Find cot beds that comply with safety standards. To keep your baby's legs from getting trapped, all cots should have bars no more than 6cm apart. Also, check that the slats have been securely secured to prevent any loose or loose fastenings.

A high-quality mattress for a cot is also essential to ensure your baby's comfort. Choose mattresses that are coated with latex or pocket springs that provide the best support and do not sag. Also, you should invest in an waterproof mattress cover as any dirt will get into the mattress itself and cause your baby to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with additional features like gentle rocking movements to aid in settling your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot) and adjustable inclines to help ease reflux, and storage for nappy necessities (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These can be a wonderful option, but make sure to only buy additional items that fit securely and are suitable for your baby.

You'll need a cot mattress that fits perfectly without gaps around the edges. It should also be made of breathable materials in order to keep your baby's body temperature in check.

Although it's tempting to purchase a cot with additional features, such as built-in storage drawers, as well as removable bassinet sides (as with the Mamas&Papas Lua Cot) however, these must be carefully considered in the light of your budget and your lifestyle. The best cots allow your baby to sleep comfortably and in a safe environment. There are many all-in-one cot beds that have plenty of storage that won't cost a fortune.
