It should be at minimum 140cm x 70cm and there shouldn't be any gaps around the edges or corners.

Make sure the mattress is firm and sits flat inside the cot. It could be dangerous to suffocate when it is squishy or old, or damaged.

If your cot is equipped with drop-sides, be sure to check them regularly to make sure the mechanism locks securely.

Do not place the cot next to an open radiator or a sunny window. It could become too warm or awake with sunburn.
