How to Choose the best cot beds (pediascape.science) for Your Baby Cot Bed

If you're expecting a child it's crucial to select a cot that's safe and secure for your little one. Find a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that are in line with strict UK safety standards.

Our top pick is this basic but elegant cot from John Lewis' Anyday range. It comes with three mattress positions, teething rails as well as a storage drawer. It's also easy to set up with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Look for a soft, airy fabric, and ensure that the mattress is fitted snugly to prevent any gaps which could create an suffocation threat. There are a variety of mattresses available, including coils springs, foam, and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to determine the best one for your child.

It doesn't matter if you pick a conventional cot or a convertible cot, a good mattress is essential to ease of use. It must provide the right support and encourage an upright posture. This is also true for the slats. They should be firmly attached and not sagging or bent. The slats must be securely attached to the frame so that your child doesn't get stuck in them while they move in their sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations or look at online reviews. Choose a mattress that is ventilated, as they'll aid in regulate temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.

There are many styles to pick from that include traditional sleighs with intricate details and sleek, modern designs. Some are painted in vibrant primary colors to make your child feel happy and happy when they wake up.

The majority of cots have an under-bed storage drawer teething rails to prevent your child from chewing the sides of the cot, and height bases that are adjustable to accommodate baby's growth. You can also purchase an extra drop-side for babies that are small or have health issues that make it difficult to bend over.

Find a cot that is in compliance with the strict UK safety standard and is able to be easily converted into a toddler's bed when it is time. Look for this information in the product description or in the key specifications.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is a must and a major consideration when choosing a crib. Make sure that the mattress is snug and has no gaps between it and the cot's beds edges or sides (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 mattresses in various materials, from foam to natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is locked and in the upward position.

Drop sides should only be permitted down when an adult is present in the room. This can prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall as this will restrict airflow and can cause death in the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends could be safer since they allow more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side you should choose this because it will be safest when your child starts to crawl and climb up. Once your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to transition into the junior bed.

Some cots come with a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three levels. This is a fantastic security measure that allows the cot of your child to grow with them. Some cots feature adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who love to stand up.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there are no visible hazards. It should be kept away from any heaters or power points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, be sure to look out for choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. These can peel off and create a risk.

If you're unsure of what you should do to use your cot, ask other parents for help or attend an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a guide ensure that you go through it before using it and follow all the instructions.

Style

With its beautiful sleigh design This stunning cot bed will look great in your nursery. Our panel was impressed by the mix of white and natural pine, as well as its innovative features, like under-bed storage drawers that can hold all the baby necessities like nappies, bedding and a dazzling assortment of baby clothes. It is also easy to build, with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler bed or desk as your baby cots online gets older (see the product's description for more details).

One of our favorite features is the teething rails which protect your little one from bumping their head against the cot's side or any protruding parts of the cot, such as a handle or a corner post. They can also stop them from chewing on the wood, which prevents them from being trapped. The cot also has an opening that can be dropped to make it easier for access to your infant. We love that the cot can be converted into a toddler bed, and that it's strong enough to last for up to four years. It also met strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the main specifications below each product.

Cot beds can be transformed into toddler beds in the event that your child is old enough. This lets you not have to buy a new bed as your child gets ready to move up. They may cost more than a crib.

If your nursery is very small, a crib could be the best option for you as it is smaller and occupies less space, but should your baby be expected to spend most of the time in their parents' rooms or you'd like a more long-lasting bed, consider a crib.

If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards set by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other key elements in baby mattress cots) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats should not be too wide apart to prevent your child from falling out.

Stores

The amount of cheap baby cots for sale equipment you'll need is overwhelming regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. It is important to think about storage when you choose a cot. Some cots have additional storage options, including drawers beneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Certain cheap cots can be transformed into an infant bed or a small single bed to increase their use.

Some cots can be converted into day beds, as seen on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who prefer more flexible designs as the conversion process is simple and requires just the removal of a side panel. This allows parents to save money on a separate bed.

A variety of cot beds feature a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This makes everything tidy, neat and organized. It also looks fantastic. These items are easily accessible to parents, making it easier for them to feed their baby.

A teething rail is an additional desirable feature that is included in some cots. This can prevent your little one chewing on the wood that could cause them irritation. Some cots come with a more traditional design and include a large storage drawer underneath the bed. It is perfect for toys, clothes, blankets and other baby essentials.

This is a great solution if space is an issue, but you will have to purchase a drawer on your own. You might need to purchase a separate mattress and bedding since oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.

This sleigh cot from Stokke is a beautiful example of Scandi-style at its best and features a huge under-bed storage drawer that's ideal to keep all the baby's essentials out of view but easily reachable. The alphabetically labeled pieces and clear instructions made it easy to put together for our panel.
