How to Choose the Best Cot Beds for Your Baby If you're expecting a child, it's important to choose a cot that will be secure and safe for your child. Find a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides), which comply with strict UK safety standards. This slick and stylish coffin is our top pick from the Anyday range by John Lewis. It comes with three mattress positions, teething rails as well as a storage drawers. It is also easy to put together, and comes with clear instructions. Comfort The best cot beds will keep babies comfy and cosy. Choose a breathable, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is snug to avoid any gaps that could cause the danger of the mattress becoming suffocated. There are a range of mattresses available on the market that include coil springs, foam and natural materials for allergy sufferers - so do your research before deciding on the right one for your baby's requirements. nursery cots doesn't matter if you pick a standard cot or a convertible cot, a good mattress is vital to your comfort. It should provide adequate support and promote a healthy posture. The slats need to be firmly attached, and not sagging. The slats should also be securely fixed to the frame, so your little one doesn't get trapped in them while moving during sleep. If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, consult friends and family or check online reviews for recommendations. Choose a mattress that is air-conditioned, as they'll help to regulate temperature and are less likely to harbour bacteria. There are a myriad of styles to choose from that include traditional sleighs with elaborate details and sleek, modern designs. Some are painted in bright primary colours to make your child feel cheerful and cheerful as they awake. There are a lot of cots that have an under-bed drawer for storage and teething rails to guard your child from chewing on the sides of the cot and adjustable height bases for baby growth. You can also purchase a drop side for smaller babies or those with health issues that make it difficult for them to bend over. For extra peace of mind, look for a cot that meets the stringent UK safety standards and will easily transform into an infant bed when the time is right. This information can be found in the product description as well as key specifications. Safety A secure sleeping space is essential and a big aspect to consider when choosing a crib. The mattress should fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Make sure it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended, because they can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers. Some even have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, make sure it is locked and in the up position. A drop side should only be allowed to fall only if an adult is present, this prevents accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall as this will restrict airflow and could cause the death of a coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted edges could be safer because they allow for more airflow. If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It will be the most secure option for your child when they start to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is standing and climbing, this is a sign they're ready to move into the junior bed. Some cots feature an option where the base can be raised to three different levels in order to grow with your child This is extremely practical and a great safety measure. Some cots also have footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their bed. When placing your child's cot be sure that there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be put away from power and heater points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. They all could present a strangulation threat. If you're buying furniture that is second-hand or an heirloom, check for choking hazards like stickers and transfers that can be removed and create danger. If you're not sure what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or go to a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual, read it carefully before you begin using it, and be sure to follow the safety guidelines closely. Style This gorgeous cot bed, with its sleigh-style design will look fantastic in your nursery. Our panel loved the mix of natural and white pine, and its innovative features, like drawers under the bed to store everything necessary for babies, including nappies, bedding, and a dazzling variety of baby outfits. It is also easy to construct with clear instructions and screws for each section. It could also be transformed into a toddler desk and bed as your child grows older (see product description for more information). The rails for teething are among our top features. They prevent your baby from hitting their head against the crib's side or any protruding part of the crib, such as the handle or corner post. They also stop them from chewing on the wood and also preventing them from being suffocated. There's also an opening that can be removed to allow you to get access to your baby. We love that the cot can be transformed into a toddler bed and that it's sturdy enough to last for four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the specifications below for each product. Cot beds are usually larger than cribs and can be converted into toddler beds once your child is ready, allowing you to avoid buying another bed when they're ready for the transition. However, they can be more expensive than a crib that is standard. If your nursery is small, a crib may be the best option for you since it is smaller and takes up less space, but should your baby be expected to spend a lot of time in their parents' bedroom or you want a longer-lasting bed, consider a cot. If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other essential elements in baby mattress cots), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats should not be too far apart, to ensure that your child doesn't fall off. Storage Whether you're a first-time parent or an experienced one the amount of things a baby needs is staggering. This is why it's essential to think about storage options when choosing the right cot bed. Certain cots offer additional storage options, like drawers beneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some can even be adapted into a toddler bed or a single bed, extending their usefulness for a longer period of time. Some cot beds can be transformed into a daybed like this one on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an ideal option for those who prefer an unstructured design since the conversion process is fairly simple and involves the removal of one side panel. This also allows parents to save money on a separate bed. A number of cot beds come with a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This helps to keep everything organised tidy, neat and tidy and also looks fantastic. Being able to access these items makes it easier for parents when feeding their infant. A teething rail is an additional desirable feature that is included in some cots. This will prevent your child from chewing on the wooden cot which can cause irritation. Some cots are designed with more traditional designs and have a huge under-bed storage drawer which is perfect to store blankets, toys clothes, and other baby essentials. This is a great choice if space is an issue but you'll need to purchase a drawer on your own. You may need to buy an additional mattress and bedding because oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot. This sleigh cot from Stokke is a stunning example of Scandi-style in its finest and comes with a massive under-bed storage drawer that's great for keeping all those baby necessities out of sight but easily reachable. Our panel found it very easy to put together thanks to the alphabetically labeled parts and clear instructions. It's suitable for babies as young as birth and can be transformed into a toddler's bed when your child is ready.
