Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is essential and a big consideration when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gap between it and the cot/cot bed's sides or ends (big gaps could restrict your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot features drop-sides, make sure it is locked and in the up position.

A drop side should be allowed to drop only if an adult is present, this will prevent accidental releases. Do not place your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This could restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer as they allow more airflow.

If your cot is fixed on one side, then you can choose it. It will be the most recommended cribs secure choice for your baby as they begin to crawl and pull themselves upward. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to move into a junior bed.

Some cots are equipped with an option that allows the base to be raised up to three levels. This is a great security measure that allows the cot of your child to grow with them. Some cots have adjustable footplates, which are great for toddlers who want to sit up in their beds.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there are no visible hazards. It should be put away from power and heater points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. All of these could create strangulation risks. If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to look out for choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and pose a danger.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot in a safe manner consult other parents or attend a local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with a manual, read it carefully before you begin using it, and then follow the safe-use instructions closely.

Stores

Whether you're a first-time parent or an experienced one the amount of items a baby needs is staggering. It is important to think about storage when choosing a cot-bed. Some cots come with additional storage options, like drawers underneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some can even be adapted to a toddler or a small single bed, which can extend their use for a longer time.

Some cots can be transformed into day beds, as seen on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who like a more flexible design. The conversion is simple and requires only the removal of one side panel. This will allow parents to save on the cost of an additional bed.
