Safety

When choosing a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers and some even come with anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has an inclined side, make sure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

A drop side should be allowed to fall only when an adult is present - to prevent accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom do not place it against the wall since it will block airflow and can cause coffin death. According to the latest research, cots with slatted ends are safer since they permit more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side choose this option as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and climb up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, this is a sign that they are ready to move into a junior bed.

Also make sure it is away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat.
