Safety

When selecting a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must. Make sure that the mattress is snug and has no gap between it and the cot/cot bed's sides or ends (big gaps could keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Check that it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't advised as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers and some even come with anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, make sure it is secured and in the upward position.
