When you are choosing a cot bed, look for ones that conform to safety regulations. All cots should have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart so that your baby's limbs aren't trapped. Check that the slats of your cot are securely secured to prevent any loose or rusty fittings.

A high-quality mattress for your cot is essential to ensure your baby's comfort. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs, which provide the best support and do not slide. It is important to invest in a waterproof cover too since any dirt or soil will be absorbed directly into the mattress and make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots offers come with additional bonuses such as adjustable inclines that help ease reflux, as well as storage for nappy necessities (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are wonderful accessories, but only buy items that are suitable and safe for your child.
