Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is a bed for your child with high sides to keep them from falling out. They come in a range of styles from bedside recommended cribs (bassinet-style cots that attach to your side of the bed to allow safe co-sleeping) to travel cots.

The mom tester Jasmin was impressed with the cot's storage space that is perfect for sheets and blankets. It's also easy to set up and has an incline option to reduce reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a parent's best friend, ensuring that the baby snug and (hopefully) sleeping soundly. But when shopping for one there's plenty to consider, from spec and safety to design and style. A good cot has to last through the newborn stage and into toddlerhood, so durability is key. This cot is sleek, sturdy and complies with the most recent standards. It's also affordable and includes an extra mattress.

Gemma, mother of Boden, 13 months tried the product.

This cot is a fantastic illustration of how Mamas&Papas can create chic and practical nursery furniture. It's a stylish option for your baby's first room, with a modern gray finish that will suit any color scheme. It can also be converted into a cool day bed or toddler bed for long-term use. It also has two different heights for the base, making it safer and easier to reach your baby than a standard drop-side cot. The shaped base allows it to fit through most standard doors, which is a great benefit for parents who are strapped for time. It even comes with a dresser/changer to keep all your newborn essentials close by.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot can grow with your baby, from birth until around four years old. It has two mattress heights so you can begin with a higher base and then lower as your little one grows and learns to sit up on their own without assistance.

This cot is more sleek than other models we tested. It's also great for smaller rooms. It comes with a convenient side door that allows you to reach in easily to feed and change nappies or change a diapers. Our tester took just 12 minutes to put together the cot.

Look for cot beds that conform to safety regulations. To keep your baby's legs from getting trapped the cot should have bars that are no more than 6 centimeters apart. Make sure the slats on your cot are securely attached to avoid any loose or rusty fittings.

It is important that your baby has a comfortable cot mattress. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the best support and don't sag. Also, you should consider investing in a waterproof mattress cover, since any dirt can get into the mattress itself and cause your baby to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots come with extra bonuses that include gentle rocking motions to aid in settling your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are wonderful additions, but only purchase items that are safe and suitable for your child.

We recommend a comfortable, airy mattress that is snug to keep your child from being trapped. It should be a few inches shorter than the frame of the cot in order to ensure that your child is not able to climb out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino is one of the most stylish cots we have on our list, but it's not all about looks. The cot is designed to last for the first 18 months of their life. It could also be converted into a bed for toddlers by adding a separate toddler kit. The design is elegant and timeless, and our tester believed it would work in any nursery. Particularly if you opt for the matching changing table and wardrobe.

Whatever cot you choose, be sure it meets the guidelines applicable to your baby's age and your home. The bars' spacing must not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches), which will prevent the baby's head from getting trapped. The surface should be smooth to avoid the risk of suffocation. You'll need to purchase an cot mattress that fits perfectly and has no gaps around the edges. It should also be made of fabrics that are breathable to regulate your baby's body temperature.

It's tempting, but you should be aware of your budget and lifestyle before purchasing a cot with extra features, such as built-in storage and side panels for the bassinet that can be removed (as the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot). The most ideal cots allow your child to rest comfortably and securely. You can find all-in-one cots with plenty of storage that don't cost a lot.

The cost is a bit steep, but it could be worth it for babies who are prone to fussiness.
