Safety

Cot Beds are designed to provide a place that is safe and comfortable for your baby. The most important consideration is whether the bed meets current safety standards.

It should be free of labels, transfers and protrusions that could cause dangerous choking.

Check that the cot is properly assembled, particularly if it is an antique or hand-me-down model. Older cots could have been painted in leaded paint which is toxic for infants. Newer models usually include a locking mechanism to ensure that the cot doesn't collapse or fold down while your child is inside.

It is essential to choose the best crib newborn mattress for your child. It should be firm and snugly fit into the cot, with no gaps on either side. Use a mattress cover that is waterproof to protect the fabric and prolong its lifespan.

A cot with an adjustable base height is a good option, since it will allow you to lower the mattress as your child grows. This will prevent them from climbing out and falling off of bed, as well as reduce the risk of SIDS. It's also a good idea to measure the height of the base frequently, especially if your baby begins to crawl and pull themselves up during sleep.
