If you are expecting a child, it is important to choose a cot that will ensure safety and security for your baby. Look for a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that are in line with strict UK safety standards.

Comfort
The best cot newborn cot beds keep babies comfy and cosy. Choose a breathable soft, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is snug to avoid any gaps that could cause the danger of suffocation. There are many types of mattresses available, including coils springs, foam, and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to find the ideal mattress for your child.
No matter if you select a convertible or standard cot, the key to comfort is a mattress of high-quality that is supportive and encourages healthy posture. The slats need to be securely attached and not sagging. The slats must also be firmly attached to the frame to ensure that your child will not become caught in the movement in their sleep.
Ask your family and friends for recommendations, or read online cots reviews. Look for ones that are air-conditioned, as they'll help regulate temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.
When it comes to style, there's a wide choice, from traditional sleigh styles with elaborate details to sleek, contemporary designs. Some are even painted in vibrant primary colours which is great if you want your baby to wake up bright and cheerful!
The majority of cots have a drawer for storage underneath, teething rails that prevent your child from chewing the sides of the cot, and height bases that can be adjusted to accommodate baby's growth. You can also purchase a drop-side for infants who are small or suffer from medical conditions that make it difficult for them to bend over.
Look for a cot which meets the strict UK safety standards and is able to be easily transformed into a toddler's bed when it is time. This information is found in the description of the product and key specifications.
Safety
A secure sleeping space is a must and a major aspect to consider when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress is snug and has no gaps between it and the cot's bed's sides or ends (big gaps can restrict your child's head or arms). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in a variety of materials, from foam to natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, ensure that it is locked and in the up position.
Drop sides should only be allowed down when an adult is present in the room. This can prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on a wall if it has a solid end. This can limit airflow, which could cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted ends may be safer since they allow for more airflow.
If your crib has a fixed side, opt for this as it is the most secure option when your child begins to crawl and climb up. Once your child is standing and climbing, this is a sign that they're ready to move into a junior bed.
Some online cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a great safety measure and enables your child's cot to expand with the child. Some cots have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their bed.
If you are putting your child in their cot, check that there isn't any visible danger - it should be away from heaters, power points, windows, blind cords and curtains (these can be strangulation hazards). If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to check for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. These can peel off and cause danger.
If you're not sure how to use your cot safely, ask parents around or go to a local NCT New Baby course for assistance and guidance. If your cot comes with an instruction manual, read it carefully before you start using it, and then follow the safety-use guidelines carefully.
Style
This gorgeous cot bed with its sleigh-style design will look stunning in your nursery. The panel was awed by the mix of white and natural wood, as well as the innovative features like under-bed storage drawers for everything needed by babies, such as bedding, nappy and a huge selection of baby clothes. It's also simple to put together, with concise instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. It can also be transformed into a toddler desk or bed as your child grows older (see product description for more details).
The rails for teething are one of our favorite features. They keep your child from hitting their head on the side of the crib or any other protruding part of the crib, such as the corner post or handle. They also prevent them from chewing on the wood, and prevent them from suffocating. It also has an opening that can be dropped to make it easier for access to your newborn. We love that the cot can be converted into a toddler bed, and that it's built to last up to four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards, which can be found in the specifications that are listed under each product.
Cot beds can be converted into toddler beds when your child is old enough. This lets you not have to buy an entirely new bed when your child's ready to go up. However, they may be more expensive upfront than the crib that is standard.
If your nursery is very small, a crib may be the best choice for you, as it's smaller and occupies less space, but should your baby be expected to spend most of the time in their parents' bedroom or you're looking for a more durable bed, consider a crib.
If the cot you are using does not 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 cot mattresses) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too far apart to stop your baby from falling out.
Storage
The amount of baby gear you'll need is overwhelming regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. It's important to consider storage when choosing a cot-bed. There are a variety of cots that have additional storage options, like drawers under the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some can be transformed into a toddler or small single bed, extending their usability for longer.
Some cot beds can be further transformed into a daybed, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who prefer the flexibility of a design. The conversion is easy and only requires the removal of ONE side panel. This will allow parents to save money on a separate bed.
Some cot beds come with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins, dummies and other small objects. This helps to keep everything organized tidy and neat - and it also looks fantastic. These items are easily accessible to parents, making it easier for parents to feed their child.
A teething rail is a desirable feature that is included in some affordable cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the wooden cot which can cause irritation. Some cots are designed in a more traditional style and have a huge under-bed storage drawer that is perfect for storing toys, blankets clothes, and other baby necessities.
This is a great choice for those who have limited space but you'll need to purchase a drawer separately. You may also have to purchase a different mattress and bedding since oval mattresses and sheets aren't typically included in the cot itself.
This sleigh cot bed from Stokke is a lovely example of the Scandi-style at its finest and comes with a massive under-bed storage drawer that's perfect to keep all the baby essentials out of sight but still within reach. The alphabetically labeled parts and clear instructions made it easy to assemble for our panel. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be transformed into a toddler bed when your child is ready, which means it's good value too.
