bed (you could check here) is an exquisite illustration of Scandi style at its best. It has a large under-bed storage area that is ideal for keeping all baby essentials out-of-sight but within easy access. Our panel was able to find it straightforward to put together, thanks to alphabetically labelled parts and clear instructions. It's suitable for infants as young as birth, and can be transformed into a toddler's crib when your child is ready.
