Comfort

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

It doesn't matter if you pick a conventional cot or a convertible cot the mattress is essential to ease of use. It must provide the right support and encourage a healthy posture. This is also true for the slats, which should be securely attached and not sagging or bent. The slats must also be secured to the frame so that your child doesn't get trapped in them while moving in their sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations, or read online reviews. Choose breathable mattresses, as they aid in regulating your body temperature and less likely to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Safety

When choosing a cot an environment that is safe for sleeping should be the top priority. The mattress should fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps could trap 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. Many companies offer mattresses in a variety of materials, from foam to natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features a drop-side, make sure it is locked and in the up position.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only if an adult is present, this prevents accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on a wall if it has a solid end. This will limit airflow, which could lead to coffin death. According to the latest research, cots with slatted ends may be safer because they permit more airflow.

If your cot is set on one side, choose it. It's the most secure option for your baby as they begin to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they're ready to move into a junior bed.

Some cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a wonderful security feature that allows the cot of your child to grow with their needs. Some cots have footplates that can be adjusted, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their bed.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, make sure that there isn't any obvious danger - it must be kept away from heaters or power points, windows, blind cords and curtains (these are a strangulation hazard). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to check for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. These can peel off and cause danger.

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