Safety

A secure sleeping space is a must and a major consideration when choosing a crib. The mattress should fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, from simple foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers and some even have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop side, ensure it is in the upward position and secured.

Drop sides should only be allowed to fall when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental release. Avoid placing your cot against the wall if it is an end that is solid. This can limit airflow, which could cause death in the coffin. According to the latest research, cots with slatted edges may be safer because they allow for greater airflow.

If your cot is fixed on one side, choose it. It will be the most secure option for your child when they begin to crawl and pull themselves up. If your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots are equipped with a feature that allows the base to be raised to three levels. This is a wonderful security measure that allows the cot of your child to grow with them. Some cots offers have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their bed.

When you put your child in their cot bed sales, check that there isn't any visible danger - it must be away from heat sources or power points, windows and blind cords and curtains (these can be strangulation hazards). If you're purchasing second-hand or heirloom furniture be sure to look for any dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfer tapes that could be removed and create 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 a manual, make sure you go through it prior to using it and adhere to the instructions.

Style

The panel was awed by the mix of natural and white wood, as well as the clever features like under-bed storage drawers that can hold everything essential for babies, including bedding, nappies, and a huge selection of baby clothes. It's also simple to build with clear instructions and screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler desk and bed as your child gets older (see product description for more information).

One of our most loved features is the teething rails that protect your little one from bumping their head on the side of the cot or any other protruding parts of the cot, such as a handle or a corner post.

Cot beds are usually larger than cribs and can be turned into toddler beds once your child is ready which means you don't have to worry about buying another bed when they're ready to transition. They may cost more than a crib.

If your nursery is very small, a crib may be the best choice for you since it is smaller and occupies less space. However, if your baby is likely to spend much of their time in their parents' room or you're looking for a more durable bed, consider a cot.

A crib isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it does not meet the strict UK safety standards as outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which deals with mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats shouldn't be too far apart to stop your baby from falling off.

Stores

No matter if you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one the amount of things the baby will require is immense. This is why it's crucial to think about storage options when choosing a crib bed. Certain cots offer additional storage options, such as drawers beneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some cots can be converted into an infant bed or a small single beds to expand their usage.

Some cot beds can be transformed into a daybed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an excellent option for those who like the flexibility of a design.

A few cot beds come with hanging rails that can be used to store muslins, Dummies, and other small items. This helps keep everything tidy, neat and organized. It also looks beautiful. These items are easily accessible to parents, making it easier for parents to feed their child.

Another desirable feature to look for is a teething rail that is available with some cots. This can help to prevent your little one chewing on the wood, which could cause irritation. Some cots come with more traditional designs and have a huge storage drawer beneath the bed. It is perfect for toys, clothes blankets, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great option if you're running out of space, you must remember that you will need to buy a separate additional drawer. You may have to purchase bedding and a mattress separately since oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.
