Safety

When selecting a cot, the safety of your child's sleep is a must. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Make sure it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended, since they could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers. Some even contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot features a drop-side, make sure it is secured and in the up position.

A drop side should be allowed to go down when an adult is present - to prevent accidental releases. Do not place your cot against a wall if it has a solid end. This could restrict airflow, which can cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer because they allow more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed side, opt for this as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and climb up. Once your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to transition into a junior bed.

Some cots have an option where the base can be raised to three different levels, so that it will increase with your child's growth which is extremely practical and a great security measure. Some cots come with adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who love to stand up.

When you put your child in their cot, check that there is no visible danger. It should be away from heaters and windows, power points and blind cords and curtains (these pose a strangulation risk). If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms to look out for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. They can come off and cause danger.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot safely you can ask other parents or visit an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with instructions, read them carefully before you begin using it, and then follow the safety-use guidelines carefully.

Storage

Some cots come with additional storage options, including drawers beneath the bed or a top changer (available separately).

Another feature worth looking for is a teething rail that is available in a few cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the wooden cot which can cause irritation. Some cots have a more traditional design and come with a large storage drawer underneath the bed that is ideal for clothes, toys blankets, and other baby necessities.

This is a great option for those who have limited space however, you will need to purchase a drawer separately. You might need to purchase bedding and a mattress separately because oval mattresses and sheets do not come with the cot.
