Safety

When choosing a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must. Make sure the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gaps between it and the cot/cot bed's sides or ends (big gaps could restrict your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Thick mattresses can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of various materials including foam and natural materials that are good for allergy sufferers. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is locked and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be permitted down only when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot on a wall if it has an end that is solid. This will restrict airflow, which can cause death in the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted edges could be safer as they allow more airflow.
