When you are choosing a cot bed, look for ones that are safe. All cots must have bars that are no more than 6.5cm apart to ensure your baby's limbs don't get caught. Also, ensure that the slats are securely fixed to avoid any loose or damaged fastenings.

It is important that your baby sleeps on a mattress that is comfortable for their cheap cot bed. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the most support and do not sag. It is worth investing in a waterproof cover too since any dirt or soil will go directly into the mattress and could make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots have additional bonuses such as adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for nappy necessities (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are fantastic additions, but only purchase items that are safe and suitable for your child.
